Notes

This estate has not yet been traced in the Slave Registers or the compensation records. It appears in the 1785 Deed Book for St Vincent, which traces its ownership by John Hunt, who lost control of the estate to his mortgagee William Snell 28/06/1775, and the sequential purchasing of the equity of redemption in the estate, first by Robert Wynne, then by John Bradshaw and finally by William Collins from Bradshaw's heir Thomas Bradshaw.
