Sister and legatee of James Trant of Montserrat who died c. 1804: Elizabeth Hill of Reading counterclaimed on the Lower or Lower Windward estate on Montserrat for £1600, 32 years arrears (of an annuity of £50 p.a.). The money was paid to trustees including Henry Trant. Apparently a different woman from the Elizabeth Hill (q.v.) who claimed unsuccessfully for Reeds Hill & Spring Estate in Montserrat, who was presumably the widow of Thomas Hill (q.v.).
