The Carriere Family - Jean Carriere and Marie Chauffert - The fertile rolling land in and around Liboume has long been known for its abundant crops, particularly grapes. Bordeaux wines have been produced in this area for centuries. But the area is also noted for the large number of immigrants to the original French Louisiana Province and to the United States. Liboume is a town in the Gironde Department of southwestern France, northeast of Bordeaux. It was in the town of Liboume in the early eighteenth century that Jean Carriere was bom. He was the sixth child of Gabriel Carriere and Marie Magdelaine Chicou. Gabriel Carriere was a druggist, but the main thrust of his business was wholesaling pharmaceuticals. He was a Bourgeois of Liboume, an individual whose middle class standing was derived from commercial or industrial enterprise.

The Delaunay Family - Jean Chevalier Delaunay remained in France during the last years of the 1700's, so as to take care of an aged aunt. In 1799 he received a poignant letter from his father, Robert Delaunay, who had settled in Philadelphia during the 1790's so as to get away from the turmoil in France during those years. Jean left France for Philadelphia after receiving the letter and took up residence there. After his marriage, he moved his family to New Orleans around 1820. By 1835 he was established in Biloxi, where he rented out cottages and helped the illiterate with legal documents. His family has now been spread throughout the Gulf Coast. Most of his grandchildren were girls, and, it seems that today, only one or two boys carry the name so as to see it continued on the Coast. Jean Delaunay died in his eighties in 1862. He is buried in the Biloxi cemetery.
