No Dates
Resident slave-owner, Member of the Assembly. Given as Edward Truman Guy in the compensation records.
Caribbeana Vol. III 'Guy of Jamaica' does not show Edward Trueman Guy but says of 'Edward Freeman Guy' (1793-1854), son of John Hudson Guy (1754-1816) that Trueman is given for Freeman in [Archer's] M[onumental] I[nscriptions] Vol. I p. 219. It seems likely that there is confusion and that the man of this entry is Edward Trueman Guy (1793-1854).
