The Jacmel garrison reaches the Girard habitation

Haitian

On 14 March 1800, after the evacuation of that town, a portion of the garrison, lost in the woods, arrived at the Girard habitation, where at last it met friendly mountaineers commanded by a man named Figaro. It halted there to await news of Pétion. The troops of Jacmel had evacuated the town to the number of 1,400 men. When they found themselves all assembled at Girard, they were reduced to 600.

Rouzier tells this under the entry Girard.
