Haitian

Desruisseaux (André-Louis Renaud) was born at Fonds-Parisien on 12 November 1767, on the plantation that bore his name. His father, a free *mulâtre*, was named François Renaud; his mother, a free *quarteronne*, Marie-Louise Frère, widow of Noël Beaugé, had married for the second time. Desruisseaux himself married Mademoiselle Marie-Simoine Desmares, daughter of Jean-François Desmares, whose story we saw at the beginning of the 1st volume. Desruisseaux died at the age of thirty-three years, six months and two days.
