Deceased by the time of the 1817 Barbados Slave Register.

He left his estate called Constant and the enslaved people on it in trust to his wife for life and then to his son also named John, failing whom his daughter Charlotte, the wife of General Frederick Maitland. He had settled £2500 charged on his estate on his daughter and Maitland on their marriage.
