Calliaqua, Saint George, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
About John
The current profile explicitly represents Robert of Montgreenan’s natural son John and reproduces the same 1803 trust clause quoted in the published family account. It is the existing destination for this record subject, not a new orphan draft. Independent verification of the trust and the inferred household relationships remains outstanding.

Identity and family
Relationship assessment — sister Amelia and housekeeper Amelia Theobalds, 30 September 2026
UCL's Legacies of British Slavery record for Amelia Theobalds distinguishes John's sister Amelia, who married Andrew Wilson in 1804 (Glasgow-3789), from his housekeeper Amelia Theobalds (Theobalds-120). This is a read-only comparison of published archival research and current public biographies. The 1803 trust's 'Emilia', the maternal claims and the inferred household relationships remain qualified; no parent-confidence change is made.
Recorded in research/latest-findings.json (30 September 2026); carried into this file on 7 October 2026.
