Who did Prince Abojevi Zahwenu /Robert Antoine marry?

We have conflicting reports whether or not he got legally married in Trinidad. Nevertheless, his wife’s African name was Devi, which means one born after a twin. She was from Savalu, an important town in north east Dahomey.  It’s believed she was captured in Savalu and travelled the long distance by foot with with other captured salves to the port of Ouidah to board the slave ship. Her English name was Eleanor Sam.
