John Penrice

Captain in the King’s 15th Hussars.

Married Maria Catherine Jarrett (1799–1867), whose father had inherited the Orange Valley estate in Jamaica from his father (entailed).

According to LBS, ‘From Herbert Newton Jarrett’s will proved in 1830, the couple appear to have sold back to Herbert Newton Jarrett III before his death the one-thirtieth interest in Orange Valley which he had settled on them in 1816’. (UCL Department of History, ‘Herbert Newton Jarrett III’, in UCL Department of History (ed.), Legacies of British Slave-ownership [online], London 2020, <https://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/person/view/2146644227> accessed 5 August 2021.)

No known connection with abolition.
