Although probably of no relation to the Gaury we are currently obsessed with, it is interesting to see the name, spelled Gauri here, in nearby Leogane. Louis Gauri was a soldier in the 23rd half brigade and we only see the name of his mother here. However, it specifies that he was born in Baynet, and thus presumably from the area around L'Islet of Bainet. We assume he was probably young, perhaps born in the early 1800s or 1790s, when he passed away in 1822. The Gaury we're interested in, Anne Marie Joseph, appears to have been the one born in 1793 to a Victoire Gory and an unnamed father later revealed to have been Joseph. But one never knows, perhaps she knew this Louis or they were related in some other way. We also suspect the Jean Louis Gauri whose birth was registered in the 1825s in Bainet, a son of Marie Ursule Oriol and Jean Louis Gauri, was also possibly related to her.
