mmmm! so the mothers were those poor innocents taken in by the powerful landowners etc..................... don't envy your research !

My gg grand mother was Caroline Berenger Biggs or Cooper as she took her stepfathers name ............. she was illegitimate and I think she got the Berenger from some quicky toff who was probably the father..... as you say 'Prove it'

Well, the blood line that I am most interested in relates to the family of a seafaring gentleman nicknamed 'Black Dick' [I advise you not to Google that!] and there are reasonable grounds to suspect that a b........d line of this family led to where we are today....

But I doubt if I can ever prove it.

Me ............  ;) ;) ;) ;)

It is believed that Big Black Dick was born of 'Royal' African parentage before being kidnapped by French slavers who gave him the name of "Richard Le Noir". Unable to subdue his efforts to regain his freedom, his French captors, tossed Richard overboard near a Caribbean island, which may have been Grand Cayman Island.

Miraculously reaching land, he served for several years labouring in a sugar cane field where he learned the secrets of how to turn the sugar cane into the Caribbean's finest rum. His kindly Caymanian master recognizing his hard work and honesty awarded him his freedom in the early 1700's.

A free man and a skilled seaman, Dick tossed away his French name and became known as Big Black Dick. He soon earned the rank of captain of a three-masted-square rigger named "Caymanus". She was a ship carrying 20 cannons with a crew of near 200 men that were known as the best in the Caribbean.

History tells us that "Big Black Dick" was a dashing and handsome figure of a man, wearing a bright purple velvet coat and four pistols in his red silk sash. Those who knew him most immediately, know how much of a man he, indeed, was... possessing certain physical attributes unequalled by most 'all' other men of his gender.

After a successful career, Big Black Dick retired to a more peaceful venture of making the best original pirate rum in the Caribbean.
