Wikipedia description:

Médéric Louis Élie Moreau de Saint-Méry (13 January 1750 – 28 January 1819), son of Bertrand-Médéric and Marie-Rose Moreau de Saint-Méry, was born in Fort-Royale, Martinique. He was a lawyer and writer with a career in public office in France, Martinique, and Saint-Domingue (now the Republic of Haiti). He is best known for his publications on Saint Domingue and Martinique. He married into a well-positioned family, which allowed him to expand his connections in France and in time be elected as a member of the Parliament of France. Moreau was deeply involved in the founding of the Museum of Paris, of which he was later appointed president in 1787.
