Whilst perusing the works of Haitian historians on Goman, the maroon, soldier, and leader who led what was essentially an independent state in Haiti's Sud for over a decade, we came across at least one descendant of his on Family Search. According to Madiou, Ardouin and other sources, Goman had a son, Lundi, who was pardoned by President Boyer. Indeed, the act was commemorated in a painting that, alas, has been lost. Interestingly, the entry of Boyer into Cap-Haitien after the fall of Christophe's regime in the Nord was also commemorated by a painting, perhaps showing how important the reunification of Haiti was for Boyer's administration. Anyway, in 1843, Lundi Goman's daughter, Margueritte, was born. One wonders how many other descendants of Goman were out there in Haiti during the late 1800s and, perhaps, today.
