John Hogg

Slave-owner in Jamaica, apparently resident, dying c. 1820. The compensation for the enslaved people on his Strathmore and Logwoods estate(s) was awarded to his executor Peter Hogg, but appears to have been for the benefit of his [John Hogg's] natural children with his housekeeper Margaret Campbell.
