Jean Baptiste Lamarck had eight children and three different wives. His first wife, Marie Rosalie Delaporte gave birth to six of his kids before she died in 1792. They did not get married until she was dying. His second wife, Charlotte Victoire Reverdy gave birth to two children, but died two years after they were married. His third wife, Julie Mallet, died in 1819.

His daughters took care of him on his deathbed and were left poor. Only one living son was making a good living as an engineer and had children whenever of Lamarck died.
Jean Baptiste Lamarck was born on August 1, 1744, in the village of Bazentin-le-Petit in France. He was the youngest of eleven children in a family with a tradition of military service; his father and several of his brothers were soldiers. He served in the military during the Seven Years War and, at the age of only 17, was awarded for bravery for his actions on the battlefield. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck became the Chevalier de Lamarck, or Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, the name he was known by. Later, when Lamarck retired injured, he took natural history. He first studied botany under the naturalist Bernard de Jussieu. The product of this ten-year period of research was Lamarck's Flore françoise, a book on the plant life of France that brought its author into the front rank of French naturalists.
