Robert Collymore

???? - 1824


Biography

White resident slave-owner on Barbados, the long-term partner of Amaryllis Collymore (q.v.), a formerly enslaved free woman of colour who he had manumitted by sale. Buried in St George, Barbados, 6 May 1824. His executor was Samuel James Collymore (q.v.).

  1. There appears to be confusion in Kathleen M. Butler, who said: 'Robert Collymore, a civil rights activist in the 1820s, had owned Haggatt Hall in the 1820s. When he died n the early 1830s, the estate passed to his son Samuel James Collymore, who already owned the Exchange in St Thomas.'
