Charles Egerton

Profile & Legacies Summary

???? - 1725

Biography

Slave-owner on Barbados, with his brother Robert Egerton appearing in the Transatlantic Slave-Trade Database among the co-owners of a voyage to and from Barbados 1701. The plantations in his will are highly likely to have included Egerton's in St George parish, but LBS has not validated this directly.

  1. Will of Charles Egerton of [St George in the island of Barbados now residing in] London proved 02/11/1725. He left to his sister-in-law Mrs Christian Anna Evans £200 Barbados, his plate in Barbados and England, and 'my negro girl by name Doll which [sic] my wife had in England with her.' He left his plantations in Barbados to his brother-in-law Major Henry Evans until his [the testator's] nephew Robert Egerton was 21, when Robert Egerton was to have the plantations for life and then to Robert Egerton's heirs.
