Abstract/Description
In 1799 a white, West Indian born, John Ford recorded the narratives of Sibell and Ashy, two enslaved women in Barbados. They were reproduced by Jerome S. Handler nearly 200 years later in his 1998 article "Life Histories of Enslaved Africans in Barbados". Although usually shared as a pair, this is the narrative of Ashy. Sibell's can also be found in the archive.
