George William Nicol : ウィキペディア英語版 | George William Nicol
George William Nicol (1810-1884) was the first African Colonial Secretary of Sierra Leone and was one of few African senior level colonial officials in Freetown during the 19th century. Nicol belonged to the mulatto Settler class that exerted great influence in Freetown during the 19th century. ==Early Life and family== George William Nicol was born to George Nicol and Jane Small Nicol. George Nicol was a British carpenter who worked for the Sierra Leone Company during the 1790s. Jane Small was the mixed race daughter of Sophia Small, a wealthy Settler businesswoman who built the first two-story building in Freetown in 1796 (four years after the founding of Freetown in 1792). The Nicols were a prosperous family; after Sophia Small died, Jane Nicol inherited a substantial amount of her mother's property. After entering into business, George Nicol also invested and built property; two houses on Water Street and a brick house worth 3500 pounds east of the Government Wharf. Nicol along with his sisters inherited the property of their father who had died in 1823. In 1853, Nicol was the second largest property owner in Freetown with a valuable estate.
