Let me add my welcome to you Chris. I am researching Ottley in Barbuda--talking about letting you get up to speed, I'm acting as if you landed with your feet churning!!! I know that George We(a)therill Ottley, Esq. was in Barbuda in 1809 taking care of the sale of property for a friend. Have you any info of Ottleys being born in Barbuda during that time, before or after? With the help of you and many others, I have gone a long way in my research, and have even photos of my gggrandmother, Elizabeth Downes from Barbados, and know that in 1853 she married my gggrandfather, Thomas Henry Taitt [born a slave at Foster Hall]. His mother was a Clarista Downes and his father was Henry Taitt, baptised in 1819 as an adult at Foster Hall Plantation, St. Joseph, Barbados. I have Taitt cousins right here in the Washington, D. C./Maryland area. I am still working on the Ottley, Grosvenor, and Hunt lines. Again, we are glad that you are back. Nevilla E.
