Samuel Wisdom Barrett

Eldest son of Wisdom Barrett of Spot Valley Estate and his first wife Anne.

1. Will of Samuel Wisdom Barrett of Bedford Row proved 23/01/1827. In the will he left his wife Mary £100, £200 worth of household possessions and £100 p.a. to be paid out of the interest from a mortgage over Spot Valley [and the enslaved people on it] of £8818 3s 5d until his daughter Maria Theodora was 21, when the annuity was to be replaced by one of the same amount but secured instead on his estate [and enslaved people] in St James called Macaw River or Cottage. Somewhat unusually he entailed Macaw River to his daughter Ann first, then his son Samuel Francis then Maria Theodora: he said that Spot Valley would pass to his son Samuel Francis on his own death.
