Richard Pierpoint (Bundul c. 1744 – Canada c. 1837) also known as Black Dick and Captain Dick was born about 1744 in Bundu in what is now Senegal. When he was about sixteen he was captured and sold as a slave. He survived the crossing of the Atlantic and was sold to a British officer named Pierpoint probably in one of the northern British colonies. Richard Pierpoint would have acted as his personal servant.
