Ninian Home (1732 - 1795), was a Scottish slave plantation owner and the Governor of Grenada during the Fédon Rebellion, a revolt against British rule led primarily by free mixed-race French-speakers that took place between 2 March 1795, and 19 June 1796.
From 1764 Home spent much of his time in Grenada where he owned two plantations which were manned by over 400 enslaved people growing coffee and cocoa.
On 3 March 1795, the second day of the revolt led by Julien Fédon, Governor Home was captured along with around 50 others and held hostage.
Most of the hostages, including Ninian Home, were executed by the rebels after a failed attack on their camp by the British.
[5] Ninian's brother, George Home of Wedderburn, succeeded to his Scottish and Grenadian estates upon his death.
