Wastel Brisco of Devonshire Place

Nephew of Wastel Brisco of Jamaica and Wimpole Street (from whom inherited his house in Wimpole Street) and cousin of Sir John Brisco bart. (both of whom q.v.). Wastel Brisco was shown as owner of Coffee Grove in Clarendon Jamaica 1804 and 1807: the estate had belonged to Jane Blinshall (q.v.) who had left it to her niece Sarah Brisco, 'wife of ____Brisco of Devonshire Place' and her children. During their minority, it was presumably their father in whose name the estate was registered.
