No Dates
Resident attorney and slave-owner in Jamaica, active in local politics in the post-Emancipation period. He was shown as Vice President of the Bank of Jamaica in the P.O.London Directory of 1843 and - as John Fowles senior - as AJ and Magistrate for Kingston and St Andrew in the 1851 Jamaica Almanac, in which John Fowles jun. also appeared as another AJ and Magistrate for Kingston. To date no death-date has been found by LBS for either man. LBS has tentatively concluded that this was the same John Fowles who was partner in John West & Co. of Kingston and active in 1801, but the implied length of his career might suggest there were three generations, not two.
