Jamaica
It was also discovered that Coromantee slaves in Kingston had elected a female Fante slave named Cubah (a British misnomer of the Fante day name “Akuba” or “Akua”) the rank of ‘Queen of Kingston’. Cubah (Akua) sat in state under a canopy at their meetings, wearing a robe and a crown.
It is unknown whether there was any direct communication between Cubah’s people and Tacky’s, but when discovered, she was ordered to be transported from the island for conspiracy to rebel.
Whilst at sea, she bribed the captain of the ship to put her ashore in western Jamaica where she joined the leeward rebels and remained at large for months. On being recaptured, she was executed.
