Biography
Noël Jourdan père served with Continental Army during the American Revolution.
- "Noel Jourdan was a son of a sergeant in the French regiment of Rochambeau during the Revolution. He served until the surrender of Cornwallis, [1781] [1]and was finally discharged, on account of his ill health, in the West Indies, and made his way to New Orleans. He established a bakery, and soon became a man of wealth. He obtained from the Spanish authorities a concession on the Catahoula, now known as Jourdan river, in the present county of Hancock, Miss, and went extensively into the breeding of cattle and the manufacture of tiles.
- "His only son he educated in France. On his return he became judge of the county, its representative in the convention and in the legislature, and was the most influential man, especially with the Creek population, in that quarter of the state. He subsequently removed to and became a large sugar planter in St. James, La., where he died." [2]
- Home in 1830 (City, County, State): Hancock, Mississippi [3]
