George Crump

Slave-owner in Antigua, with his brother Nathaniel contracting to sell Andrew Newton of London an annuity of £300 p.a. on three estates (Crump Mountain; Crump Windwards and Crump Steel [sic: almost certainly Stock] when the two Crump brothers were shown as of Middlesex. Vere Langford Oliver shows a series of indentures 1767-1771 between the brothers (of St Marylebone) in which George Crump seems to have sold his interest in the family estates to Nathaniel [although the transcription appears garbled], and then George and his wife Russell sold out her interests in slave-property in Antigua. To date neither Nathaniel nor George Crump has been further traced in Britain. Vere Langford Oliver shows a George Crump of Antigua admitted to Gray's Inn 02/01/1768 and buried at Cocoa Nut Hall 23/10/1793 aged 48.
