Duncan Campbell of Morven Estate

Of Morven estate in Hanover Jamaica, dying in London in 1810. It is not clear from his will whether he owned the Morven estate or was an attorney or manager there: the latter appears more likely as his legacies included a bay mare to John Malcolm and a cow and calf to another friend John Hog [?], rather modest legacies for an owner of an estate and enslaved people.
