Farley Hill or Grenade Hall & Welch Town
Grenade Hall & Welch Town (or Welchtown) were closely connected to the Jordan family – who were connected to the Dottin, Battyn & Alleyne families. <strong>Farley Hill – Grenade Hall</strong> in St. Peter & St. Andrew was owned, by 1760, by the Dottin family: in that year Abel Dottin of Oxford, England, left 2 Barbados plantations to his son, Abel Dottin. <strong>Welchtown in St. Peter, St. Andrew
(and possibly St. Lucy?)</strong> was owned, 1674-1689, by Elizabeth Sandiford: 179 acres in St Peter. in 1721, George Sandiford Crowe, son of ex-Governor of Barbados, Mitford Crowe and his wife Orianna Crowe, formerly Orianna Chamberlaine, the widow of Sir Willoughby Chamberlaine and née Orianna Sandiford, spinster of St. Peter. Mitford Crowe and Robert Lowther were both Governors who intermarri
ed with the Barbadian plantocracy. Gov. Atkins and Kendal were also connected by marriage with the families of Walrond and Colleton. This created a conflict of interest for these Governors policy of British Government versus interests of the planters. In 1725, George Sandiford Crowe sold the plantation to Philip Jackman, 222 acres, £6000; in 1730 Philip Jackman sold to Samuel Osborne. In 1736, Sam
uel Osborne bequeathed plantation to son Richard Osborne.
