Rebecca Broadley (née Willock)

Daughter and legatee of Alexander Willock, and widow of Bath. Together with her sister Elizabeth Cuthbert and Elizabeth Cuthbert's children, she was one of a large number of counterclaimants on a series of estates on Antigua and Montserrat, the compensation for which was paid to George Savage Martin. Although ostensibly unsuccessful, it is probable that she and her fellow counterclaimants were among the beneficiaries of a settlement reached under these claims and administered by George Savage Martin.
