• Notes

  All the members of the Leslie family of Barbados were from the Leslie's of Kincraigie, Scotland according to Claude Henry Forte in the early 1900s. (F-604) According to Nigel Forte, parents of William are John Leslie and his second wife. John is listed in the 1679 Barbados Census records. Captain John Leslie lived in Barbados, St. Johns parish in 1679/80 owning 55 negroes, 4 bought servants and 60 acres of land. Several Estwickes served under him. Probably this John Leslie is the John that helped take the census for St. John's Parish in 1679. He is also the probable father of John Leslie who was baptized Oct. 3, 1678 in St. John's Parish. (F-397) On May 12, 1703, a John and William Leslie witnessed a deed for William Marshall and Martha Mills, widow of St. Joseph Parish. (F-309) John could be a parent or brother to our William. He is named as the brother-in-law to William Collymore in William's 1705 will. On July 2nd 1726, William Leslie, of St. Johns Parish received slaves from Enoch Grettan, Samuel Forte, & Jane his wife (formally called Jane Gretton-sister of Enoch Gretton and Enoch Forte), son of Samuel Forte and Jane his wife. v. 36, p.83 (F-309-310) William was a member of the Council of the Island of Barbados. (F-458) He held the title of the Honorable William Leslie. (F-462) He was Colonel of the Militia and a descendant of the Leslies of Scotland. (F-462)
