An indenture of 04/11/1829 whereby J & A Smith of Glasgow took on the mortgage debt of William Stuart to Thomson and John Alexander Hankey of London gave the background in which by indentures of 01 and 02/09/1826 William Stuart and his wife Helen had mortgaged estates including Grand Ance and Mount Hardman (as well as Prospect and Hog Island) and the enslaved people attached to them and 'also all bulls, cows and other cattle, live and dead stock....' to Thomson Hankey and John Alexander Hankey for £18,500. In 1827 additional security was added including Helen Stuart's right to dower and the Morne Delice estate and the enslaved people attached to it. Under the 1829 deed, J&A Smith repaid the Hankey's mortgage.
