Person Quashey (fl 1759); enslaved boiler on the Turners Hall plantation TH004 Quashey fl 1759 enslaved boiler on the Turners Hall plantation Male African Barbados Quashey was an enslaved African on the Turners Hall sugar plantation in Barbados, who first appears in the records on 31 December 1759 as a boiler. This was a highly skilled job which involved judging the thickness of the boiling sugar cane juice to decide when it should pass to the next stage of boiling and when it was ready to set as sugar. His name is a West African day-name traditionally given to boys born on a Sunday. He does not appear on the list of December 1771, so probably died before then.
