The original purchasers of Sandy Bay (St Patrick parish) Lots no. 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 were Charles Simpson as to Lots nos. 9, 10 and 12 (12/05/1766) and William Gardiner as to Lots no . 11 & 12 (19/03/1767), which together became the Bon Accord estate; in 1773 W. Robertson was shown as the Present Proprietor (with A Symson). In 1832 the owners were shown as Rep. G & J Petrie, and 'Present Possess
ors c. 1866 were 'heirs of Hunt'. The estate was still in cultivation in 1866.1. In 1792, what appears to have been the transaction by which Symson and Robertson purchased the lots from William Gardiner (for £2520 less £114 15s due to the Crown) gave rise to the case of Mason v. Gardiner, in which the son of the London agents for Symson and Robertson attempted to release the security of the bonds
his father and his father's partner John Graham had issued to William Gardiner to secure the instalments of the purchase.2. In 1830, the estate was put for sale pursuant to a decree in Chancery, in the cause of Codrington v Walker; it was then described as near seven thousand acres with 220 enslaved people.
