Notes

The Lyte family had established the Boarded Hall sugar plantation in Christ Chruch and St George in 1674-76. In 1676 Paul Lyte, a merchant, purchased 216 acres for 900,000 lbs muscovado sugar from Thomas and Elizabeth Oriardne. In 1767 the estate passed from John Lyte to the Blackman family: see evolutions.

What is this?

1767
 

John Lyte bequeathed Boarded Hall to his wife Susannah Lyte, neé Blackman. In turn she bequeathed the plantation to the heirs of her brother, Jacob Lucie Blackman. Ownership then descended through the family through John Lucie Blackman (1735-1797) and then his son, George Blackman (1767-1836), the great-nephew of Susanna and Jacob Lucie Blackman.
