San Andres and Old Providence are two of the islands off of Nicaragua
that at the time of your ancestor were under the control of the British
but now belong to Colombia. They were used for catching and processing
fish and turtles and are now a duty free tourism center. Most of the
population are English speaking of Caribbean descent.

Thank you for that information, Richard.? Your help is appreciated.? Do you know where St. Lucia is?? We have that on one of ancestors birth records - always thought she was born in Jamaica.

Have a nice day,
Cheryl

St. Lucia is in the Windward Islands north west of Barbados and north
of St. Vincent. It was colonized by the French but they lost the island
to the British during the French Revolution then by treaty in 1815. The
British then established a major naval base there at the port of
Castries.

The settlement history of St Lucia, particularly in the 17th century was
very unstable....there are a couple of good historical accounts on the net

The one above is basic...but a decent start if I find the others while
playing sick here today will forward them to the list

I meant to "re-label" my post on 04/11/2007 from "Re: Spam:*****,
Matthew Hatchett" to "Hodges in the Virgin Islands"
K O Kupperman mentions the transportation of the first Africans to Old
Providence in "Providence Island, 1630-1641: the Other Puritan Colony"
(1993). The white Puritans and indentured servants.felt threatened by
the arrival of several hundred slaves, so many of them were transferred
to St Kitts which had a much lower proportion of Africans until sugar
was introduced from Brazil about 1640. The Spanish captured the island
after it became a base for privateers.
I had two or three requests off-list some time ago for a list of the
original English settlers on St Kitts in 1623 (1624 by modern reckoning)
but my notes were in store. Like Thomas Warner, his wife and son, they
were all from Framlingham, Suffolk, England and were mostly merchants:
"William Tasted, John Rhodes, Robert Binns, William Bentfield, Serjeant
Jones, Mr Ware, William Ryle, Rowland Grasscock, Mr Bond, Mr Langley, Mr
Weaver, Serjeant Aplon and a sailor and a cook (both unnamed)"
Warner used the first permanent English settlement in the West Indies as
a base to seed many of their subsequent colonies..
