[Name] Vaughan's [subsequently Donovans]  

An indenture of 24/03/1798 [Close Roll, 38 Geo III. Part 2 No. 12] rehearsed an earlier indenture of 25/10/1785 between Rowland Otto Baijer, and James Donovan whereby in exchange for Vaughan's estate Donovan paid £6000 to Rowland Otto Baijer and £8000 to Baijer's sisters Frances Otto Baijer and Katharine Edwards (wife of Zachary Baily Edwards) with interest at 6%, which had been paid off, and a further £4000 to be paid to William Wickham Harman (presumably to settle prior indebtedness secured on the estate: Rowland Otto Baijer subsequently had James Donovan arrested for the non-payment of the £4000 to Harman). Oliver identifies the estate formerly known as Vaughans as 'now called Donovans' (History of Antigua Vol I p. 208).
