François Gaury in 1793


Whilst perusing the digitized notariat for Saint Domingue (on Family Search), we came across yet another distant Gaury relative. This one was François Gaury, who in 1793, was a witness to a sale in Bainet. Like most of the Gaury we have so far found in the record, he was illiterate. 


We suspect this guy was the François Gaury born in 1738 to François Gaury and Marie-Françoise Saugrain. If so, he may have the oldest Gaury still around in 1793, although we need to check the baptismal records and death notices for the parish one more time to confirm.
