[Name] Morne Agaron in Wallibo  
[Size] 712  

In a deed of 02/04/1810, Thomas Etherington of Gerrard Street and William Allenby the trustees under the will of George Etherington conveyed an estate named as Morne Agaron to Richard William Forbes and J.A. Rucker in trust. The deed set out the background whereby George Etherington was in 1780 granted land in the district of Wallibo that was converted into the Morne Agaron estate, leased in 1787 for 19 years to Charles and James Grant. In 1803 Etherington mortgaged the estate to John Collins of Berners Street for £10,000, and defaulted, allowing Collins to assume the estate as mortgagee-in-possession. In 1806 George Etherington took out a second mortgage on the estate from Thomas Etherington for £3400, and on his death in 1809 left his equity of redemption in the estate in trust (his trustees were Thomas Etherington and John Findlater). After the replacement of John Findlater by William Allenby, the trustees sold the estate subject to the mortgages to Daniel Henry Rucker.
