Hi Nan,
I believe that the Pierre Leduc you mention is my Great Grandfather Pierre Francois Remis Leduc born in Vaudreuil, Quebec on 15 May 1855. Died in Hawkesbury, Ontario on 24 April 1910.
Pierre's father's name Francois Andre Leduc. My Grandfather Ovila, Pierre Francois Remis' son, has Pierre as a second name. As far as I know, none of his (Pierre's) sons were named Pierre.
My middle name is Ovila after my Grandfather. We are all descendants of the Pierre Leduc who came to New France (Canada) as a soldier in 1691. That Pierre's fathers name was Pierre, who's father was named Pierre as well.
I don't know if this offers any assistance in understanding how names are/were handed down or if it adds to the confusion.
Contact me if I could be of assistance. Good luck with your search.
Harold Leduc
