Bev,
I have only one reference and that is to a woman- no more details than the quote below.
Assuming she is over 21 then Mary was born before 1838.
Perhaps her father had been a 'white' soldier and the mother a native - but justguessing.
Or perhaps she was related to this entry for Barbados
quote
1834st philip barbadosslaves -Miles Brathwaite
and'Hoad' [query if a forename] age 23 black barbadian labourer.
quote...... In July 1859, another riot broke out during a court case in Falmouth. The ‘Rabble’ freed prisoners from the lock-up, assailed both police and magistrates, and stoned the houses of officials. Finally, they attacked the police station and battered in every window; twenty-two policemen holed up inside opened fire, killing two women and wounding others, one of whom later died; the deaths were ruled to be justifiable homicide.
Trials of the rioters revealed that women were prominent in the riot, including Emily Jackson,
