Acting executor |

|
|
1817 [EA] - 1821 [LA] → Joint owner
|
|
1817 [EA] - 1834 [LA] → Joint owner
Shown as co-owner, in fact one-third of the estate had belonged to his wife. NB see the entry for Robert Stewart of Ryton Grove for the derivation of this linkage. |
|
1817 [EA] - 1823 [LA] → Joint owner
|
|
1825 [EA] - 1825 [LA] → Heir
Under the will of her mother, Jane Mary Cosens was to inherit a one-third share in the Spring Valley estate in St Thomas-in-the-East subject to the interest of her aunt Jane Thomson for the latter's life or until she married: Jane Thomson married in 1825. Jane Mary Cosens does not appear among the claimants for slave-compensation for the estate in the 1830s, but her uncle by marriage Henry Bowyer Lane in 1832 gave some details of her borrowing from John Mackie & Co. against her share in the estate. |
|
1832 [EA] - 1832 [LA] → Mortgage Holder
In the will of Henry Bowyer Lane made in 1832, John Markie [almost certainly Mackie] was shown as having lent against the one-third of Spring Valley held by Jane Mary Cosens. |
