The enslaved people on Windsor Castle were 'transferred' from George William Hamilton to John Davidson c. 1829. Davidson's father Henry Davidson sen. had left Windsor Castle and Providence in St Thomas-in-the-East to John Davidson in his will proved in 1827. This is not reflected in the information in the Slave Registers and Almanacs.
