Description
Simon R. Mirault appeared in Savannah around 1849, possibly earlier. He was a mulatto who probably brought this country from the West Indies, or more specifically from Santo Domingo. Simon was first employed as a pastry cook in 1849, later as a confectioner, and at the time of his death, as a cotton sampler. During this time he was in Savannah, he managed to accumulate a fair-sized estate. Simon R. Mirault died in 1875 at the approximate age of 60.
