A brief history of Alexander Grant's involvement in the Papine estate is given in Suzanne Francis Brown, Mona Past and Present: The History and Heritage of the Mona Campus (UWI, 2004) p. 11, which shows him transferring the estate to William Jackson in 1774.

1796 [EA] - 1816 [LA] → Owner

Although the Accounts Produce show 'heirs of James Wildman' for 1796, this appears to be erroneous.

1817 [EA] - 1839 [LA] → Owner
