Biography

Simone Brocard (1752 – d. after 1784), was a French slave trader of the French colony of Saint-Domingue. She has been referred to as the most well-documented free colored woman in Cap-Francais of her generation.

Brocard was a member of the free colored class in Saint-Domingue. She had two daughters with a white man, and appears to have belonged to the group of wealthy colored business women of the colony who had been a lover by placage to a white man, who left her with capital to start her own business after the termination of their relationship. In 1772, Brocard is noted to be an independent and rich businesswoman of note in the colony, and her business transactions are preserved to a large degree and the object of research. She was foremost a slave trader, whose main line of business was to buy and sell slaves from and to clients of the free colored class, mainly women.
