Magdalene DuBois was born in 1742. 13. Armand John DuBois was born in 1748, and seems to have been known as John.13 14. Magdalene Margaret DuBois was born on 19 February 1755, in Wilmington, North Carolina. She died in December 1827. 15. Isaac DuBois was born in Wilmington, North Carolina,14 in about 1764. He served in the Loyalist Army in North Carolina during the American war of independence. On 29 April 1779, he was promoted to Lieutenant.15 On 23 February 1783, he appeared on the payroll of the New York Volunteers (Loyalists), and his pay was 3 shillings and 8 pence a day.16 He was still a Lieutenant in the New York Volunteers, as of August 1783,17 and was on the pay list as late as 24 October 1783.18 After the war, he fled to England and tried to gain compensation for properties lost. He returned to North Carolina, and was promptly thrown in prison as a traitor, where he remained for ten months. On his release, he returned to England. He subsequently joined with John Clarkson in the Sierra Leone Company, and set out to Sierra Leone. He was married on 7 January 1793 in Sierra Leone, to Anna Maria Horwood, who was born in Bristol in 1769, the youngest of five children of Charles Horwood and Grace Roberts. The wedding certificate was signed by John Clarkson. She was the widow of Alexander Falconbridge, whom she had married at age 19.19 Falconbridge had died on 19 December 1792 in Sierra Leone. Isaac and Anna Maria DuBois left Sierra Leone on 9 June 1793, on board the ship Nassau, captained by Anna Maria's brother-in-law, Captain Morley. They sailed to Jamaica where they arrived on 13 July 1793, and disembarked slaves from Bance Island, Sierra Leone. They departed for England on 3 August 1793. In London, he was dismissed from the Sierra Leone Company. They moved to Bristol, where they are listed as living in 1795. In 1801, Isaac DuBois was briefly in Dublin, Ireland. And at the end of the year and beginning of 1802, Anna Maria, and presumably Isaac were in London. He made claims against the British government for his lost property in North Carolina, and subsequently he received two grants one for 4,000 pounds and another for 5,320 pounds against a property that was valued at nearly 30,000 pounds. In 1804, he was appointed Barrack Master at Tenterden, in Kent. Subsequently, he was appointed Comptroller of Customs in Curaçao, which had recently been occupied by the British. He was a member of the Coldstream Guards.20 On 27 May 1808, he was appointed as Collector of Customs on St. Croix, and his salary was 70 pounds and his rent was 100 pounds. He also had allowance for clerks and slaves totaling 132 pounds.21 He continued as the Inspector of Customs22 at both ports on St. Croix (Christiansted and Frederiksted) during the British possession until the end of the occupation in 1815. In 1808, he and his wife were living in Groom of the Chamber [“Kammerjunker”] Lillienschiold's house at 59 Queen Street, Christiansted, along with a white servant.23 Having been away from the island, he returned to Christiansted on 1 March 1809 from St. Thomas. 24 In 1809, he purchased estate Richmond, with 76 enslaved people from Robert Fausset, where Isaac and Anna Maria moved to live.25 They continued their residency there through the British occupation period. For instance, in late 1814, or early 1815, he was living there with his wife, along with 40 capable and 9 half grown enslaved people.26 By 1814, he had purchased estate Herman Hill, where he had a full contingent of enslaved people and two managers.27 On 13 February 1815, he was paid 5,350 [rigsdaler?] for his service as a member of the government council from 28 December 1811 to 9 October 1813.28 After April 1815, with the restoration of the islands to the Danes, he left for England, but soon returned in failing health. He and Anna Maria were resident at estate Richmond on St. Croix when the 1815 annual tax report was made, which was presumably in late 1815 or early 1816.29 On 12 January 1816, he received a Burgher Certificate, on St. Croix, as a Planter.30 On 5 December 1816, he and his family and two domestics departed Christiansted destined to St. Thomas.31 Again, they were resident at estate Richmond for the annual 1816 & 1817 tax reports.32 On 1 July 1818, Isaac and his family departed Christiansted, destined for St. John island. 33 His son, Francis was listed as the only one returning to Christiansted, on 5 December 1818, from St. Thomas.34 However, Isaac died in July 1818, on St. Croix.35 By the time of the 1818 tax report, in December[?], estate Richmond had been sold to Robert Faussett,36 or more likely, the mortgage to Faussett was in default, and the property reverted to him. Prior to DuBois’s death, on 30 May 1818, bankruptcy proceedings had begun in the St. Croix Probate court.37 By the end of 1818, Anna Maria had moved to the family owned, estate Herman Hill, where the manager was named Toddman.38 In fact, her niece, Margaret McLean, was married by the Anglican priest on 1 November 1818 at the estate to Dr. John West, a bachelor physician from Christiansted.39 The estate Herman Hill was listed as owned by the family, and it was not until 1823, that the property was transferred to Francis Blake DuBois, their son, at least as recorded in the tax list.40 [Ann Maria’s death date has yet to be discovered. It may have occurred on Tortola -SEH]
She was a resident of St. Croix, and departed with her brother, James, from Christiansted, on 24 November 1811, destined for Wilmington, [NC.]. 41 She died in 1847.
