Biography

Christophe Dominick Duminy de Glapion, also known as "Louis Christope Dominick Duminy de Glapion," (Date of birth unknown - c.1855)) was the plaçage husband of the famed Louisiana Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau. He was a white man of noble French descent. They began their relationship sometime before 1826, after the death of LaVeau's first, legal husband, Jacques Paris, who disappeared (and was presumed dead) not long after their marriage. de Glapion fathered seven children with LaVeau, but only two of these, Marie Heloïse Euchariste Glapion (born in 1827) and Marie Philomène Glapion (born in 1836) survived into adulthood. The youngest became Laveau's successor, the also-famed Marie LaVeau ll.

The Laveau-Glapion family lived in the original French section of the New Orleans, now known as the Vieux Carré or French Quarter, in a cottage on St. Ann Street between Rampart and Burgundy. It was built around 1798 by Marie's grandmother, Catherine Henry, but after they moved in the property became legally owned by de Glapion. After his death, the family was heavily in debt, rumored to be so because of de Glapion's unwise business speculations.The St. Ann Street property was seized, but LaVeau, her daughters and her grandchildren were allowed to remain in residence when a kind friend bought the house.
