John Thomlinson

MP for Steyning, agent for New Hampshire, and son-in-law of Major Martin Blake (q.v.) whose daughter Margaret was Thomlinson's third wife. He succeeded his father as partner of Barlow Trecothick (q.v.). The History of Parliament entry for Barlow Trecothick states that he owned an estate with the Thomlinson family on Grenada, but the wills of both John Thomlinson MP and his father, both proved in 1767, are silent on 'slave-property.' Barlow Trecothick certainly owned the Grand Bacolet estate on Grenada, shown under his own name in 1782.
