Thomas Neale-Caulker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Neale-Caulker (died 1898) was chief of Kagboro in Sierra Leone (1888–1898).[citation needed] He was killed during the Hut Tax War of 1898, in which he sided with the government and was reproached for his brutality.[1]
He was the son of Thomas Stephen Caulker, and a member of the Caulker family, descendants of Thomas Corker.[2][self-published source]
He was an opponent of the Poro, a secret society prevalent amongst the Mende people. A practicing Christian he said: "I believe the society will, in God's time, die out of our midst. It will not be by violence, but by the power of the gospel."[3] John Augustus Abayomi-Cole
