Wine Hodgson formerly Tracey

Widow of John Tracey [probably John Tracey senior q.v.]: she ties together several otherwise obscure Jamaican families as well as the family of a more significant figure, Abraham Hodgson, in whose will she appears and whose mother-in-law she was. By the time of her death c. 1827 she was living at Wem in Shropshire. It is not clear why she carried the surname Hodgson in the 1820s.
