Given as both 'Lessee from' (1820-26) and 'Lessee to' (1829-32) the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh in the Slave Registers. He was awarded the compensation for the enslaved people on the estate in 1836. A petition to the House of Lords of 1806 to allow James Trecothick to buy Red Hill Penn from the Royal infirmary for £7000 showed that the Royal Infirmary had been left an estate in 1749 by Archibald Kerr [by inference, Red Hill Pen] and that James Trecothick had entered into a 35 year lease over the pen [and presumably the enslaved people] in 1801 at £350 p.a. |
