Claude Fournier l'Hritier, dit l'Amricain cause de son long sjour Saint-Domingue, naquit Auzon (Haute-Loire), le 21 dcembre 1745[1]. Il tait fils d'un tisserand. Vers l'ge de quinze ans[2], il alla chercher fortune aux colonies et passa vingt et une annes Saint-Domingue. Il dit y avoir servi pendant seize ans dans les dragons des milices bourgeoises. Il y fonda une guildiverie, ou fabrique de tafia, qui, dit-il, prospra; mais, elle fut dtruite par un incendie que Fournier attribua la malveillance de ses voisins. Ruin, il revint en France pour demander justice et harcela les ministres de ses placets.
