Capel Cure II

Awarded the compensation for the Belvidere estate in St Thomas-in-the-East Jamaica with Edward Jarman (q.v.) as trustees of Stella Frances Allen (q.v). The role must have been inherited, from his father, also Capel Cure (d. 1820), since it arose from the will of Stella Frances Allen's brother John Cope Freeman proven in 1788.
