At least one of them was of mixed ancestry; his mother was likely indigenous. He went by the name Thomas Mitif dit La Tulippe. Mitif was likely a misspelling of the term "métis" which is someone of mixed ancestry who was considered to be a free person of color. Thomas moved to Pointe Coupée and married Catherine Desmarets on 22 May 1762. In their marriage contract signed the day before their wedding, Thomas identified his parents as 'Claude Jouinau dit La Tulippe and Marie Jeanne' and was identified as a natural child which indicates that his parents were not married. He was also identified as a native of Illinois. Thomas was buried on 18 March 1764 at Pointe Coupée - less than two years after his marriage to Catherine. She remarried in 1765 to Jean Baptiste Saucier. Claude's other son was named after him - Claude Juneau dit La Tulippe.
