???? - 1805
American loyalist, reportedly moving 170 enslaved people from South Carolina to Jamaica in 1782, where he appears to have stayed only briefly, moving to London by 1784. To date no plantation or estate associated with him in Jamaica has been found by LBS, implying that he sold the enslaved people. He died in London in 1805.
