Hello Raymond,
Dieudonné ROT dit Leroux married Marie Louise RAYMOND in St-Eustache in 1819. His parents are listed as Alexis ROT dit Leroux and Marie Anne COSSETTE.
Alexis ROX married Marie Anne COSSETTE in Champlain in 1781. He was the son of Jean Baptiste RAUX and Agathe LEFEBVRE.
At the time, it was not all that unusual to add "LE" before a surname. Thus RAUX/ROX/RHEAULT (pronounce ROE) could easily become LERAUX. Perhaps there were LEROUX families nearby or the parish priest knew of that surname, and it was transformed to LEROUX (ending pronounced RUE).
