Biography

Slave-owner on Carriacou, owner of Beausejour on Carriacou in 1790. He was described by his son-in-law Philip Wilson (q.v.) as late of Carriacou but now of England when Wilson made his will in 1797; he was not mentioned in the will of his daughter Martha Wilson proved in 1801, implying that he might have died between the two dates, but LBS has not traced him further in Britain.
