1754 - 1806
Resident slave-owner in Barbados.
John Nurse is estimated to have been born in 1754. He married Elizabeth Hannah Nurse [nee Bushell] and he was buried in St Philip's Church, Barbados, 7 May 1806. The burial record notes that he was the owner of the Horns & Todds estate.
Note that John Nurse also appeared to own 94½ acres of the Plantynes estate, St John. At his death this was valued at £3,000 and there are no enslaved listed as associated with this property. Similarly, there is an inventory of a piece of land of 63 acres valued at £4,462 10 0d and called the Nursery. Again, no associated enslaved listed.
