Mrs S. F. Hodges

Sarah Frances Hodges’s husband, William Hodges (d.1841), was a London merchant and creditor of D.H. Rucker & Co. Rucker & Co were the mortgagees of Michael White senior (UCL Department of History, ‘Michael White II’, in UCL Department of History (ed.), Legacies of British Slave-ownership [online], London 2020, <https://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/person/view/702> accessed 2 August 2021), the owner of the Sharpe’s and Petit Bordelle estate on St Vincent, and in 1831 Hodges took over the mortgage deeds from them as security for a £7000 loan. He later claimed the compensation for this estate. In his will he left legacies on a sliding scale to his two sisters, annuities to uncles and aunts, and the remainder of his estate to his wife.

No known connections with abolition.
