The West Yorkshire Archive Service at Bradford Library has been reported as holding the will of Mary Skelton late of Little Horton, in which 'in 1823' she left her her "three fourth part share" of the Yorkshire Hall plantation in Demerara to her three sons including "all the negroes and slaves which may, at the time of my decease, be resident or belong to the said plantation." http://www.bbc.co.uk/bradford/content/articles/2007/02/26/slavery_west_yorkshire_feature.shtml" [accessed 18/05/2017] The will dated 1822 is included on the West Yorkshire Archive Service catalogue but to date the contents of the will have not been verified.
