Recently on September 5, 2015, Olivier Martelly, the son of Haitian President Michel Martelly was noticed arriving at Montigo Bay airport in Jamaica accompanying his father who came to attend PetroCaribe conference in the city.

Dutty Boukman (Boukman Dutty), a self-educated Haitian slave born in Jamaica
He was one of the most visible early leaders of the Haitian Revolution who conducted the "Bois Caïman" religious ceremony in which a freedom covenant was affirmed, a catalyst to the slave uprising that marked the beginning of the Haïtian Revolution.
Boukman was killed by the French in November, just a few months after the beginning of the uprising. The French then publicly displayed Boukman's head in an attempt to dispel the aura of invincibility that Boukman had cultivated.
