The dates listed below have different categories as denoted by the letters in the brackets following each date. Here is a key to explain those letter codes:

  • SD - Association Start Date
  • SY - Association Start Year
  • EA - Earliest Known Association
  • ED - Association End Date
  • EY - Association End Year
  • LA - Latest Known Association
1817 [SY] - 1817 [EY] → Owner
James Moss senior

James Moss had been a slave trader and was one of the most prominent slave-owners in the Bahamas. It is likely that this was not an estate but rather a transfer of enslaved people from the Bahamas to Jamaica for sale.

1817 [EA] - 1817 [LA] → Attorney
Henry Moss

In his capacity as attorney Henry Moss filed the return on behalf of James Moss Esquire Senior 'of Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas.' There is no evidence that this was Henry Moss of Liverpool (q.v.): it appears more likely to have been Henry Moss of Crooked Island.

Notes

It is likely that this was not an estate but rather a transfer of enslaved people from the Bahamas to Jamaica for sale.