He was a resident on St. Croix, when he and his sister, Ann Jean, departed Christiansted, on 24 November 1811, destined for Wilmington, [NC]. 43 18. Francis Blake DuBois was born in London, England,44 on 27 December 1801 and christened on 18 November 1802, at St. Martin in the Fields Church, Westminster, London. He was educated in England.45 During his youth in England, he was a frequent guest in the house of Thomas Clarkson, where he met William Wilberforce and the men engaged in Anti-Slavery work.46 He seems to have come to St. Croix, upon the death of his father in 1818. He was mentioned in the tax list for estate Herman Hill, as early as 1818.47 On 1 July 1818, he was presumably among the family which departed Christiansted, destined for St. John Island. 48 He is listed as the only one returning to Christiansted, on 5 December 1818, from St. Thomas. 49 On 13 January 1823, he was granted a Burgher Certificate on St. Croix, as a Planter. 50 At about this time, he had a relationship with Ann Eliza Roebuck. She was born about 1806 and was baptized in the Anglican Church. 51 In 1831, she was listed in the Christiansted Free Colored census as a mustice [quadroon].52 In 1823, the property at estate Hermon Hill was formally transferred to his name and he continued to be resident with his mother.53 In 1824, the property was transferred to the King.54 It may have been in this year that he moved to Tortola, possibly with his mother and their private enslaved people. In about 1825, he married on Tortola, Elizabeth55 Isaacs,56 who was born on Tortola, in about 1808, and was a member of the Anglican Church.57 He became a leading man on that island for many years. Subsequently, he moved to the United States for a period of time. For instance, he is found arriving in New York in 183458 and again in 1836.59 In about 1854, he returned to St. Croix. In 1855, he was resident at estate Shoys, East End A Quarter, with his family, and was he was listed as a Planter.60 In 1860, also, he and his wife were resident at estate Shoys.61 He subsequently became the proprietor of estate Shoys.62 While he was on St. Croix, he became Chairman of the Burgher Council as well as a member of the Colonial Council, where he was a Crown Member and sometime Vice-Chairman. He was also in the Danish government, as the Inspector of King's estates and Superintendent of Immigration. In about 1869, he was appointed British Vice Consul, after the death of Consul Shaw. He died on St. Croix at his residence, estate Orange Grove, on 28 November 1876 and was buried the same day.63

Document No. 3: Obituary Died yesterday, at his residence, Orange Grove, Francis Blake DuBois, Esq., Her Britannic Majesty’s Vice-Consul for this Island. Mr. DuBois had attained the advanced age of 75 years, but was in the full possession of all his faculties at the time of his death, with his highly cultured and keen intellect entirely unimpaired. Mr. DuBois was born in England and educated there. He was the son of Isaac DuBois Esq., the Inspector of Customs at both ports in St. Croix during the English possession of this island. He was left by his father under the care of Thomas Clarkson, the well-known philanthropist. In Clarkson’s House Mr. DuBois had the opportunity of associating with some whose names are now historic, and was often the companion and play-fellow of Wilberforce’s sons and of the historian Macaulay. On the restoration of this island to the Danes at the pacification of Europe in 1815, Mr. DuBois’s father went to England, but was soon compelled by failing health to return to St. Croix, where he died. His son, the subject of this sketch, remained here a few years as a proprietor. He then left and went to Tortola, where he was married and where for many years he was one of the leading men. After the decadence of Tortola he spent some time in the United States, but finally came back to this Island, which he has seen pass through great changes. He was one of the few links that bound its present to a very different past. He has for a long time filled positions of importance in the island, having been the Chairman of the Burgher Council and member of the Colonial Council. In the latter he was a Crown Member, and for some time its Vice-Chairman. He also held under the Danish Government the offices of Inspector of King’s Estates and Superintendent of Immigration. For the last seven years he has been British Vice Consul, being appointed by the Foreign Secretary after the death of Consul Shaw. The respect felt in this community for such a man was shown last year by the immense gathering at the celebration of his golden wedding, and by the large attendance at his funeral yesterday. The last prayers of the Church were offered up at his dying bed, which was one of much suffering patiently borne, by his own son, the esteemed Rector of St. Paul’s, for whom, as well as for Mr. DuBois’s wife and daughter, deep sympathy is felt.
