In 1830 William Yard owned the plantation but died intestate. His heirs-at-law were his sisters Ann Grassett, widow of Elliott Grassett, Elizabeth Hampden, wife of John Hampden & Mary Lovell, wife of Edward Lovell. Rev. John Hampden of England owner of 1/3 of the plantation in right of his wife sold his share to Ann Grassett and Mary Lovell.

According to Kathleen Mary Butler, The Economics of Emancipation: Jamaica and Barbados 1823-1843 (Chapel Hill and London, University of North Carolina Press, 1995) pp. 102-4, Mary Lovell and Ann Grassett inherited the estate from their brother, William Yard, mortgagee of Renn Hamden and John Hamden (Renn Dickson Hampden, Mary Lovell's son-in-law, was a different man). Mary Lovell and Ann Grassett were reportedly resident at the time, but Mary Lovell moved to England and died in 1843.
