Louis OURRY, born in Blois, † Paris 1699. Son of Jacques, apothicary and of
Marie Lepelletier. Married to Suzanne Guineau. Protestant. Made master in Paris. Established Quai Pelletier (1684).
His widow is recorded Quai des Orfèvres in the Ville de Blois where she carried on with her late husband's business. In December 1700, during the process of an inventory in her business premises, seventeen clocks were found to be in violation of the sumptuary edict.
Ourry used cases by André Charles Boulle and the président de Montholon was one of his customers.
