Please See All Photos Paul Morphy Was The Scion Of Two Outstanding Creole Families. His Paternal Grandfather, Diego Morphy, Had Been Spanish Consul, First In Charleston And Then In New Orleans; His Maternal Grandfather, Joseph Le Carpentier, Commonly Called The "Double-Tongued," Was A Successful French Auctioneer. On The Condition That Le Carpentier Would Build A House Suitable For A Superb Bridal Residence And That His Daughter, The Beautiful Telcide, Should Be Provided With A Fantastic Dowry, Don Diego Gave His Consent To An Alliance Between Her And His Son Alonzo, A Promising Young Lawyer Destined To Become A Justice In The Supreme Court Of Louisiana.
