Interesting Last Will and Testament concerning properties on Jamaica <B>(JAMAICA)</B>. Will and Testament of Joseph Barnes esq., dated St. Jago de la Vega, Jamaica, 30 May 1829 (with the 'Administration, extracted by Farquhar Sladen - Proctors Doctors Commons', Cambridge, 9th November 1831). (St. Jago de la Vega, Jamaica, 30 May 1829).
Very interesting document for the history of Jamaica. It is the will of Joseph Barnes (d. 6 May 1829 at Kingston, Jamaica), who had property in Cumberland Pen on Jamaica. As executors of the will are mentioned: Joseph's brother Thomas Barnes to whom a part of the property in Cumberland Pen had descended (with John Sutton Williams as his attorney) and Barthlomew Ibbott Williams residing at Jamaica, and Alexander Evans and John Lynch at London. The will was registered and officially endorsed in London on 9 November 1831 in the name and with the seals of William the Archbishop of Canterbury. The will lists as Joseph Barnes's heirs among others Bettey Stalker (widow of William Stalker and sister of Joseph Barnes) and Joseph's 'dearly beloved daughter' Charlotte Hannah Barnes. It is the latter who inherits another part of her father's property on Jamaica: '... all that land ... which is situated to the northward and eastward of the house in which I now reside situated on the Rock Ffort or Great Wind Road in the parish of Kingston with the appurtenances thereunto'. Another part of his property was 'in the parish of Saint Catharina in the County of Middlesex and island of Jamaica commonly called and known by the name of Cumberland Penn together with all and every negro and other slaves thereunto belonging ...'.
