Antoine Jacques Philippe de Marigny de Mandeville, (also known as Antoine James de Marigny and "Mandeville" de Marigny), was the son of Bernard de Marigny de Mandeville and Anna Mathilde Morales, and the son-in-law of William C. C. Claiborne, the first Governor of Louisiana after statehood. He was a planter, merchant, military officer, and U.S. Marshal for eastern Louisiana.
As a young man, he attended the Academy of St. Cyr and the Royal Cavalry School at Saumur in the 1830s, before serving two to three years in the French Cavalry. In New Orleans, he married Sophronie Louise Claiborne.
During the Civil War, Mandeville Marigny was a colonel in the 10th Louisiana Infantry ("French Brigade, French Legion") and served in two Virginia campaigns.
He resided for much of his life in St. Tammany Parish, on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, possibly in the Lewisburg community. A brickyard business near the Tchefuncte River was one of his enterprises.
Mandeville and Sophronie Marigny went their separate ways during the mid-1800s. On the 1870 U.S. Census, his wife is listed as "Selina, age 50."

NOTE ADDED IN APRIL 2017: The above information was compiled and edited in conjunction with editing his Wikipedia article [see also the French-language version] and consulting various sources over time.
There are presently-existing discrepancies about his name, including in the [c. 1988?] Dictionary of Louisiana Biography, which shows his name as similar to his father's name:

In the past I've noticed another name variant, associated with a caption for his portrait at La. State Museum in New Orleans. This may be the source for a name used by the chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution located in Mandeville or St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana.
My comments are rather anecdotal. Feel free to email me if you are a scholar, a Marigny family descendant, or can otherwise shed any light on the confusion here. :)
