Sait Matty Bah is the son of Maba Diahu Bah. He was brought to bakau by his father so as to save him from the French. Sait Matty was not fighting whilst in the Gambia.
Dr. Florence Mahoney wrote: "... In 1887, for instance, when Sait Matte attacked the "bur" of Sine, like his father had done twenty years before, the French intervened, and routed his army, and chased him to the banks of the River gambia. Sait Mattee had to cross the River and seek refuge in Bathurst with a larg number of muslim supporters. the Governor kept him in Bathurst as a political prisoner till plans were made for him to be located with his people in Bakau, where he died some years later."
Mabah is said to be killed on 18th July 1867 and "was succedded by his brother Mahmoud N'Dare Bah, until Mabah's own son, sait Matee bah should come of age".

Thanks Momodou for the research. in Gunjur there are Janneh, Touray and Darboe. from these you have the imam,alkaliship and sefou.Gunjur is an old village from which many marabouts/scholars/clerics have come, passed through and lived. Omar Futio(Alh.Omar Taal), E.Silla, Bun Jeng etc
the thing is today many names will simply fade, because very few care to do the necessary research.
if you think Kombo Silla Drive is bad enough, take Mamadi Manjang Highway from Banjul. the real name of the highway is Mamadi Manyang Highway not Manjang. Mamadi Manjang doesnt/never existed!!!!!
the alkaliship of Jeswang is with the family from which Mamadi Manyang Ceesay came from. his surname was Ceesay and the Manyang was his mother's name as you put it to distinguish him.
you will find companies, incorporated bodies, government agencies giving their address as XXX Mamadi Manjang Highway?
e.g

Njucks,
Mamadi Manyang is the man who setteled my greatgrand mothers in family when they crossed the rever from Senegal to Banjul. According to the narration from a senior causin who passed away. The elders were taking refeug with the children during the French resistance. If you go to Hagan Street today from no.61 A?B no64 and 65 . Infact even in New Street the Njie's of the former IG are also of the same family. Another one is Dr. Samba the former Who director of Africa even part of the the late IG Mboob's related to those of 65 Hagan. I think I mentioned it before.

The succession patteren is true. check my earlier posting listing when each ruled. Sait, ruled for only two years 1885 to 1887 whilst Mani N'dare ruled 1867 to 1885 and Maba ruled from 1861 to 1867. |
