message: Cúchullain: Anna was my great-great-great-great grandmother, so I have a very personal stake in her story. Anna was NOT Senegalese; the nation of Senegal did not exist until the 20th C. Anna (Anta) was a woman of Jolof, most likely a "princess" of the "Kingdom" Jolof. I believe it is wrong (anachronistic) to categorize her as Senegalese, as wrong as saying that Athahualpa was Peruvian, or that Chief Seattle was a from the United States.
:The problem with that is that it's not indisputable that she was a princess (or even Jolof). That's based on convincing but secondary evidence. For the intro we should stick with what is indisputable, which is that she was from what is now from Senegal. Perhaps we could reword it, how about something like "Anna Kingsley was a slave turned slaveholder and plantation owner from what is now Senegal?"--Cúchullain t/c 22:48, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I substituted "West African" for "Senegalese"; as that part is uncontroversial, as are her activities when she got to the Americas. I think we ought to rewrite some of what's there about her life in Africa to reflect what grounds there are for thinking she's a princess. I have Schafer's book, I'll try to work on this.--Cúchullain t/c 17:10, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I have reverted the recent blanket change to the article. While a lot of good was done, I think overall it chopped up sentences and paragraphs and made it much less readable. I'll go back through and see what can be kept.--Cúchullain t/c 14:23, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Changed "Kingsley's unique family" to "Kingsley's unusual family".  Unique means "one and only".  There were numerous other white men married to African women in East Florida, with multiracial children; there were other white men in polygamous marriages, there were other free blacks who owned slaves, so his family was not unique.Parkwells (talk) 13:35, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
