The will of John Richard Briggs shows him bequeathing this estate, and the services of the apprentices, implicitly as owner.

Notes

Owned by Richard Briggs (who also owned Aberly) in St Ann, mentioned in Briggs' will of 1838 and bequeathed to his brother Jonathan. Only named once in the almanacs (1826) but presumably included 1829-1833 in the registration for 'Aberley, etc.'. See JA1824 Aberly Plantation.
