???? - 1837
In the will of Isabella Hankey (nee Alexander) (q.v.), she said that she had since her husband's death (which took place in 1807) purchased from Sir Morris Ximenes a 1/8th interest in the Grand Bras estate in Grenada. The path to ownership by Sir Morris Ximenes is not yet known to LBS: a connection between Ximenes, the Bulama colonisation off the coast of Sierra Leone and the Hankey family is suggested by the journey of the merchant ship Hankey owned or chartered the Bulam Company and sailing between Bulama and Grenada c. 1792.
