1768 - 1849
Son of Thomas Hercey Barritt (q.v.), who left him an annuity of £400 p.a. in his will, secured on Paradise in Vere. Thomas Hercy Barritt left his real estate [and enslaved people] in Jamaica to his daughters implying either estrangement from his son or perceived incompetence on the latter's part. Consistent with this, George Booth Barritt had been imprisoned for debt in 1806.
