I come across this photo from time and time on here, and there is simply nothing about it that looks like him; the clothes, everything is just off. Maybe it was a time he was really made up, or maybe it’s a mistaken identity?
Francis was born in Saint Lucia, to a French officer, Cherebin Cenac, from Agen, and an African woman. Mary Emilia was the daughter of Mary Budd.
