William White

???? - 1840

Claimant or beneficiary

Biography

Identified as of Merton, Surrey in the compensation records. Unsuccessful counterclaimant for Tomlinson's estate in Antigua (for a debt of £6000), for Whites and Windwards on Montserrat and for another Montserrat claim. Very likely William White, eldest surviving son of Michael White of Montserrat and his first wife Mary nee Hussey. William White had inherited Tomlinson's from his father's first cousin Penelope Tomlinson (q.v.), a spinster who died in Antigua in 1806.

  1. The will of William White proved 13/06/1840 (and made in 1838) shows William White as of 'Merton Rush, in the County of Surrey.' If this is the same man it is an extremely brief and simple will for a land-owner in the Caribbean, leaving everything to his dear friend Sarah Cooke spinster.
