Carnbee
1. The original purchaser of Rockley Bay division (St Andrew parish) Lots nos. 25 and 26 (which became Carnbee) on 19/03/1767 was John Melvill or Melville, who still held them in 1773. In 1832 the owner of 'Carnbie' was W. Hendrie: the estate was still in cultivation in 1862, and the 'Present Possessor' c. 1866 was W.E. Gain for Leg[atees] of Hendrie. Rockley Bay Lot. no. 9 (bought by J. Dumaresq
19/05/1767) was shown as 'Appen. to Carnbee' by Woodcock. John Melvill or Melville, the purchaser of the Lots which became Carnbee, has not yet been identified. Major John Melville of Cairny at Cupar was one of Robert Melville's attorneys in Scotland but his will proved 27/05/1797 [PROB 11/1291/241] shows no visible connection to Tobago. The Dutch family of Baron Melvill van Carnbee must logically
have a connection, but again none has been traced.
