Notes

It's not clear why this estate is called Mount Pleasant in the compensation records and Charlton in other sources, but it's clearly the same estate. Possibly there was confusion with another Inglis Ellice estate called Mount Pleasant in St John's.

Frances Inglis inherited Charlton from her brother John around 1760-65, appointing as overseer a James Sutherland (1734-1796) who married her daughter Ann Inglis (1746-1797) in Kingston Parish Church in 1766. Frances bequeathed the estate to her son John Dickons Inglis (1756-1793), who in turn left it to his wife Maria Inglis (nee Reed, later Burns). The marriage settlement of Maria Inglis enabled her to will the property in any way she chose; she left her second husband John Burns an annuity of £100 per annum secured on the estate but left the property absolutedly to Maria Inglis of Jamaica and thereafter to her first husband's uncle John Inglis of Mark Lane (d. 1822). The identity of this Mary Inglis is unclear - she may have been the sister of John Dickons Inglis, 13 months his junior and baptised in Jamaica on the same day as John Dickons Inglis in 1756.
