About Priscilla's LegacyIn 1756, a ten year old girl was kidnapped in Sierra Leone. As cargo on an America slave ship, she endured a treacherous, 10 week, voyage across the Atlantic to Charleston. Elias Ball, the owner of Comingtee Plantation, purchased the child. For the next 55 years she worked in the rice fields of South Carolina. This brave little girl was given an English name - Priscilla. Today, Thomalind Martin-Polite - Priscilla's 7th generation granddaughter - is ready to tell her story.
