Dear Cindy, This is very interesting. Mrs. Warner may have been Elizabeth Ottley (1757-1801) who is mentioned here. She had two sisters, one Mary Trant Ottley who married in Sept 1785 to Captain Cornelius Smelt in Richmond Co: York. He was the Lieut. Governor of the Isle of Man; and the other sister was Mary Alice, who never married and probably traveled with her. cindy kilgore wrote: > A bit of a bagatelle for some of you interested in Hugues and the > rebellions occurring across the Caribbean in his wake.
