Catholic. A brick mason by trade. Arrived in New Orleans Louisiana sometimes between the birth of their first daughter in April 1749 and their son Pierre in June of 1752. Pierre was baptized at St. Louis Cathedral. They were in Illinois by March 1756. It is probable they left New Orleans in 1755, with the usual autumn convoy to the Illinois. He was Master Mason at Fort Chatres, Illinois. They lived at Prarie Du Rocher and later at Kaskaskia. The Manuels left Illinois at the end of the Seven Years war, when the English acquired the land east of the Mississippi. They probably departed for New Orleans on 15 June 1764 in convoy of soldiers and settlers led by the Illinois Commandant, Pierre-Joseph De Neyon De Villers. De Neyon had turned command over to Louis St Ange de Bellerive leaving forty men under him to await the arrival of the English. They arrived in New Orleans on 1 July 1764. Jean Manuel wrote to his friend in Illinois that they would remain in New Orleans on 10 Jan. 1765. Research is continuing for the parents of Jean Manuel. He is believed to be from the area of the French Spanish border, in the Pyrennes mountains. Possibly of Basque descent.
