He was the son of Joseph Noisette, who served as the gardener for the Count of Provence, future Louis XVIII. Louis Claude had two brothers: Antoine Noisette, born in Torcy, France, in 1778, who passed away in Nantes, France, in 1858; and Philippe Noisette, born in Paris in 1773, who died in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1835. They were both frequent gardeners, with Antoine overseeing the botanical garden at Nantes.
