Early life Little is known about Juliette's early life. She was born into
slavery in the former French colony of Haiti in the year 1786. The Noel family came to
Baltimore with their slave owners at some point during the
Haitian Revolution. There she labored as a housemaid, assistant cook and
nanny.
Marriage and family In the wake of the Haitian Revolution,
Pierre Toussaint's master went into exile in New York City with him, granting them the opportunity to meet one another. Juliette was 20 years younger than him. While still working for her master, Pierre saved enough money to purchase her freedom.
Later years On May 14, 1851, Juliette died of natural causes. Two years later, Pierre Toussaint died on June 30, 1853. They were buried alongside Euphemia in the cemetery of
St. Patrick's Old Cathedral. ==References==
