1817 [SY] - 1817 [EY] → Owner

James Moss had been a slave trader and was one of the most prominent slave-owners in the Bahamas. It is likely that this was not an estate but rather a transfer of enslaved people from the Bahamas to Jamaica for sale.

1817 [EA] - 1817 [LA] → Attorney

In his capacity as attorney Henry Moss filed the return on behalf of James Moss Esquire Senior 'of Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas.' There is no evidence that this was Henry Moss of Liverpool (q.v.): it appears more likely to have been Henry Moss of Crooked Island.


Notes

It is likely that this was not an estate but rather a transfer of enslaved people from the Bahamas to Jamaica for sale.
