THE JOAN CARRIERE FAMILY
JEAN CARRIERE AND MARIE CHAUFFERT
The fertile rolling land in and around Libourne 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. (The New Encyclopedia Britannica,
1974, Vol. IV, p. 200.)
Libourne is a town in the Gironde Department of
southwestern France, northeast of Bordeaux. At the
confluence of the Isle and Dordogne rivers, it is a
port for ocean-going vessels and the centre of a
wine-producing district. Libourne (Leybornia) takes
its name from Roger de Leyburn, English seneschal of
Gascony, who founded it as a bastide (fortified town)
in 1270. It was united to France in the 15th century.
Its Clocktower Gate dates from the 14th century and its
town hall from the 16th. Latest census 19,981.
It was in the town of Libourne in the early eighteenth century
that Jean Carriere was born. 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
Libourne, an individual whose middle class standing was derived from
commercial or industrial enterprise. Apparently he had a rather large
business, because one or two of his sons were also in the pharmaceutical
