More than likely, what type of people were held captive for slave labor at the Ducros Plantation?

Scipio Kennedy Scipio Kennedy (c. 1694–1774) was a slave taken as a child from Guinea in West Africa. After being purchased at the age of five or six by Captain Andrew Douglas of Mains, he served as a slave under his daughter, Lady Jean, wife of Sir John, the 2nd Baronet Kennedy of Culzean in Ayrshire. He was granted a manumission (freedom from slavery) in 1725, but continued to work for the Kennedy family and was given land on the estate. He married in 1728 and had at least eight children. At least one living descendant is known from the West of Scotland and has published the story of his ancestor in a Scottish national newspaper.
