Scipio Kennedy

Scipio Kennedy (c. 1694–1774) was a slave taken as a child from Guinea in West Africa. After being purchased at the age of five or six by Captain Andrew Douglas of Mains, he served as a slave under his daughter, Lady Jean, wife of Sir John, the 2nd Baronet Kennedy of Culzean in Ayrshire. He was granted a manumission (freedom from slavery) in 1725, but continued to work for the Kennedy family and was given land on the estate. He married in 1728 and had at least eight children. At least one living descendant is known from the West of Scotland and has published the story of his ancestor in a Scottish national newspaper.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.scottishheritagehub.com/content/case-study-searching-scipio )〕
==African slaves in Scotland==
The commercial success of the slave-worked plantations of the late seventeenth century led to a fashion for Scottish families of the gentry class to keep black African servants. Merchants importing goods from the Caribbean and Americas made regular contact with slave ships and some were "redeemed" (purchased) for domestic service.
Men and boys were more likely than women and girls to be taken into service, often in highly visible roles such as page boys or footmen. They might be given pet names, or names that sarcastically poked fun at their powerlessness, such as "Caesar".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.abdn.ac.uk/slavery/pdf/Topic7-LR2-SlaveryintheCaribbean.pdf )〕 Their lives were often much easier than that of their counterparts in the New World plantations, and they were often given an education so that they could read and write.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nts.org.uk/Learn/slave_trade_enslaved.php )〕 They were also expected to become Christians and therefore after their baptism, they became recognised as having a soul. By the end of the eighteenth century, they were seen as equal human beings under the law.
