Notes

Conveyance June 1814 of one moiety of the Dawn coffee estate with 67 enslaved people in the parish of St Luke, Dominica, from James Johnstone Esq. and Sarah Johnstone his wife to The Hon. William Bremner for £1200 currency cash and £2800 to be paid in instalments. The conveyance recapitulated the sale in 1805 by Robert Augustus Hyndman of The Dawn (late of Adrien Adenet Pion) to James Johnstone and Hon. William Bremner for £4000 currency in cash and £11,500 to be paid in instalments. The Dawn has not been further traced: it was described in the indenture as bounded Easterly by the Aberdeen estate, and it appears that it was possibly absorbed into Aberdeen.
