- 1727 [EY] → Joint owner
Pancefort Miller left one moiety of an estate 'at Morant' in his will proved in 1727 to his son (also Pancefort) who himself died an infant in 1727. The contingent remainder went first to Pancefort Miller's mother-in-law Mrs Frances Mitchell of Wimbledon, whose own will (again proved 1727) is silent on Jamaica property but did specify Col. Richard Thompson to be one of her pallbearers. Richard Thompson was later co-owner of the Morant estate. Pancefort Miller's estate inventory lists the enslaved people "Now on His Estate call. ed Stantons in the Parish of St. Thomas in the East." Miller's wife Jane seems to have come into this piece of land through Priscilla Stanton, a transaction already included in LBS (q.v.). This Stanton is likely the same piece of land that William Beckford later acquired, located near Morant Bay. |
