304 SOME ACCOUNT or a 
fake of covering the honor of the mother, and of the fo- 
ciety in which fhe was a flave. ; 
The pyed mulatto boy is named Jean Pierre. He isa 
month younger than Adelaide; but from his figure, which 
is robuft, he appears to be fix months older. He as well 
as Adelaide both belong to Monf. le Vallois. He was born 
at Grandterre, Guadaloupe, of a negro wench named Ca- 
rolina and of a white man, an European, whofe name I 
did not learn. 
A certificate which Monf. le Vallois has with him, le- 
gally authenticated by Monf. Blin, lieutenant judge, given 
trom under the hand of Monf. des Effart, king’s phyfici- 
an, and of Monf. Cumin, king’s furgeon, at Grandterre, 
Guadaloupe, attefts that Adelaide was born at Gros-Iflet 
in St. Lucia, that Bridget her mother is a negro of the Ibo 
nation, and now reckoned to be about twenty-five years 
old, and that her father, whofe name is Raphael, is a ne- 
gro of the Mina nation. In this certificate it is farther 
declared that the father of Jean Pierre has white fpots 
(that is of a deeper white than his natural fkin) of the fame 
fhape and in the fame parts of the body as the fon, and 
that the mother and one of the brothers of this boy’s Eu- 
ropean father have like white fpots, and in the fame parts 
of the body. 
However it may be in refpec& to thofe obfervations-con- 
cerning the fuppofed refemblance of the white fpots they 
may bear about them, to thofe which mark Jean Pierre, 
it fuffices to take notice here, that his body is entirely of 
the colour of a mulatto, except that he has from nature a 
white aigrette in his forehead like that of Adelaide. The 
hair in that part is white mixed with black, which is not 
fo in Adelaide. The ftomach, and the legs from two inches 
above the ancles to the middle of the calf of the legs are 
entirely of a beautiful lively white ; there is alfo a white 
fpot in the upper part of the penis. Over the white ree
