Welchmans Hall Plantation
It appears that the estate was sold to William Grant Ellis (q.v.) by Thomas Williams (known as General Williams of the Barbados Militia) in 1825. At that stage, the property consisted of 177 acres, with mansion, sugar mill, boiling house etc., and 67 slaves with the agreement that W. G. Ellis would pay off a debt to Ann Hinds, widow of Benjamin Hinds, paying Thomas Williams £1,545 17s 6d on accoun
t leaving a balance due to Williams of £5,000 secured by W. G. Ellis. By this Welchman's Hall ceased to be in the Williams family as it had been since 1675. What is not clear is at what point John Thomas Ellis acquired the property or what his relation to William Grant Ellis was. William Grant Ellis's 'coloured' son, Thomas Ellis (died 1870) inherited some of his father's property in 1841. See [en
try for W. G. Ellis](http://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/person/view/1581).Dr John Williams Worrell Carrington bought Welchman's Hall from Mr Ellis in early 1840. He died in 1865 or 1866 and the house was inhabited by his widow until she died in 1881. It was sold in 1882 to Mr Charles West. The main house was dismantled in 1929 and the land sold to Mr Boyce, owner of Sturges Plantation, St Thomas.
