Grave marker for former slave Scipio Kennedy at Kirkoswald Old Churchyard, Ayrshire, Scotland

Scipio Kennedy (c. 1694–1774) was a slave who was 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 worked as a slave under his daughter, Jean, wife of Sir John Kennedy, 2nd Baronet of Culzean in Ayrshire, Scotland. 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.^[1]^[2] He married in 1728 and had at least eight children.^[3] 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.^[4]
