John Bowen Colthurst and Woodville K. Marshall, The Colthurst journal: journal of a special magistrate in the islands of Barbados and St. Vincent, July 1835-September 1838 (New York, KTO Press, 1977), pp. 106-7: the Pine Plantation was purchased two years ago 'by the present proprietor who resides on the island.' 'The former owner got himself in extreme difficulties'; an attorney and manager was appointed by the 'late purchaser' at beginning of Apprenticeship.

Kathleen Mary Butler, The Economics of Emancipation: Jamaica and Barbados 1823-1843 (Chapel Hill and London, University of North Carolina Press, 1995) p. 82: Bezsin King Reece bought the estate in 1838 [sic], for £7,800.  It carried mortgages of £14,685 from Thomas and John Daniel, but 'because these ranked 5th and 7th amongst the liens against the estate, the partners recovered only 31% of their claim.'
