Pierre LeMoyne Sieur d'Iberville1,2

b. 16 July 1661, d. 9 July 1706
     Pierre LeMoyne Sieur d'Iberville was born on 16 July 1661 in Villemarie, Nouvelle France, now Montreal, Quebec, Canada.3,1 He was the son of Charles LeMoyne de Longueuil et de Chatauquay and Catherine Thierry-Primot.1,2 Pierre LeMoyne Sieur d'Iberville was baptized on 20 July 1661 in Villemarie, Nouvelle France, now Montreal, Quebec, Canada.1 He married Marie-Therese Pollet on 8 October 1693.1,2 Pierre LeMoyne Sieur d'Iberville died on 9 July 1706 in Havana, Cuba, at age 44.4,1 He was buried on 9 July 1706 in Havana, Cuba.4,1
     From the web site "Canada, A People's History": "At the beginning of the eighteenth century, France and England were at war once again, but this time the Iroquois remained neutral having signed a peace treaty with the French.
In North America, thanks to their native alliances, the French had expanded their empire on the continent despite the enormous numerical superiority of their enemies. New France had only 17,500 habitants, whereas the English colonies had more than a quarter of a million (251,000). Canadien soldiers, French born in the colony, kept the English colonies on edge. The most famous was Pierre Lemoyne d'Iberville.

D'Iberville was the first Canadien to be dubbed a Chevalier of the Order of Saint Louis, the highest military distinction in the kingdom. He belonged to one of the most remarkable families in Canada. His father, Charles, had come to Canada at the age of fifteen as a servant working for the Jesuits. When he died, 44 years later, he was a seigneur and one of the richest merchants in Montreal.
All the Lemoyne sons were fearless warriors. For Canadiens, successful trade and military feats provided the most direct route to achieving their ambition: glory and a noble title.

Governor Denonville had already noticed d'Iberville when he was young, during the wars against the Iroquois. "D'Iberville is a very wise boy," he wrote in a letter on October 31 1687, "enterprising and who knows what else he is capable of. There are eight Lemoyne children, all of them the finest bred in Canada."

When war broke out in 1696 between France and England, d'Iberville won victories all over the continent. With only a handful of militiamen and natives under his direct command, he threw the English out of Hudson Bay, then attacked Newfoundland.


"It is well known how important for England is the fishery of Newfoundland," he wrote, "and the wealth she draws from the trade she undertakes in dried cod for Portugal, Spain and Italy, the damage she would suffer from the ruin of her establishments, and the advantages the French would thereby gain."

In November 1696, d'Iberville attacked the Newfoundland outports, leading 120 militia and Mi'kmaq warriors. He went on to besiege St. John's. He burned houses and had a prisoner scalped. The message was clear:

"The French have captured a colonist named William Drew," recounted one Philip Roberts,"have cut out his scalp then, with sheer strength, have ripped the skin off from the forehead to the nape of the neck and then sent it into the English fort with the promise that they would apply the same treatment to all those habitants who refuse to surrender."

The besieged surrendered!

In 1701, Louis XIV commanded d'Iberville to found a post at the mouth of the Mississippi River on a site south of present-day New Orleans to block the expansion of the English colonies toward the interior of the continent."5 "Born in Montreal in 1661, Pierre Lemoyne d'Iberville was simultaneously and in succession an adventurer, soldier, ship's captain, explorer, pirate, smuggler, and the first governor of Louisiana (1704-1706).

Iberville began his military career fighting the English with Chevalier Pierre de Troyes's expedition, which captured three English forts on Hudson Bay in 1686. During the following years, Iberville distinguished himself in many battles in the Hudson Bay area, capturing several English ships, as well as Fort New Severn (1690) and Fort York twice (in 1694 and 1697). He also took part in a victorious raid against Corlaer (Schenectady, New York) in 1690 and then against Fort William Henry (Pemaquid) in Acadia (1696). Finally, in 1696-1697, he succeeded in dislodging the English almost entirely from Newfoundland.

