Claimant or beneficiary
Biography
Awarded a residual interest in the compensation (after other awardees including an annuitant) for the enslaved people on Nibbs estate in Antigua as mortgagee. A codicil of 1829 to the will of Samuel Martin (q.v.) the owner of Nibbs showed him paying her 拢150 p.a., presumably reflecting the loan of 拢3000 detailed in the compensation records.
- Daughter of John Wightwick and Elizabeth (n茅e Browne), baptised Sunninghill Berkshire 1777. Anna Maria Wightwick age 63 of Chertsey was buried there 31/12/1840. Will of Anna Maria Wightwick spinster of Chertsey proved 04/02/1841. The will is short and uninformative: she left monetary legacies to a number of individuals including Samuel Martin, and made her sister Winifred her residuary legatee. The will of her father John Wightwick of Chertsey Surrey proved 20/01/1817 sheds no further light on her path to the interest in the compensation.
