Elizabeth Marshall (née Horn)

Possibly the [blank] Horne, daughter of John and Elizabeth Horn, who was born [blank] and baptised 31/01/1779 in Kingston, Jamaica. Elizabeth (or her daughters or husband) inherited Mount Moses in St Andrew, Jamaica, which had previously been owned by John Horn (d. 1799, whose wife Elizabeth later married Alexander Ector).

Rev. Edward Marshall married Miss Elizabeth Horn in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1794.

Anna, daughter of Rev. Edward Marshall and Elizabeth, born 26/11/1801 at Ashfwington[?] and baptised 27/05/1802 in Totnes, Devon. Lucy (born 1807) and John (born 1809), children of the Rev. Edward Marshall and Elizabeth his wife, were baptised in St Andrew, Jamaica, in 1809. Charles (born 1811), Mary Ann (born 1813) and Dora (1815), with the same parents, were baptised in St Andrew in 1815. Lucy Sophia, daughter of the Rev. Edward Marshall, late Rector of St George, deceased, was born 12/11/1819 and baptised 18/11/1821 in St Andrew.

Enslaved people on Mount Moses were registered by Rev. Edward Marshall as owner and natural guardian to his children Anna and Lucy Marshall in 1817; as owner and natural guardian in 1820; by Samuel Murphy as attorney of Elizabeth Marshall in 1823 and 1826 and by Samuel Murphy as trustee in 1829 and 1832. It's not clear why only two of Edward Marshall's children are mentioned in the earlier registers. They may have inherited a small number of enslaved people rather than a share in the estate. It's not clear whether the trust beneficiaries are Elizabeth Marshall or her children.
