What is this?

1776
 

1776 Several Chancery Court sales of land of Cogan’s plantation in St. Andrew (situated between Walkers and Haggatt’s plantations). All these parcels of land bought by William Haggatt. In 1777 there was an assignment of mortgage to David Parris, merchant of Bristol, England but by then in Barbados: £4000 sterling secured on Morris’ plantation.

1779
 

1779: the Will of William Haggatt of St. Andrew, presumably a direct descendant of the Rev. Wm. Haggatt, bequeathed Morris’ plantation to his nephew, William Haggatt Mellowes, a minor, with the provision that should William Haggatt Mellowes die childless then to Benjamin Mellowes. Should Benjamin Mellowes die childless then to Sarah Haggatt Mellowes. In fact, according to Hughes-Queree, the plantation was owned by David Parris by c. 1780 and by c. 1800 by George Carrington, his heir.
