He was baptized 26 July 1751 in New Orleans.

He married c. 1770 Marie-Magdeleine DE MARIGNY DE MANDÉVILLE, daughter of Antoine Philippe DE MARIGNY DE MANDÉVILLE of France and Marie Françoise DUPART GASCHET de l’Isle (NO Ch).
By 1788, she ([[[Marigny_de_Mandeville-1|Marie-Magdeleine]]) had died, and Charles OLIVIER de Vézin had taken up with one mulâtresse mistress and soon would have an additional one: Adélaïde DUBREUIL – mulâtresse affranchie, daughter of Alexandre DUBREUIL and Marianne – négresse esclave. Magdeleine LACOSTE – mulâtresse libre, daughter of Jean LACOSTE and unknown négresse mother.[2]
