We do not know when the relationship between Georges and Anne began, but it was a love affair that spanned the Atlantic and continued until Georges's death in 1774. It is worth keeping in mind that being 'white' was a concept that was less than two decades old when Saint-Georges was born in 1745, and it is likely that public acceptance of the concept took some decades. As prosperous but naturalized and crypto-Protestant planters in the Catholic French Antilles, unwanted 'administrative' attention would have gone with the territory for the de Bolognes.  
The correlation between times of economic dislocation and the targeting of 'others' in the French Atlantic world was unmistakable. Having disrupted trade, the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748) was such a period. In addition, the Protestant German immigrant and illegitimate son of the elector of Saxony, Maurice de Saxe (Moritz von Sachsen), was raised to the highest military command in France and, amongst his notable additions to the French army were regiments composed of a diversity of soldiers of African and Arab descent. Voices of rabid opposition echoed from the French planters to the Ministry of Navy and Colonies in the very year that Georges and Anne welcomed the birth of their son. Brought up on trumped-up murder charges in December 1747, Georges was condemned to death by hanging and his property subjected to confiscation in May  
1748. He chose to flee Guadeloupe for metropolitan France before the sentence was handed down, but, in his absence, he was hanged in effigy.
