Notes

Folly Pen is probably an amalgamation of two estates which are listed separately in the slave registers and almanacs, but both have the same name: Folly Pen [1] and Folly Pen [2].

Folly Pen [1] was owned by Ann McTier until at least 1826 when her attorney was Gilbert Fairfax Wallis (owner of Folly Pen [2]).
