Hi all, Alastair has very kindly deciphered the copy of Right Hon George Rose's will that I ordered some time back. What is interesting is that the will states his property was in Dominica, not Antigua. The plantation was called Morne Denise and the will talks about cane offices, slaves and cattle stores. Just thought I would clear that up.
