For the Anglican archdeacon, see James Swaby (priest).
James Swaby (14 January 1798 – 3 February 1863) was a Jamaican man of colour who was one of the first non-white commissioned officers in the British Army. He purchased a commission with the 49th Regiment of Foot[1] when aged 16, and served as an ensign on half pay from 1814[2] to 20 November 1829.[3]
He was the son of John Swaby and Frances King, "a free mulatto".[4] He was educated at Charterhouse School in England.
Swaby inherited substantial estates and became a wealthy planter and slave owner;[5] he owned "considerable property" in Manchester Parish, Jamaica. In 1823, he was granted "all the privileges ... of a British subject".[6] As a slave owner, he received compensation under the Slave Compensation Act 1837.[7]
