"During Eliott's absence in Gibraltar - and also after his return when he live mainly in London - the family association with Bayley Park [now Heathfield Park] was maintained by his daugher Anne who in 1776 become the second wife of John Trayton Fuller...Eliott paid a dowry of £3000, and promised a further similar sum on his death, in the meantime making a substantial loan of £15,000 to his son-in-law. The newly-married couple move into Bayley Park where they had seven children in quick succession- Augustus Eliot (June 1777), Elizabeth Ann (July 1780), Francis John (March 1782), Sarah Maria (April 1783), Thomas Trayton (February 1785), William Stephen (March 1788) and Rose Henry (March 1789).

Joseph Jekyll was one of the few successful Welsh politicians of his age. Though often thought of as a lightweight, he nonetheless became Solicitor- General and was universally thought of as a wit and pleasant dining partner. Although by no means an active abolitionist, well before his parliamentary career began he wrote The Life of Ignatius Sancho, the work for which he is best remembered now. On this page I give a biography of Jekyll, the author through whom we have learned most of what we know about Ignatius Sancho.
We know very little about the early life of Joseph Jekyll. He was born around 1753, the only son of Edward Jekyll, a captain in the Royal Navy, and was a great-nephew of the famous Sir Joseph Jekyll who had been prominent during the ministry of Sir Robert Walpole. We do not know where he was born, although some eighteen years later his father was described as living at Haverfordwest in the then rather remote county of Pembrokeshire, in south-west Wales. This description is available to us through the records of Christ Church college at Oxford where Jekyll matriculated in February 1771 at the age of eighteen years. He graduated Bachelor of Arts in 1774. Almost immediately afterwards he left the country to live in France for a year, a period of his life which is well documented because his letters to his father have been preserved and were published in 1894, edited by Algernon Bourke.
