1) Jean Chauviteau m. Solancine GUENET (daughter of Sophie Chauviteau and Antoine Guenet)

In 1797 Jean-Joseph went to Cuba and became a business partner of his brothers-in-law, Simon and Juan Andrés Poey y Lacasse and Francisco Hernandez, who were responsible for importing slaves into Cuba. At the time, Cubans like Francisco de Arango y Parreño (1765-1837) tried to convince Europeans like Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) that they were the most humane of all slaveholders because they enabled their slaves to purchase freedom. Humboldt disagreed.