After these military feats, Iberville was chosen to continue La Salle's interrupted work. After leaving Brest, France in October 1698 with four vessels, he sailed along the north coast of the Gulf of Mexico in search of the Mississippi; in March 1699 he finally managed to find the river after meeting some Indians of North America who showed him tangible proof of La Salle's passage. He built Fort Maurepas (today Ocean Springs) in Biloxi Bay, left a garrison at the fort, and returned to France. The following year Iberville came back to consolidate the Louisiana settlement. He put up a second fort, named Fort Mississippi (near Phoenix, Louisiana), and then a third one in Mobile in 1701, which he named Fort Saint Louis. He returned to France in 1702, his mission accomplished: the French were now settled in Louisiana for good.

At the beginning of 1706, Iberville set sail again from France for America on a new mission: to conduct a campaign of harassment against the English settlements in the West Indies. After capturing the islands of Nevis and Saint Christopher (Saint Kitts), Iberville died in Havana in July, probably of yellow fever.6 " He began military service in 1675 when he joined the "Garde Marine, sur les vaisseaux du Roi, pour y commencer son apprentissage d'homme de mer."7

Jean Baptiste LeMoyne Sieur de Bienville1,2

b. 23 February 1679, d. before 7 March 1767
Jean Baptiste LeMoyne, Sieur de Bienville
     Jean Baptiste LeMoyne Sieur de Bienville was born on 23 February 1679 in Villemarie, Nouvelle France, now Montreal, Quebec, Canada.3,1 He was the son of Charles LeMoyne de Longueuil et de Chatauquay and Catherine Thierry-Primot.1,2 Jean Baptiste LeMoyne Sieur de Bienville was baptized on 23 February 1679/80 in Villemarie, Nouvelle France, now Montreal, Quebec, Canada.4 He died before 7 March 1767 in Paris, Seine, France.3 He was buried on 7 March 1767 in Paris, Seine, France.1
      Biography From Southbear's New Orleans website: "Jean Baptiste LeMoyne, The Sieur de Bienville was born in Quebec, Canada on 23 February 1680, the younger son of the Charles LeMoyne, Sieur de Longueville, a minor nobleman of the French-Canadian aristocracy. His older brother, Pierre Le Moyne, Sieur d' Iberville, was largely responsible for shaping the destiny of Bienville. The Le Moyne brothers were devoted to each other, and equally devoted to the cause of France in the New World. During this time, France was engaged in a power struggle with Britain for domination of the North American continent. D'Iberville and Bienville began their service to France during King William's War. The Le Moyne brothers fought in an expedition to oust the British from Newfoundland and the Hudson Bay in 1695 to 1698. It was during this campaign that d'Iberville came to the attention of the Ministry of the Marine in Paris. The Ministry knew that it would take extraordinary people with abiding patience and a driving hatred of anything English to accomplish the task of creating an empire from the swamps of the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The LeMoyne brothers had proven that they were up to the task.

The Mississippi River basin had originally been claimed for France by Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, in 1682 when he successfully located the mouth of the river and named the territory drained by it Louisiana. However, La Salle was unable to relocate the river on a second voyage, and his expedition was lost on the coast of Texas during a mutiny. In addition, King William's War began, and France was unable to attend to its designs for Louisiana for several years. When France again returned her attention to the territory, the authorities in Paris decided to entrust the feat of rediscovering the river's mouth and establishing a colony on its banks to d'Iberville. D'Iberville led the expedition, which sailed from Santo Domingue (Haiti) on January 1, 1699. The territory of the northern Gulf coast, therefore, became forever associated with the legacy of the Le Moyne brothers. D'Iberville is credited with founding Biloxi, Mississippi in February, 1699. He entrusted much of the administrative responsibilities of his expedition to his brother. Therefore, Bienville is credited with the founding of many of the region's other cities as well as New Orleans, including Mobile, Bay St. Louis, Baton Rouge, and Natchez. After d'Iberville's death in Cuba in 1701, Bienville inherited responsibility for the colony of Louisiana, serving as its governor for most of the first half of the 18th century. When France decided that a city must be built on the banks of the Mississippi River, Bienville was sent to do so in 1718. He had chosen the site for the proposed city many years before, during his first expedition up the river in 1699. Though his choice was not the choice of the French officials, who preferred that the future city be built either further downriver or on the banks of Lake Pontchartrain, through adamant persuasion and patience, Bienville was able to sway the opinions of the authorities to accept his choice. In April 1718, he landed a small party on the river's banks at a large bend that he called the "Beautiful Crescent", and began the process of building an improbable city on an improbable location.

