Associated People (3)

The dates listed below have different categories as denoted by the letters in the brackets following each date. Here is a key to explain those letter codes:

  • SD - Association Start Date
  • SY - Association Start Year
  • EA - Earliest Known Association
  • ED - Association End Date
  • EY - Association End Year
  • LA - Latest Known Association
- 1786 [LA] → Owner
Thomas Nassau [also given as Nassau Thomas] Senior

In his will proved in 1786 Thomas Nassau Senior indicated he owned two estates known as Baldricks and Pool's in Barbados

1804 [EA] - 1804 [LA] → Owner
Rev. John Raven Senior

This is speculative on LBS' part. John R. Senior was shown as the owner of 57 enslaved people on an unnamed estate in an unnamed parish [probably St Andrew] in Barbados in 1804; his father Thomas Nassau Senior is known to have owned an estate named Pools in St Joseph and St Andrew; and the number of people on Pool estate in St Andrew in the 1817-26 Slave Registers was broadly consistent with the 1804 entry.

1823 [EA] - 1826 [LA] → Owner
William Adamson

Notes

This property might have earlier belonged to the Senior family: Thomas Nassua Senior and his son Rev. John Raven Senior (each of whom q.v.)
