7th Sep 1823 - ????
Son of James Corne Pownall and "free mulatto" Sarah Watt. Born in Jamaica, 07/09/1823. Inherited a share in Silver Hill estate in St Andrew, Jamaica, in trust with his six siblings and six of his first cousins, on the death of his father in 1824. His father's will also provided for his maintenance and education as well as the sum of £1,000 for each reputed child to set them up "in any business and establishment that may seem to my trustees to be proper and adviseable or any lesser sum they may think fit to subsititute". Robert Pownall has not been traced after his baptism record and is assumed to have died young.
Familysearch.org, Jamaica Church of England Parish Register Transcripts, 1664-1880 [database online]; will of James Corne Pownall, PROB 11/1719/375.
