Jean-Louis Annecy

Jean-Louis Annecy ( 1758 – 1807) was a French deputy who was a victim of the deportation of Guadeloupeans and Haïtians in Corsica by Napoleon Bonaparte.

He was elected to the Council of Ancients on 17 April 1797. no arrest warrant was issued against him. He was therefore able to return to Saint-Domingue.

In 1802, during the Saint-Domingue expedition sent by Bonaparte to Saint-Domingue to restore the authority of the mother country and slavery, General Leclerc deported Annecy to the prison in Ajaccio, Corsica.

He was then transferred to the island of Elba, near Corsica, and placed under house arrest, where he died in 1807 at the age of 49.
