Mackay and Stiles papers, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; a summary of work by Alisha M. Cromwell at University of Georgia in her thesis 'Complicating the Patriarchy: Elite and Enslaved Women in the 19th Century Atlantic World' suggests that Mary Anne Cowper was active in Savannah as well as (and possibly instead of) Jamaica), https://history.uga.edu/directory/people/alisha-m-cromwell [accessed 11/10/2019].
