Rev. John Brathwaite

Resident clergyman, claimed unsuccessfully for three awards in Barbados as owner-in-fee, heir-at-law and administrator. John Higginson and his successors appear as creditors both for the Gretton estate connected with the Hon. John Brathwaite and for a counterclaim against Rev. John Brathwaite (under Barbados no. 4992), raising the possibility that [Hon.] John Brathwaite (q.v.) and Rev. John Brathwaite were one and the same.
