Whilst perusing Moreau de Saint-Méry's compilation, Loix et constitutions des colonies françoises de l'Amérique sous le Vent, we came across yet another Gaury from the early 18th century. Although there is probably no connection with the Gaury of Bainet and her race is not specified, the Marie Gaury who won a case against the father of her child could have been mixed-race. If so, and her roots lay in Saint-Christophe, perhaps she was a relative of the Gaury in Croix-des-Bouquet and Bainet.
