Notes

The name of William Heslop does not appear associated with Pimento Hill until the almanac of 1832 but he clearly increased his slave-ownership to such an extent that it seems likely he bought the land from the heirs of Charles Stewart when the estate was divided up amongst his heirs in the early 1820s. The slave register entries for Stewart's heirs Elizabeth, Mary, Sarah and Ann Stewart and Sarah Curtis are not large enough to involve an estate entry of their own and are included here to show the dispersal of the enslaved people previously owned by Charles Stewart. They may have been leased to the estate or settled elsewhere. The situation of the 25 enslaved people owned by William Heslop in 1817 is not clear.
