Leith Hall [ Jamaica | St Thomas-in-the-East, Surrey ]

It is not clear how Peter Reddie's connection shown in the 1817 and 1820 Slave Register entries with the Leith Hall estate arose, but he had married the daughter of James Noble of Greenock: John Noble had been a prior owner of the estate, dying at Greenock, and was possibly his wife's uncle.
