HISTORICAL NOTES: The parish of St. Michael is one of eleven parishes of Barbados. It has a land area of 39 km² and is found at the south-west portion of the island. Saint Michael has survived by name as one of the original six parishes created in 1629 by Governor Sir William Tufton. The parish is home to Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados. Bridgetown is the centre of commercial activity in Barbados, as well as a central hub for the public transport network. Other major infrastructure in St. Michael is the international seaport of Barbados - the Deep Water Harbour. Therein, a number of cruise ships arrive and depart including various lines such as Royal Caribbean and Cunard. The harbour features several sugar towers for loading locally produced sugar into transport ships, and a tower for loading flour for transport. Under Barbados' historic vestry system, the main parish church (St. Michael's Cathedral) is seated along St. Michael's Row in Bridgetown. This cathedral replaced the former parish church that was formerly located at the site of St. Mary's Church. St. Michael's Cathedral's was elevated to its cathedral status under Bishop Coleridge who arrived in Barbados in 1825 under the then newly established Diocese of Barbados and the Leeward Islands.

"LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT"
County in the Province of Maryland, planter, being sick and weak of body, but of sound and perfect memory praised be Almighty God for the same and being very sensible that all men are born to dye and after that must come to Judgement, being therefore willing to settle my affairs in the world and to dispose of such estate as hath please God to bless me herewithall do make and ordain this my last will and testament hereby revoking and making void all other former wills and testaments heretofore by me made or done in manner and form following. First of all I commend my soul and spirit to the care and protection of Almighty God who gave it and my body I commit to the earth there to be decently buried at the discretion of my executors hereafter named hoping for a joyful resurrection unto eternal glory through the merits of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who with the Father and Spirit liveth and reigneth one God Blessed forever.

Imprimis: I give and bequeath unto my well beloved wife, Rachel Barron, my dwelling plantation now living upon during her natural life with house and all other stock as well as cattle as horses as hogs and all other things thereon or thereunto belonging and after my wife's decease the said dwelling plantation above named I give to my daughter Elizabeth Barron her heirs with all the stock cattle. Said as aforesaid she the said Elizabeth living with her mother and to be guided by her until she comes of age, and if my daughter Elizabeth Barron should dye without issue then the said dwelling plantation shall return to my grandson, Joseph Barron, son of John Barron, dec'd and his heirs forever: I will and hereby devise that at my wife's decease, my household stuff and furniture whatsoever be equally and justly divided between my daughter Elizabeth Barron and my son-in-law George Prouse (who was really his stepson, according to Patrick Harrison), freely and absolutely to them and their disposal:

Lastly, it is my true intent and meaning of those presents that my just debts be honestly paid and discharged at some convenient time after my decease as witnesseth my hand the ninth day of March in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred twenty four.

Signed in the presence of Thomas Wills, Henry Woods, and William Servant. Proved in court on 2 June 1725.

Joseph's estate was appraised by Mich Fletcher, John Catrop on 2 June 1726 at L 24.12.4. Kin: James and Elizabeth Merrick; creditors, Thos. Richardson, William Clayland. Proved 28 June 1726 by Rachel Barron, Administrator.
