Mary was a slave described as a "Sambo" a domestic slave of Dr Titley of St Kitts/Nevis
Historically a Sambo is the child of a Negro and a Mullato, a Mullato is the child of a Negress and a White man.
The use of the word Sambo today (2000) in relation to a person of Negro descent is regarded as grossly offensive.
