- He was recommended for the Council on Jan. 30, 1700. (F-161) I've estimated his age from his marriage record. He is listed as a friend of Richard Haynes and was called Major Christopher Estwicke in Haynes' will dated 1696 in St. John's Parish, Barbados. He died young and wrote his will on Aug. 13, 1705 in St. John's Parish, Barbados. His will lists 2 daughters and one son underage and names his sister, Elizabeth, wife of Samuel Forte, Sr. His own title at that point was listed as Esquire of Barbados.