Bienville served the colony he helped to found as governor during three terms: 1701-1712, 1717-1725, and 1732-1743. Bienville had many enemies in France, who constantly strove to scandalize his good name. With every failure of the new colony to produce a profit came blame to Bienville. He was once even imprisoned in France. The residents of the colony, however, remained loyal to their leader. Bienville remained devoted to the colony until his final recall to France in 1743. So important was Bienville even 20 years after his departure that when Louisiana was given to the Spanish in 1763, a delegation of colonists traveled to France to consult with him about ways to prevent this transfer from occurring. Alas, Bienville was too old and feeble, and no longer held a position of influence in the French government to help, though he commiserated with the Louisianians and shared their sadness at the loss. It must have been a great honor for the father of New Orleans, all those years following his final departure, to be paid this visit by representatives of the colony he founded. It must have been equally sad for him to have not been in a position to help them. After all, he had been only a young man of 19 when he began his service to Lousiana and he had spent over 4 decades in its service and in that of France.

Bienville died in France on 7 March 1767 at the age of 87. He is credited with the founding of 6 cities in what is now Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama; for securing the site of the city of New Orleans (as well as its founding); for exploring the Red River region as far north as Natchitoches; and for establishing friendly relations with the Indians of the lower Mississippi River valley. Few Europeans earned respect from these natives, but Bienville was remembered fondly by them long after his death. He is still remembered fondly by the people of northern Gulf coast. Though France never recognized it during his lifetime, Bienville was enormously successful in carrying out the duty he was sent to do. It would take the Americans to realize the successes of Lousiana begun by Bienville."5

Biography From the Gateway New Orleans website: "1680–1768, colonizer and governor of Louisiana, b. Ville Marie (on the site of Montreal), Canada; son of Charles le Moyne, sieur de Longueuil, and brother of Pierre le Moyne, sieur d'Iberville. A midshipman in the royal navy, he served gallantly in Iberville's last expedition into the Hudson Bay region in 1697 and the next year accompanied Iberville's colonizing expedition to the mouth of the Mississippi. He was prominent in the preliminary explorations. Iberville, upon his departure, left Bienville at the Biloxi settlement as second in command to the sieur de Sauvole, and in 1701, when Sauvole died, Bienville became the leader of the settlement.

He transferred the colony to Mobile Bay in 1702 and founded Mobile in 1710. After Iberville's death in 1706, only Bienville's heroic efforts kept the settlement alive in the face of famine, the hostility of Native Americans, the jealousy of Spain and Canada, and the neglect of France. In 1712, when Louisiana became a monopoly of the French merchant Antoine Crozat, Bienville was superseded as governor by Cadillac, but he regained his position in 1717. The colony grew rapidly in the next few years. New Orleans, which Bienville founded in 1718, succeeded Biloxi as Louisiana's capital in 1722. In 1719 he twice captured Pensacola from the Spanish. Fearing insurrections of black slaves, first brought to the colony under his direction, Bienville promulgated (1724) the Code Noir.

Its provisions, completely regulating slave life, were humane for the times, and the code remained in force until Louisiana became part of the United States. An unsuccessful campaign in 1723 against the Natchez, whom he had previously defeated (1716), led to his recall (1725).

Unsuccessful indefending his administration, he was relieved of the governorship. Upon Louisiana's subsequent decline, he was begged to return and was warmly received on his arrival in 1733. He led strenuous but indecisive expeditions (1736, 1739–40) against the Natchez and the Chickasaw. Worn out by his exertions, Bienville retired in 1743 and spent his remaining days in Paris."6
