The Centre for the Study of the Legacies of British Slave-ownership note that an Alexander Dennistoun received £389 2s 4d compensation in 1837 for the freeing of 25 slaves in The Bahamas; it is possible, but not certain, that this was James Dennistoun of Golf Hill's son; and if so, the probability is that these were a legacy from John Thomson of Nassau to his daughter, Dennistoun's wife.
