The link of James Jones the owner of Fair Prospect 1794-5 with with James Jones of Great Baddow is tentative, but the previous owner Edward Bullock was the father-in-law of James Jones and the link is further supported by the presence of Isaac Aguilar both in the will of James Jones and in the later registrations of ownership of Fair Prospect.

The estate was registered in the name of Aguilar & Fernandes until 1820, and then to the assignees of Aguilar and heirs of J.D. Fernandes.

1810 [EA] - 1814 [LA] → Joint owner
1814 [EA] - 1826 [LA] → Previous owner

Heirs of J.D. Fernandes were shown as co-owners from 1820. In fact he had died in 1814.
