Notes

A sugar estate in St Ann, Whitehall appears in the Accounts Produce for 1806-7 for the heirs of Francis McDermot Esquire deceased. Presumably home to the 100 enslaved people in the possession of Francis McDermot in 1792. Later in the possession of George Fletcher Coward, according to the almanacs. Possibly combined with Islington estate in the slave registers.
