The Colbeck estate is not in Scotland, but rather was in St Dorothy, Jamaica. It was owned by John MacLeod of Colbeck (the elder) in the mid-18th century, who, when he died in 1775, owned 417 slaves, of whom 198 were listed as male and 219 as female. 84 were listed as boys, girls or children. The inheritance went to his son, also John MacLeod of Colbeck, In 1782 MacLeod married his first cousin Jane (or Jean), daughter of Malcolm MacLeod of Raasay. They had children, one son, Barlow, and five daughters. Barlow and the four elder daughters died unmarried, the fifth, Susan, married Mr. Andrews and had two sons, Hastings (buried at Canterbury) and Greville.
