John Alves

William's son, John (1802-57), is recorded as being present at the flogging of a slave in 1827. At emancipation he received compensation for ownership of a relatively small number of slaves and by 1837 he was back in England, where he married Susan Barclay Fraser, the daughter of Simon Fraser of Kilmorack and widow of Wolfert Katz.

The couple retuned to Berbice and in 1841 they were living at plantation Belair on the West Coast (National Archives of Guyana, 1841 Census). John Alves died in Georgetown on 31 August 1857 [Hampshire Chronicle, 10 October 1857]. When his wife died in 1874 she was described as the 'relict of John Alves Esq, Rose Hall, Berbice'. Their son, also John, was also active in Guiana, but died at sea on his way to Demerara in 1882.
