Statements
An estate in Grenada in the quartier des Sauteurs and the parish of St. Patrick, identified as lot 11 in Daniel Paterson's <em>Topographical Description of the Island of Grenada</em> (1780) and as Estate 11 in Gavin Smith's <em>Plan of the Island of Grenada</em> (1801). Identified in 1824 as Duquesne. This was one of three estates (with Grosse Pointe and Bon Air) confiscated by the British governm
ent from Grenadian rebels c. 1797. The Duquesne, Bon Air, Plaisance and Grosse Pointe estate were advertised for sale in 1809 [London Gazette 16287 15/08/1809 p. 1307]. Grosse Pointe appears to have been discontinued as an estate after 1820, and the enslaved people redistributed to Duquesne and Bon Air, which were retained until the eve of Emancipation. Two new small cotton estates were formed out
of the eastern end of Duquesne at some point before 1824 - see Mount Airy and 'Unknown (Estate 8)'.
