Julius Caesar JULIUS [33532]

  General Notes:

Julius was a Barrister, and is said "to have gone to St Kitts" and bought estates and slaves there. As his father is believed not to have left St Kitts, it is unlikely Julius was born in England, he may however have been educated in England and visited there regularly as he is said to be an intimate friend of Charles James Fox the Whig Statesman. He was a Member of Assembly of St Pauls Parish (Cabbesterre)

Caesar Julius is mentioned as manager of John Julius sugar estate at the time of the 1772 hurricane and "loft sundry articles to the amount of 100L"
