Hello List hope all are well.it is very hot and humid here in southeastern
New York .
I am posting a research interest in
Captain James Salmond (1694-1746) and his wife Lydia Kennedy (1701-1748).
James had moved from Scotland to Antigua in 1730 where he bought two
plantations, Sage Hill and Salmond's
James Salmond mentions his purchase of Sage Hill (St Mary's Parish, Antigua)
in his will which is in "History of Antigua" by VL Oliver
He is noted receiving funds from the Jamaican Assembly for advances related
to settlers moving into the eastern area of Jamaics CO137 but there is not
detail
Im interested in any details on either James or his wife.Any reference to
which might come up on him engaged as a ship captain or merchant etc
Thanks a lot

Chris, your questions are always so interesting.
Probably you already have found this--your search skills are so superior--but just in case:
A note in Burke's peerage:
"Capt. James Salmond, b. in Antigua 1694; m Lydia, daugh. of J. Hanson Esq. and by her (b. 1701, d. 24 April 1748) had two children, William, of whom presently; and Mary, d unm. Capt. Salmond lived for a time on his estates at Seaforth, in Antigua, and afterward joined the royal forces under the Duke of Marlborough. He d. 1 Oct 1746. His son, William Salmond, Esq., b 4 Aug 1737; m 1st 22 Aug 1759. Eilzabeth daugh of J. Chalmers, Esq. of Edinburgh, and by her (who d. 18 July, 1760) had one child, Euphemia, b. 7 June 1760 . . .
https://books.google.cat/books?id=WLVCAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA1403&dq=Salmond+Indies&hl=ca&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjD4arxmp7OAhWGdSYKHR1qDFkQ6AEIhAEwDg#v=onepage&q=Salmond%20Indies&f=false
I found a reference later on (1860?) that the family were of French origin and left during the Huguenot persecutions.

Hope these are helpful.

Chris,
There is a rather interesting bio on Ancestry that includes him. Do you have access?

I haven't got a lot of information about James but my sister and I are going through a lot of really old photos at the moment and we may have found a photo of a portrait of James amongst them !
If you have access to Ancestry you could check out my family tree .. Yesterday Prince Phillip my 20th cousin's husband passed away ...
Good luck on your search ..and stay healthy .. Tim
