Slave-owner on Barbados, apparently resident. LBS has not traced her directly, but a family genealogy site shows her registration of 13 enslaved people at Woodlands, Christ Church 01/08/1834, and as nee Wilkinson and the widow of Thomas Shepherd Waith (who died in 1805: q.v. under Thomas Shepard With). According to this source, she gifted most of the nearly 100 enslaved people whom she had owned in the 1820s.
