Grace Nibbs of Antigua (née Hodge)

The heirs of Grace Nibbs were registered as owners in 1817 and 1820. Grace Nibbs of Antigua's own will details some of the background to her family's ownership.

John Henry Earle Berkeley

'John Berkeley of Grenada' is shown as purchasing the enslaved people on Pagoa c. 1820 and shipping them to Grenada. This is inferred to be John Henry Earle Berkeley (q.v.) whose Paradise estate on Grenada shows an equivalent rise in the number of enslaved people on it around the same time.
