BADLAND BEARCROFT BRUNTON COLLEY DANGERFIELD OWEN TURNER WEST WHINN-JONES

BADLAND, Susannah - of Leigh in the county of Worcester, widow, 7 Feb 1828. Whereas my son, Joseph BRUNTON esquire alias John BADLAND lately departed this life in the Quarter of Diego Martin in the Island of Trinidad intestate and without having been married and by the laws of the said Island I, as his mother, am the sole and natural heiress in the ascending line. At the time of his death he was proprietor of 3 sugar plantations called or known as Pampluna in the Quarter of Saint Juans de Aricagua Diamond, St.Lucien & Westmoreland in the Quarter of Diego Martin with all lands, works, buildings, cultivations and slaves etc, which I now give to my son-in-law Thomas COLLEY* of Leigh, mason, all those said sugar plantations etc (as above) and all my possessions there or in the United Kingdom to him his heirs or assigns for ever on these trusts: To encash all my personal estate and to sell the sugar plantations to pay the funeral costs of myself and of my said son Joseph BRUNTON alias John BADLAND and to divide the remainder into 8 equal parts to be given as follows: (i) to my son William BADLAND;   (ii) to my son Joseph BADLAND;   (iii) to my son James BADLAND;   (iv) to my daughter Ann COLLEY wife of the said Thomas COLLEY for her sole benefit notwithstanding her coverture;   (v)to my grandson James BRUNTON alias James BADLAND of the Island of Trinidad;   (vi) to the said Thomas COLLEY for his own benefit;   (vii) to be invested for the benefit of the Mulatta Boy born about the 25th Feb 1813 of the body of a female Negro called Maria Louisa at that time a slave to or living with my son the said Joseph BRUNTON until the said Mulatta Boy or Youth attains the age of 21 years when he shall have the principal;   (viii) to be invested for the benefit of Marie Louisa Jones BRUNTON, natural daughter of Mrs Catherine WHINN JONES or late of Warrington, Lancashire, now being about 14yrs of age and at school at Preston, Lancashire, until she be 21 or married when she is to have the principal. If any of these legatees should die before receiving their legacies and without leaving lawful issue then their respective shares are to be divided between the survivors of the legatees. Provided that if the said Mulatta Boy or Marie Louisa Jones BRUNTON should take the personal estate of the said Joseph BRUNTON alias John BADLAND by virtue of his Will dated at Liverpool on 17 Nov 1815, then I revoke the gifts made to them;   if this happens then Thomas COLLEY is to divide their shares into 6 equal parts of which 1 part is to go to each of the said William BADLAND, Joseph BADLAND, James BADLAND, (my sons), the said Ann COLLEY and Thomas COLLEY and the said James BRUNTON alias BADLAND (my grandson) - Made by Susannah (X) BADLAND on 7 Feb 1828. Witnesses: George BEARCROFT,   Robert DANGERFIELD,   Robert DANGERFIELD,   William WEST. Proved at London (PCC) on 11 Jul 1829 by the oath of Thomas  COLLEY the executor named. TNA Ref: PROB 11/1757 fr. 402. Note: The testator was Susannah BADLAND (née Susannah TURNER) the widow of James BADLAND, an ag. lab. of Cradley, Herefordshire. She d.1828 at Leigh; he d.1825 at Cradley. His Will (Hereford 12 Nov 1825), gives no impression of wealth. It is clear from his Will that his sons were all abroad and were to inherit his small estate only if they returned home. It seems therefore to follow that his son John (alias Joseph BRUNTON) died between 1825 and 1828. Susannah had been an heiress for a very short time. James BADLAND (her husband) had been born in Presteigne in 1739, the son of John and Olive BADLAND. Their family had lived in/around Staunton-on-Arrow in Herefordshire since the first decade of the 15th century. By the early 19th century however the BADLAND family had lost all their land and were poor farm labourers. Why or how John BADLAND alias Joseph BRUNTON acquired his alias or his Trinidad estates is unknown. Marie Louisa Jones BRUNTON was a music teacher and lived with her half-brother the Revd Owen OWEN, vicar of Kelbrook, Yorkshire, until her death in 1889. The 'Mulatta Boy' had a son, Nicholas BRUNTON, a rich estate owner in Trinidad, the man who first imported indentured East Indian labourers into that colony.
