George James Cholmondeley 1st Marquess of Cholmondeley

In 1808, 'Mr Davidson' (q.v., under Henry Davidson senior) was reported to have discharged the mortgage of £10,000 on the estates of William Philip Perrin (q.v.) 'due to Lord Cholmondeley.' The estates are not specified but the context suggests that these were possibly Perrin's Jamaica estates [together with the enslaved people attached to them]. This is the only reference found to date by LBS to Cholmondeley as a creditor of Perrin or potentially of 'slave-property.'
