John Fraser of Findhorn

Co-owner of Good Intent in Demerara with his brother Alexander Fraser (d. 1808) and John Haywood (both of whom q.v.). According to David Alston, he transferred his share of the Good Intent and Sisters estates to John Haywood in 1811.

1. 'John Fraser died at Findhorn, Moray, in 1818. With him was a ‘free mulatto woman’ Henrietta Fraser, formerly a slave on James Smith’s plantation in the island of Nevis - presumably the servant who had left Demerara with him the previous year. Their son, James, was at this time a ‘a teacher in the County of Middlesex or Essex’. A daughter, Elizabeth Fraser, a ‘free coloured girl’, the daughter of a slave Rose on the same estate, was living in Alnwick, Northumberland.'
