Sancho maybe Sanko of Port Loko - not Fothergill, Frederick and William

This Sancho put it to you - clearly stating – This Mandinka is not interested in the Sancho, kings of Portugal and Spain, Sancho of Latin speaking nations, Sancho Penza and Ignatius Sancho (1729-1780) and other European Sancho peoples. Those Sancho are not in the focus of this Sancho.
This Sancho made the determination - The research and documentation of the Sancho peoples of the Guyanese experience does not relate to the Sancho peoples of Europe. This Sancho have no interest in those Sancho people.
This Sancho request of you to cease and desist from informing Sancho respecting those and similar individuals.  The Legge sisters named Ignatius, their slave; Sancho. The Legge sisters were paying homage to the fictitious character, Sancho Penza.
The character, Sancho Penza originated out of the thought pattern of Miguel Cervantes Y Seevada.  Thus, the enslave African became known as Ignatius Sancho. How Ignatius Sancho acquired the name Charles is likely unknown. Probably it was a reference to his residence located at Charles Street, in Westminster.  I have no idea of the social history of Ignatius Sancho in its natural setting.
This Sancho also request Sancho honor the efforts made to reveal truths long hidden from Sancho.
This Sancho is referring to the misinformation. Perhaps, deliberately generated by the oral traditions of Sancho as told to this Sancho more than fifty years ago.  Most of all, this Sancho charges; it is high time Sancho people of Guyana eradicate the misinformation, which, has been handed down, saying, Sancho were not slaves in Guyana. It is quiet, naturally, upsetting to any rational thinking human being to imagine a free man would voluntarily migrate from his natural habitat, Sierra Leone and/or some other geo-political boundary in West Africa to the colony of Demerary where people of his ethnicity are in perpetual enslavement. Such a scenario simply defies all reasonable logic. This Sancho is referring to Sancho people. This Sancho is not referring Portuguese, East Indians, and Chinese who were tricked into abandoning their homelands for conditions of servitude. Also, to other Africans rescued from slave ships and accepting conditions of indentured laborers in British Guiana.  This Sancho is positive Sancho had to be caught sold, bought and forced from his homeland. What kind of idiot people take Sancho for – to accept such as handed down in the recent past? This Sancho will not waste time energy and money with Sancho who believes every fragment of accounts respecting Sancho people as was told by even their parents is absolute truth. 

Tell the children the truth
Sancho was not a free people on their arrival into the united colonies of Demerary and Essequebo, 1815-1819.  Sancho people were Porter’s property. Sancho people were enslaved at Plantation Enmore. Sancho people were not involved with Damon and his non-violent passive resistance demonstration on the Essequebo coast. Sancho are not Fothergill, Frederick and William. Sancho is very likely Sanko of Port Loko and Melikurie in Sierra Leone.  Before you can tell the truth; you first have to know the truth. You must be open-minded enough to realize your understanding may not be factual. Therefore, when truth – details have been uncovered you must realize that facts are facts and facts need no justification. All that is required is access to information and the revelations thereof …. A Luta Continua.
