  • SD - Association Start Date
  • SY - Association Start Year
  • EA - Earliest Known Association
  • ED - Association End Date
  • EY - Association End Year
  • LA - Latest Known Association
1759 [EA] - 1759 [LA] → Previous owner

Inferred to be Patrick Taylor, father of Simon Taylor of Jamaica who was later mortgagee-in-possession.

1762 [EA] - 1762 [LA] → Previous owner

Inferred connection: the previous owner was given in 1762 as 'Thomas Hope Edlyne'. No such man has been traced, although there was a Thomas Hope Elletson (1725-1760).

1762 [EA] - 1762 [LA] → Trustee
1794 [EA] - 1795 [LA] → Mortgagee-in-Possession
1794 [EA] - 1799 [LA] → Previous owner

This is an inferred connection: Patrick McKinlay's will was proved in 1786 while Lithgow [and] McKinlay were shown as owners in 1794, and deceased only from 1796. The McKinlay who was the co-owner might be Thomas McKinlay of St Thomas-in-the-East, one of Patrick McKinlay's executors.

1794 [EA] - 1799 [LA] → Previous owner

Shown as 'Lithgow McKinlay' 1794-1796, and deceased only thereafter, but almost certainly referring to Hamilton Lithgow, who died in 1793.

1796 [EA] - 1799 [LA] → Mortgagee-in-Possession

The mortgagee-in-possession was given variously as Ballantine, Dick & Co. and Ballantine, Fairlie & Co. in this period.

1797 [EA] - 1799 [LA] → Mortgagee-in-Possession

The mortgagee-in-possession was given variously as Ballantine, Dick & Co. and Ballantine, Fairlie & Co. in this period.
