Jean Baptiste Nicaise's father and Mary Louise's grandfather, another old colonial pioneer family, had settled at Mobile in 1720. Philippe and Mary Louise most likely resided with her family after their marriage at Belle Fontaine Plantation, a huge 5,000 acre plantation located south of Mobile which was owned by Mary Louise's father Jean Baptiste Nicaise. Mary Louise and her siblings inherited the plantation after their mother's death in 1773 and along with her brothers sold it a few years later. The Nicaise family, along with Philippe and Mary Louise, then moved to Shieldsboro on the Mississippi coast, naming their new plantation, Belle Fontaine, after their former Mobile home.

S. Government and when the territory of West Florida was taken over by the U. S. Government he was appointed to represent the U. S. Government in the territory between the Pascagoula and Pearl Rivers as peace officer, and was in fact practically the law within that territory for many years. With his commission he was delivered a copy of the Federal Statues and also given the laws of the territory along with the flag of the United States and instructed to hold the territory for the Government". In 1809 Philippe helped the Spanish officials to survey what is today the Mississippi coastal area. Philippe Saucier, one of the few educated citizens of the area who could both read and write, was appointed as the first U. S. Justice in the Bay St. Louis, Mississippi area on January 8, 1811.

Mary Louise was the daughter of Jean Baptiste "Martial" Nicaise of Paris, France, a former French soldier stationed at the fort in Mobile, and Marie Miot, a native of Mobile. Jean Baptiste Nicaise's father and Mary Louise's grandfather, another old colonial pioneer family, had settled at Mobile in 1720. Philippe and Mary Louise most likely resided with her family after their marriage at Belle Fontaine Plantation, a huge 5,000 acre plantation located south of Mobile which was owned by Mary Louise's father Jean Baptiste Nicaise. Mary Louise and her siblings inherited the plantation after their mother's death in 1773 and along with her brothers sold it a few years later. The Nicaise family, along with Philippe and Mary Louise, then moved to Shieldsboro on the Mississippi coast, naming their new plantation, Belle Fontaine, after their former Mobile home. Philippe Saucier at this time owned all the land that makes up the present day city of Bay Saint Louis and part of the area surrounding the town. After moving from Mobile to Shieldsboro, they later moved to and made their home in Delisle, near Pass Christian, Mississippi. Philippe was granted a large area of land around the mouth of the Wolf River by the Spanish Government on July 6, 1794, claiming a total of 7.9 miles of land along the river where he built the family home. Mary Louise died in 1848; at the age of seventy-five, at Delisle in Hancock County, Mississippi. She passed away about twenty-eight years after Philippe's death.
In 1932, the local newspaper published a notice to Philippe's heirs from the Harrison County Court concerning Philippe's earlier land grant with the following comment at its conclusion, "It is interesting to note that this Phillip (Philippe) Saucier who acquired this grant, was an officer under the Spanish Government and when the territory was taken over by the U. S. Government and when the territory of West Florida was taken over by the U. S. Government he was appointed to represent the U. S. Government in the territory between the Pascagoula and Pearl Rivers as peace officer, and was in fact practically the law within that territory for many years. With his commission he was delivered a copy of the Federal Statues and also given the laws of the territory along with the flag of the United States and instructed to hold the territory for the Government". In 1809 Philippe helped the Spanish officials to survey what is today the Mississippi coastal area. Philippe Saucier, one of the few educated citizens of the area who could both read and write, was appointed as the first U. S. Justice in the Bay St. Louis, Mississippi area on January 8, 1811.

The Lizana, Toulme, Lasabbe, Cassibry and some Dedeaux families, all are descended from Philippe Saucier and Marie Louise Nicaise through the marriages of their daughters, who left a broad heritage along the Mississippi Gulf Coast in Hancock and Harrison Counties. After their first child died at birth, they raised their nine surviving children in Delisle. The surviving children born during their thirty-six years of marriage were, Mary Magdeline, Eugenie, Jean Phillipe, Marie Louise, Victoria Uranie, Lucille, Basalice, Jacques and Pierre Saucier. Philippe lived into 1820, seeing his family prosperous and expanding, his sons-in-law were prosperous coast merchants, Toulme and Cassibry at sea, Dedeaux and Lizana on land.

Their descendants are scattered throughout Mississippi and other states today.
