BiographyHarry was an enslaved African on the Turners Hall sugar plantation in Barbados, who first appears in the records on 31 December 1759. He is described as having one arm; his arm was likely lost in an accident at the sugar cane grinding mill. In 1771 he was recorded as a plantain walk watchman. The name Popa/Pappa Harry suggests that he may have been enslaved in West Africa and trafficked via the Portuguese slave market at Little Popo (now Aneho, Benin), or Grand-Popo, Benin.
