Description Reports death of their brother, John, in Demarara [Demerara, now part of Guyana in South America]; was buried by the Belfast sugar merchant community there. Painting business was good: "Trade is verry good with us we have several good jobs on hand we have got the Commercial Buildings which is equal to 6 of the largest in Belfast, which is allowed to be the handsomest Building in the 3 kingdoms".
