Rev. Richard Neate

Profile & Legacies Summary

1737 - 1817

Biography

Rev. Richard Neate of Westminster was party to a deed of 28/11/1769 with Patrick O'Flaherty late of Nevis and Archibald Thomson of Nevis. Given that descendants of Rev. Richard Neate were among the co-awardees of compensation for the Zetland estate on Nevis under a mortgage deed of 1774, LBS has concluded that the deed to which Rev. Richard Neate was party was probably related to Zetland.

LBS has inferred the connection between (1) the unnamed estate of Patrick O'Flaherty with which Rev. Richard Neate was associated in 1768 and 1769 and 1774 and (2) the Zetland estate for which his descendants were awarded compensation in the 1830s to have been a mortgage held by Rev. Richard Neate on the estate.
