His grandfather, Samuel A. LeBlanc, I, a graduate of Tulane University Law School in New Orleans and a native of Paincourtville in Assumption Parish, was also a member of the Louisiana House - for a term extending from 1912 to 1916. From 1920 to 1930, the senior LeBlanc was district judge of the Louisiana 23rd Judicial District, which then included Ascension, St. James and Assumption parishes. In 1929, LeBlanc was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Justice Paul Leche of the Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeal, a post to which he was later elected and served until 1949, when he won election to the Louisiana Supreme Court to finish the unexpired term of a retiring chief justice. LeBlanc remained on the court until December 1954, not long before his death.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LeBlanc, Samuel, I )〕 LeBlanc's father, Samuel LeBlanc, II, was one of five children of Judge LeBlanc and the former Elmire Lafaye (1889-1972). Samuel LeBlanc, II, serving as a lieutenant in the United States Navy Reserve, was a casualty of World War II. Samuel's widowed wife, the former Marcelle "Nootsie" Reese (1916-1985), was living at the time in Donaldsonville in Ascension Parish with her two children, Sam, III, and Marcelle, later Marcelle L.
