"Nancy Gambier died a free black woman. She certainly earned it. Nancy was wet nurse and nanny to James, Lord Gambier of New Providence. James, Lord Gambier was born in New Providence, The Bahamas in 1756. He died in England on 19th April 1833. His father was the first Lord Gambier. The western New Providence area known as Gambier was named thus, undoubtedly because he once owned it. Nancy was born around 1720, in Africa and came to New Providence as a slave. By the time James Gambier came into the world, Nancy would have been in her thirties. As was customary, she took the last name of the slave master, hence the name Gambier. Born the second son of John Gambier, the Lieutenant Governor of the Bahamas and Bermudian Deborah Stiles.
