Hilario, described as a “Guinea Negro,” was taken to Cloutierville as the property of a planter named Langlois. It is unclear when Hilario met Jeanne, an enslaved woman owned by Emmanuel Prud’homme, but they had a son in 1809 named Hilaire. On December 7, 1809 Hilaire was baptized along with twenty-two other enslaved people. Because Hilaire’s mother, Jeanne, belonged to Emmanuel Prud’homme, Hilaire was most likely born on Oakland.
