What is this?

1801
[Name] Tarrow [sic]  
 

Papers (1795-1801) relating to the Tarrow [sic] sugar plantation on Dominica were exhibited in the Chancery suit of Haddock v Thomlinson, C 111/212. The revival of this suit in 1822 identified Martha Haddock and John Thomlinson as the parties, C 13/780/14. Martha Haddock of Chelsea widow was described as a lunatic in 1802, when an advertisement for her next of kin was placed, London Gazette 15456 23 February 1802 p. 209; the will of Thomas Haddock of St Lukes Chelsea proved in 1799 [PROB 11/1317/13] showed his wife as Martha and his executor as John Thomlinson of Staple Inn. To date, the connection of these parties to the Tarrau estate and the enslaved people attached to it has not been traced by LBS.
