Monteros

[Name] Monteyros [sic]  

Close Roll 25 Geo. II Part 4 No. 7. Indenture 01/11/1751 between John Watkins of Brampton near Huntingdon, son of Hon. Samuel Watkins, formerly Chief Justice Antigua, and Walter Tullideph (q.v.) and Charles Alexander now of Great Britain but late of Antigua, Capt.in H.M.'s Regiment of Foot. The indenture rehearses the will of Samuel Watkins of 04/04/1743, by which he left Monteyros (which had been leased to John Watkins of Antigua) to his son John Watkins of Brampton, and conveyed the estate to Tullideph and Alexander in return for their advances to date, a life-interest for John Watkins and annuities after his death for his children (of whom he then had two). Further indentures of 1755 between Watkins, Tullideph and Christopher Baldwin of Antigua modified the agreement and gave Charles Alexander priority through a term of 100 years to receive the rents until he was repaid, after John Watkins had incurred considerable debts in Britain and was under financial pressure from creditors and had proposed to break the entail. Charles Alexander was or became John Watkins' step-father through his marriage to Margaret, the widow of the Hon. Samuel Watkins and the mother of John Watkins. .
