Notes

An estate in Grenada in the quartier des Sauteurs and the parish of St. Patrick, identified as lot 4 in Daniel Paterson's Topographical Description of the Island of Grenada (1780) and as Estate 3 in Gavin Smith's Plan of the Island of Grenada (1801). Identified in 1824 as David. Between 1780 and 1801 the original estate was halved in size, the seaward half becoming part of Mount Alexander and the inland half being known as David, a provision ground owned by Dr Alexander Lumsden. Not identified separately in the slave registers, perhaps registered in conjunction with Mount Prospect or Morn Sansos, also owned by Lumsden.
