I (obviously) do not have access to archives in Jamaica, but this doesn't sound like a very notable person. I can't find any more sources than those on the page, and it seems to me that we would need more of a biography than apparently exists for this person to meet the GNG. I don't think that being wealthy is enough, but I'm interested to hear why I am wrong if others have a strong !keep argument.

 * Comment just to note that the previous AfD discussion was about a different person with the same name and the page was deleted long before the current one was created. JMWt (talk) 21:36, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete -- It is always difficult to judge from a stub, but I find it hard to believe that any individual planter is notable, unless he did something else that is notable. The sole source seems to be a database of slave owners and relatives.  I see little prospect of this ever becoming more than genealogy.  Peterkingiron (talk) 13:59, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete The linked will is interesting, but there don't seem to be other sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BruceThomson (talk • contribs) 10:10, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
