- 1824 [EY] → Mortgage Holder
Auction sale in 1824 as a result of the bankruptcy of James Wildman, of Fen-court Fenchurch St., Merchant of a debt of £8000 to James Wildman secured on the Stoney Hill and Deodand estates, subject to a prior mortgage charge of £6000, and a debt of £15,000 or thereabouts due on open account to James Wildman by Henry Rawlins and Wm. Worthington Wickes, the mortgagers of the plantations. Times 11/12/1824 p. 4. |
|
- 1842 [LA] → Mortgage Holder
Sale in 1842 of a debt of £21,143 13s sterling and upwards secured on Stoney-hill and Deodand estates, as a result of the bankruptcy of Rowland Mitchell. Rowland Mitchell had presumably acquired the debt: in an earlier sale in 1824 the debt was sold by the assignees of James Wildman. Times 28/04/1842 p. 12. |

1781 [SY] - → Owner
Articles of Agreement dated 05/09/1781 between George Webbe senior of Stratford Wiltshire and George Webbe junior of Stoney Hill in Nevis recorded the division of estates on Nevis between the two men [who were uncle and nephew], after George Webbe junior had inherited under the will of his uncle Josiah Webbe (who with his brother George Webbe senior of Stratford had inherited as tenants in common under the will of their father, also George Webbe). At the instigation of the younger man, the two men had previously split the Stoney Hill estate. Under the new indenture of 1781, George Webbe senior took the New River estate (243 acres) and George Webbe junior the Deodand estate (194 acres), with an adjustment of £500 to reflect the higher value of the New River estate. It has not been possible to date to map these estates with complete confidence onto the estates named Stoney Hill and New River in later sources, but by inference the portion of Stoney Hill that went to George Webbe junior was that combined with Deodand that was mortgaged to James Wildman in the early 1800s. [George Webbe junior of Nevis was the man later known as George Webbe senior of Nevis].
