1767-Jan.-07: The colonial gazette published a list of people who had escaped captivity, including Jacques, a Congo man from the Mageau estate, and Martin, a Tiamba man branded with an “M.” The list also featured Florentine, a Mina woman branded “BAILLY,” and Augustin, a 24-year-old Creole from the Saint-Martin plantation. These notices often included the physical descriptions, brands, and ethnicities of the fugitives to assist in their capture. Marronnage remained a persistent and pervasive form of resistance that challenged the legal and physical control of enslavers.
