The dates listed below have different categories as denoted by the letters in the brackets following each date. Here is a key to explain those letter codes:

  • SD - Association Start Date
  • SY - Association Start Year
  • EA - Earliest Known Association
  • ED - Association End Date
  • EY - Association End Year
  • LA - Latest Known Association
1792 [EA] - 1798 [LA] → Previous owner
1815 [EA] - 1828 [LA] → Previous owner
1817 [EA] - 1820 [LA] → Mortgagee-in-Possession

Thomas Kington the younger would have been a relatively young man in 1817: although he is known to have been a partner with his uncle Philip John Miles, it is not clear whether his father Thomas Kington senior had also had mercantile involvement in the West Indies....

1817 [EA] - 1820 [LA] → Mortgagee-in-Possession
1829 [EA] - 1832 [LA] → Not known

The capacity in which Philip John Miles was connected with Johnston was not shown for 1829 and 1832, but he was previously mortgagee-in-possession in 1817-1820 and claimed as such in 1834/5 for this group of enslaved people, so almost certainly he was mortgagee-in-possession in 1829-32

1832 [EA] - → Previous owner

Dr Robert Bell was previous owner of a group of enslaved people attached to Johnston Pen that he appears to have left to John Stogdon Highatt, his adopted son.

1832 [EA] - → Previous owner
1832 [EA] - → Agent
