Mingo, an African American man residing in Chowan Precinct, North Carolina, was enslaved by Nicholas Crisp. Mingo's name may have been a shortened form of the Spanish name Domingo, meaning a boy born on a Sunday in the Akan day naming tradition. One night in early 1720, Mingo interacted with another enslaved man, Sambo, while he made preparations to leave Crisp's property with the help of Cush, an African American man enslaved by Paul Palmer. Mingo later made a deposition regarding what he had observed that night. In 1725 when Nicholas Crisp granted several enslaved people to his son John upon John's marriage to Elizabeth Sanderson, Crisp pointedly did not give them Mingo. Crisp reportedly stated as justification for this decision that "Mingoe is a great rogue." Crisp died in 1728 and did not mention Mingo by name in his will. Any further records regarding this individual have not been located.
