Toussaint L'ouverture
Most sources tell us that Toussaint L’Ouverture was born on the plantation of Bréda at Haute de Cap in Saint Domingue.  His birthdate is unknown.  All Saints' Day is likely, because his name "Toussaint" means "all saints'" in French.  When the Haitian Revolution started he was probably about 50 years old. Different sources give birth dates from 1739 until 1746. When he was a child he was small and weak. But as an adult he was known by his great stamina and horse-riding skills.
