1820 [EA] - 1820 [LA] → Owner
William Pagan of Linburn

William Pagan sold enslaved people on two other estates (Mitcham and Gratton) c.1820 and the people consolidated on the Geneva estate of James Potter Lockhart: as Nelsons Rest disappears from the Slave Registers after 1820, it seems likely that the enslaved people on this estate were also sold.

1820 [EA] - 1820 [LA] → Attorney
Charles Court
