Biography
Jean was single when he left Osse in 1685. In the terms of the day in Bearn, he was a cadet, an unmarried younger son. (This has been verified by several sources in Osse.)
Jean Latourrette was a Hugenot. He fled from Osse, Bearn, in September 1685, and arrived in New York in the fall of 1687 with Pastor Pierre Peiret.[1]
"He was a carpenter and refugee from France and came over in 1687 on the ship "Robert". Met his wife Marie Mercereau in New York city. Married in 16 July 1693."[2]
La Tourette means 'Little Tower.'[3]
