Deed 37-512 dated 7 Nov 1765
Honourable John Gittens, Esq, of St. Philip of the 1st part to Joshua Gittens of St. Phillip, eldest son of John Gittens and his heir apparent of the 2nd part, and Dorothy Blackman of St. Michael, Spinster of the 3rd part daughter of John Lacie Blackman of St. Michael of the 4th part....
Pending marriage between Joshua Gittens and Dorothy Blackman plus 2,000£
Notes: this document showed that Joshua Gittens was bringing land and Dorothy money into the marriage.
NB: This deed clarifies that Dorothy Blackman married Joshua Gittens, the eldest son of the Honourable John Gittens. [In my database I had Dorothy Blackman Married to Joshua Gittens, Son of Edward Gittens and Margaret Ray...which is incorrect!] |
