Michael Llewhellin (given as Llewhillin), awarded the compensation with Henry Palmer (q.v.) for the Carew Castle estate in Jamaica.

1. Possibly the Michael Llewhellin aged 82 living at Pinches ton, Carew in 1851, widower and farmer of 136 acres born Pembrokeshire with his niece Elizabeth aged 50 housekeeper, and the same Michael Llewhellin whose death was registered Q1 1854 at Pembroke.

T71/855 St Thomas-in-the-Vale No. 260. The two men were possibly related by marriage: a Michael Llewhellin (1769-1854) is shown at http://records.ancestry.com/Michael_Llewhellin_records.ashx?pid=165694666 [accessed 21/10/2011] as the son of William Llewhellin (1736-1814), who died at Carew Pembrokeshire, and Martha Harte, and as marrying Margaret Palmer. His sister Elizabeth (1771-1852) married George Palmer (1768-1820), conceivably also the brother of Henry Palmer (d. 1849).
