One of my Moffet relatives was also called LeClerc. That is because he did work as a clerk at that time. That is probably where the name developed. However - I must tell you that you don't even have the Maufay-Moffet family listed in your Pioneers, even though they came in 1653 & have been here ever since. There is even a street in Quebec city named after him "Pierre Maufay". I am about 11th generation of the Moffets in Canada, so am surprised that they are not listed on your site. I do have a lot of info from other Genealogy sites & from the Archives in Ottawa & Quebec.
