In Response To: Mrs. Elton linked to the slave trade? ()
] I remember reading something a while ago suggesting that Mrs. Elton, of Emma , was probably from a family of slave-traders.
Mrs. Elton was Augusta Hawkins from Bristol, and I believe John (?) Hawkins was a notorious slave trader based in Bristol.
