Sir Jermyn Davers

In 1654, William Byam, previously of Barbados but who had moved to Surinam, sold 80 acres in St George and a further 10 in the possession of Ann Peppercorn to Robert Davers (subsequently Sir Robert Davers 1st Bt.). In 1730, Thomas Davers of St George and Sir Jermyn Davers Bt., absentee in England [the grandsons of the 1st bt.), sold to the Hon John Frere of St Philip: (1) the Lower Estate; (2) Moonshine Hall, which was then 198 acres and on which there were 91 enslaved people. The Frere family continued to own Moonshine until at least 1800. Applewhaite Frere appears to have been the owner by 1777.
