Toby Gilmore : ウィキペディア英語版 | Toby Gilmore Tobias "Toby" Gilmore (c. 1742/c. 1747April 19, 1812) was born in coastal West Africa as Shibodee Turrey Wurry, the son of a local chieftain. He was kidnapped at the age of sixteen by slave traders. Later he would regain his freedom by enlisting in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. ==Early life== About 1758 Shibodee Turrey Wurry was captured by slave traders while collecting coconuts, chained he was placed below deck on the slave ship (''Dove'' ). This ship bound for Virginia had to change course because it was damaged during a storm it sailed to Rhode Island instead. There he was auctioned off and purchased by Captain (nautical, not military) John Gilmore of Raynham Massachusetts. According to local legend John and his wife had no children of their own and renamed Shibodee to Toby Gilmore, teaching him to read and write.〔http://www.enterprisenews.com/lifestyle/x788045982/Raynham-made-notable-contributions-during-wartime-over-the-course-of-U-S-history〕 However this is proven to be untrue; the couple had several children, and it is unclear if Toby could read and write.〔
