Proved in Delaware[edit | edit source]
Richard Oliver of Antigua received a bequest in the will of Baldwin Johnson, of Appo. Hundred, New Castle county, Delaware, dated 1720, and proved 1721 in Delaware, see:
- The Historical Research Committee of the Colonial Dames of Delaware. A Calendar of Delaware Wills, New Castle County 1682-1800. New York: Frederick H. Hitchcock, 1911. Digital version at FamilySearch Digital Library. [See; pp. 23-24.]
Proved in Edinburgh[edit | edit source]
Proved in London[edit | edit source]
At least 275 residents of Antigua sent their wills to London to be proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC).[1]
Oliver compiled a list:
- 'Antigua. List of Wills relating to this Island proved in the P.C.C. down to 1812,' Caribbeana, Vol. 3 (1914):180-184. Digitised by dLOC - free.
Oliver also abstracted some wills and administrations proved in the PCC in Volume 3 of:
- Oliver, Vere Langford. The History of the Island of Antigua: One of the Leeward Caribbees in the West Indies, from the First Settlement in 1635 to the Present Time. 3 vols. London: Mitchell and Hughes, 1894-1899. FS Catalog Collection; digital version at Internet Archive [See pp. 401-405, 458-460.]
