Biography
He was a plantation owner on St. Domingue. This seems to have been in the area of L'Arcahaye, outside of Port au Prince, since his children's birth records appear in the L'Arcahaye parish register. The parish records say that the family lives on Montagne Terrible, just outside of town.
Domingino gives the name “Tanguy” as a family connection, and gives the family’s place of origin as Plédran.
The name is sometimes Desportes-Mahé.
Another perhaps related name is in the area, Delaunay Mahé, that appears in parish records (as godparents) as early as 1773. They also appear as plantation owners in Domingino.
Note that his "daughter" Charlotte's connection to him is NOT proven; it's merely probable.
On the same day that their son Henry Jean Joseph was bapitized two other related baptisms happen: Jean Charles Mahé, son of Charles Mahé and Louise le Fevre; and Pierre Jean Eugene, son of Sieur Pierre Joseph Denys and Catherine Adelaide Desportes. Both are also residents of Montagne Terrible. They were also sponsors at the marriage of Pierre Gogniet and Marie Jeanne Esnard.
This record also appears in the NOLA death records; she may be a child:
Desportes, Rose Benedictine . . . 70 yrs, F . . . 11/27/1876 . . . vol. 67, page 640 [1, 4, 5]
