<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">Raymond Caillavet (1838-1898) called "Medeaux" was born at Biloxi in 1838.&nbsp; He was the eldest son of Francois Caillavet (1815-1883), a carpenter, and Euranie Fayard (1818-1895).&nbsp; Raymond Caillavet was the grandson of Louis Arbeau Caillavet (1793-1860), a native of the Opelousas Post, Louisiana and Marguerite Fayard (1787-1863) of Biloxi.&nbsp; Louis A. Caillavet was baptized on March 31, 1793, with Louis Carriere and Marie Despaux standing as his godparents.&nbsp; L.A. Caillavet's father, Symphroen Caillavet (1746-1806), was born at Bordeaux, France.&nbsp; His mother was Marie Rose Carriere (1766-c. 1855), a native of New Orleans.</span></span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">The Caillavet family at Biloxi was well respected.&nbsp; Louis A. Caillavet, the progenitor of the family here, had arrived in 1809, from Opelousas, Louisiana.&nbsp; His mother, Rose Carriere and brother, Adolph Caillavet (c. 1803-1842) joined him at Biloxi later .&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif; font-size:14px">L.A. Caillavet (1793-1860) married Marguerite Fayard (1787-1863) circa 1811.&nbsp; She was the daughter of Jean Baptist Fayard, Jr. (1752-1816) and Angelique Ladner (1753-1830).&nbsp; These families are among the oldest at Biloxi.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">L.A. Caillavet was fluent in the French and English languages and acted as an agent-interpreter and representative to wealthy Creole families from New Orleans as well as his neighbors in land and legal matters.&nbsp; He was often called as a witness in Probate (Chancery) Court matters and his depositions in several court cases reveal something about his life.&nbsp; From Nap Cassibry's excellent two volume series,&nbsp;<strong>Early Settlers and Land Grants at Biloxi</strong>, the following has been extracted concerning L.A. Caillavet:</span></span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">1.&nbsp; was in Biloxi in 1809 and no later than 1812.</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">2.&nbsp; sometimes he was the only one in Biloxi who could write.</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">4.&nbsp; he was blind by 1848.</span></span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif; font-size:14px">L.A. Caillavet acquired much land on the Mississippi coast.&nbsp; In February 1837, he received a U.S. Government land patent on 71.85 acres at Jackson County, Mississippi described as Lot 1 of Section 32 T7S-R8W.&nbsp; It comprised the NE/4 and SE/4 of the NE/4 of that section.&nbsp; This land&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif; font-size:14px">is located on the beach front at east Ocean Springs west of Halstead Road.&nbsp; Louis A. Caillavet was elected treasurer of the Harrison County Board of Police (Board of Supervisors) for the term 1841-1843.(JXCO, Ms. Land Deed Bk. 96, pp. 325-326)</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">As a young man, Raymond Caillavet took the call of the Confederate cause and joined Company E (Biloxi Rifles), 3rd Mississippi Infantry, C.S.A.&nbsp; He served as a private.&nbsp; The Biloxi Rifles were mustered into State service on May 21, 1861, at Jackson, and Confederate service at Shieldsboro (Bay St. Louis) on October 5, 1861.&nbsp; They were originally expected to be sent to Virginia, but Governor Pettus thought they would be better utilized as a home guard protecting the Mississippi Coast from Union excursions.</span></span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">Young Caillavet must have left the Coast during the Civil War for New Orleans.&nbsp; Here he met and married Celina Joucheray (1841-1903) circa 1864.&nbsp; Their first two children were born at New Orleans.&nbsp; They returned to Biloxi for birth of their third child in 1869.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
