Nevilla, I have a Robert Wynne Oliver who died of wounds at Barrouallie in St Vincent on Aug 18, 1795. This info comes from Kingstown, St Vincent St George's Cathedral burial transcripts. His death came five months after the death of Carib chief Chatoyer on March 14, 1795. He may have been wounded in a British skirmish of some sort aimed at crushing the Caribs completely. The Caribs finally surrendered in June 1796 and were dispossessed of all their agricultural lands. They were later exiled to Roatan.

There were more than just one group of Caribs on St. Vincent. As well as the majority who were racially mixed there were also relatively remote unalloyed Caribs. Some of the Black Caribs also remained neutral or switched sides. When the majority were sent to Rotan there were also Caribs both Red and Black who were allowed to remain.

Can you say if there was a Protector of Indians in regard to the Caribs on St. Vincent or Rotan? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Bond" <RichardBond@webtv.net> To: <CARIBBEAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 3:25 PM Subject: Caribs on St. Vincent > There were more than just one group of Caribs on St. Vincent.

Hi Cheryl & Nevilla, There is an interesting document on the surveying and division of the Neutral Islands (St. Vincent, Dominica and Tobago), Grenada and the Grenadines. It is available in the website :- http://www.nalis.gov.tt/SlaveDeeds/Slave_LandDeedsSurvey.htm. It mentions that the Esquires William YOUNG, Alexander GRAEME, John HUNT, Robert STEWART and Robert WYNNE were nominated, constituted and appointed as the commissioners for the selling and disposing of the said lands and on the said islands.
