Gabriel Debien.

Bulletin of the Society of Antiquaries of the West, 4th quarter 1977-4th series, Volume XIV; Extract - Gabriel Debien - A Poitevin millionaire in the Caribbean, Ragnos Louis (1734-1800).


Translation of first paragraph:
In the papers of JB Andrault, a settler from Saint-Sauvant, many times arises the question of Louis Ragnos. It was another Poitevin, also in Saint Domingue, his friend and correspondent. We do not see that profile there, but his face appears so alive, his career if different from that of ordinary colonial planters draws curiosity to that organized research. The man deserves at least a few words here.
