LEBLANC, MARCHAND, SAMSOM posted by Pamela Sampson on Sunday, November 22, 1998

Hi, I believe I am a descendent of Deseree Samson (I understand he was lost at sea at the age of 38). My spelling may be wrong, but his son William was my great, great grandfather. I believe Deseree married Julia LeBlanc or Julia Marchand. I am curious as to how many children they had and if my information is correct. Also, for some reason, when my relatives came to Boston, they added a "p" to the name Samsom (or maybe Immigration did that). I believe their marriage took place in the mid to early 1800's. I would love to know if my information is accurate so that I might travel up to Nova Scotia to see the land of my ancestors. There are many Sampsons in the Boston area and we are planning a reunion and I would like to include this information in the family tree. Thank you so much for any help you can offer. Warmest Regards. Pamela Sampson P.S. Is there a Sampson's Cove up there? I have not seen it on the map. Thanks again
