Arthur Holdsworth merchant of Dartmouth, Devon, was an investor in annuities secured on 'slave-property'. He was among a group of individuals purchasing, for a total of 拢15,000, annuities from John Mills secured on the latter's estates and enslaved people on Nevis in 1774, when for 拢550 he bought an annuity of 拢50 p.a. shown as on the life of his daughter Elizabeth Holdsworth aged 8 but probably also on a second life omitted from the deed. In a second such investment, he was among a group of 16 annuitants created in 1775 when each purchased an annuity from Jacob Kladen (q.v.) secured on Kladen's St Vincent property, including named enslaved people, to raise 拢11,000. Holdsworth purchased an annuity of 拢50 p.a. in common with almost all the other subscribers.
