Richard Pierpoint
Richard Pierpoint (Bundul c. 1744 - Canada c. 1837), also known as Black Dick and Captain Dick, was born about 1744 in Bundu in what is now Senegal. When he was about sixteen he was captured and sold as a slave. He survived the crossing of the Atlantic and was sold to a British officer named Pierpoint, probably in one of the northern British colonies.〔(Black History in Guelph and Wellington County )〕 Richard Pierpoint would have acted as his personal servant.〔
==Butler's Rangers==
In 1776, with the outbreak of the American Revolution, many African American slaves were offered freedom on the condition that they fought on the side of the British. By at least 1780 Pierpoint was one of about a dozen Africans fighting with the Butler's Rangers regiment. Some members of the regiment were former black slaves, which enlisted blacks only as non-combatant labourers or sappers. The total number of black soldiers in Butler's Rangers is unknown, although Pierpoint is the only one who enters into the historical record.
