About Scipio Benjamin

Legend has it that Scipio Benjamin was one of the prison guards that guarded Napoleon on St. Helena. Napoleon was exiled to St Helena in 1815, and died there in 1821. This would have made Scipio 5 at the time so seems unlikely that he would have guarded Napoleon!Perhaps it was his father? Any information to support this would be welcomed.
