King Tom was the Temne ruler of the land where the Province of Freedom, Sierra Leone was first located.[1]
He was described by John C. Lettsome as "a very fine fellow, so far as dress goes, for he generally has variegated bright colours; his hat is immensely large, and the whole flap covered with gold lace, of which he is very proud. His palace is, however equal to a hut."[2]
Lettsome also stated that he was at one time father-in-law of Henry Smeathman.[3]
