An ancestor in my family CHOLLET of swiss origin, Samuel CHOLLET (born in 1748 in Moudon/Switzerland) lived in the Caribbean between 1777 and 1814, mainly on islands in british possession. He was Commissary General of His Majesty on Barbados in 1806/1807, then later Custom Collector of His Majesty on Trinidad where he died in 1814. Samuele had a legitimate daughter Elisa CHOLLET (who married with a french man in 1804 on Tobago and had a son in 1807 on Tobago). He also had a natural son Horatio Nelson CHOLLET who married Amelia SARLAT on Grenada in 1827. Nelson and Amelia had several children on Grenada, especially George CHOLLET in 1844. Nelson became in 1828 the executor of his half-brother Samuel Jr CHOLLET (born ca 1799) and the guardian of this latter's two daughters Rosabelle CHOLLET and Philippa CHOLLET (both born between 1820 and 1828 as they were minor in 1834). I am looking for any information regarding the surname CHOLLET in the Caribbean, especially the islands Stacia, Dominica, Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados. I am especially interested in what happened to George, Rosabelle and Philippa. I am also interested in a certain Ann CHOLLET who married Arthur Chichester CROOKSHANK in 1825 on Grenada, as well as in a certain Tazie CHOLLET who lived in Roseau/Dominica between 1817 and 1820. I have no idea who were the parents of Ann and Tazie. Thank you in advance to everybody who can help. Kind regards Reynold Chollet of Switzerland

Reynold, I find information about Philippa's will at http://books.google.com/books?id=1jcyAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA75&dq=Chollet&lr=&num=50&as_brr=1&ei=ojv7SuS7C56iygSK2KSeDw#v =onepage&q=Chollet&f=false.
