What is this?

1746
 

By the will of Joseph Young senior, deceased in 1745, Canewood [or Cane Wood] in St. Michael and St. Thomas passed to his son Joseph Young junior 'under certain conditions'. [Hughes-Queree do not have information about the conditions.] As the conditions were not met the plantation passed to Joseph Young’s daughter Margaret Ball, wife of George Ball.

George Ball bequeathed the plantation to William Moore (with possibly a mortgage to Edward Lascelles). This William Moore was presumably the father of William Moore, owner by 1817.
