The dates listed below have different categories as denoted by the letters in the brackets following each date. Here is a key to explain those letter codes:
|
|
1771 [EA] - → Annuitant
|
|
1781 [EA] - 1781 [LA] → Previous owner
There is ambiguity as to whether 'Estate of Thomas Cargill' in the Accounts Produce implied that he was dead or simply that Stoakes Hall belonged to him, but late indentures suggest he sold the estate to Eliphalet Fitch sometime before 1802. |
|
1802 [EA] - 1802 [LA] → Previous owner
On 31/12/1802 Eliphalet Fitch conveyed the indebted Stoakes Hall estate and the enslaved people on it, which and whom he had bought from Thomas Cargill, to Alexander Donaldson. |
|
1802 [EA] - 1803 [LA] → Mortgage Holder
Protheroe and Claxton were mortgagees of 100 enslaved people on Stoakes Hall from Eliphalet Fitch; their mortgage appears to have been paid off by Alexander Donaldson sometime between 1802-1803. |
|
1802 [EA] - 1803 [LA] → Mortgage Holder

[Name] Stoakes Hall
An indenture of 27/09/1803 between Alexander Donaldson and George Glenny of the one part and William Manning, John Inglis, Joseph Dorin and John Robley (each representing, and partner in, a different firm of London merchants) conveyed from Donaldson to the London merchants substantial slave-property to secure the borrowing by Donaldson and Glenny of £60,000 of new capital from the firms of Manning, Inglis, Dorin and Robley. The second indenture of 28/09/1803 gave the [extended] background, and showed inter alia the conveyance to Alexander Donaldson of the Stoakes Hall estate and the enslaved people attached to it on 31/12/1802 by Eliphalet [sic] Fitch in consideration of the £49642 1s 3d and three farthings owed by Fitch to Donaldson, a further £12356 14s 5d farthing current money [apparently a new advance by Donaldson] and another £25136 4s 3d of additional indebtedness to Donaldson, subject to earlier encumbrances including an annuity of £300 p.a. to Elizabeth Hodgins Cargill (q.v.) from 1771, a mortgage to Philip Livingstone for £5300, £3500 of a legacy of £5000 under the will of Richard Cargill and a further annuity of £400 p.a. to Elizabeth Hodgins Cargill, and a mortgage over 100 enslaved people from Eliphalet Fitch to Protheroe & Claxton, most of which encumbrances Donaldson had paid off. The indenture said that Fitch had purchased the estate from Thomas Cargill and Elizabeth his wife.
