I do not have information on Léon-Arthur but a little bit of Robillard history
One Robillard named Claude came to Canada in 1663 at the age of 13, by all account he was an orphan alone on the ship
he settle in Champlain Québec on the north side of the
St Lawrence river
all the Canadian Robillard descended from him as there is only him registered in the Tanguay book.
I have found lately of another Robillard who came to Louisiana USA. he is Louis Robillard married to Marie Cordier One son Charles Married Marie Pourciau on sept 07 1762 in St Francis church, Pointe Coupée Parish LA.
I have not been able to find out more about Louis Robillard but i doubt that your ancestors wold descend from him since you mentionned that your ancestors were from R.I.
My own father was born in Lyndonville Vermont as many French Canadians immigrated to the US in the late 1800's to work in the cotton mills in Mass. Or Rhodes Island.
You can e-mail directly at [email protected] for further discussions in the mean time, i will dig a little deeper.
Regards
Yvan Robillard
