Dalrymple

'Dalrymple' was shown as owner of an unnamed estate on Grenada in 1780-82. Possibly a posthumous reference to Hugh (Hew) Dalrymple, Scottish advocate and Attorney General of Grenada, but more likely to his heirs, who included Henry Hew Dalrymple. His daughter, Grace Elliot [sic], who has her own entry in the ODNB as 'courtesan and writer', married Sir John Eliot, who also has an entry as 'physician'. In Henry Hew Dalrymple's evidence to the 1789-90 Committee on the Slave Trade, he said he had purchased his estate on Grenada from Mr Townsend, Treasurer of the island, who had been trustee of his (Henry Hew Dalrymple's) father. Dalrymple said his estate of 250 acres had been in cocoa but was then uncultivated, 'and no slaves belong to it.'
