Summary

The first of the name, Jean Baptiste Tounoir, arrived from Poitou, France and married Marie DeCuir; uniting him to one of the oldest and most influential Creole families of the region. Creole is used here in the sense of Louisiana born of French or Spanish descent. Their daughters married into prosperous Caucasian families. All three surviving sons had relationships with free women of color resulting in descendants who were Creole by the other definition (Louisiana natives born of Spanish or French mixed with African)
