BiographySicceah was an enslaved African on the Turners Hall sugar plantation in Barbados, who first appears in the records on 31 December 1759. In the 1771 list there is a Sickea and a Great Sickea working in the great gang. The people in the great gang would be between about 18 and 30 years old, and did the hardest labour in the fields. It is assumed that this Sicceah, who was an adult in 1759, would have been known as Great Sickea to distinguish her from the other, younger Sickea, who was a child in 1759.
