to restore or make satisfaction for the same Willoughby was further 

 commanded to restore the fort to whomsoever should exhibit the King's 

 warrant to that purpose. 



At the same time an order was sent to the British governor of the 

 fort at Surinam to at once hand it over to the Dutch. 



Iu July Willoughby wrote that many from Surinam were settling at 

 Antigua. 



From the 1st February, 16 6 7-8, the government of the fort and 

 colony was put by Lieutenant- General Willoughby into the hands of 

 Ser»eant-Major James Banister, "the only remaining eminent person, a 

 rational geutleman, and of loyalty and resolution sufficient to have sup- 

 ported a more real and solid interest." 



What had become of Colonel Samuel Barry is not evident. He had 

 probably spent the following years in Jamaica. By his will, dated 

 London, 1688, he, describing himself as of the island of Jamaica, 

 " being weak and sick in body, both of perfect mind and memory," 

 stated that he had already made settlements of the greater part of the 

 estate in Jamaica. Anything over was to go to his wife Elizabeth Barry. 

 Three hundred thousand pounds was due to him from the estate of Sir

In May, 1668, Major William Nedham went with a commission from 

 Willoughby to make war on the Arawaks in Surinam. He was seized by 

 the Dutch and sent to Zealand. In March, 1669, Nedham and twenty 

 others petitioned the King for redress. He later settled in Jamaica and 

 was member of the Assembly for " Sixteen Mile Walk " iu 1672 and later 

 for St. Catherine and St. George, and Chief Justice in 1718. He was

Because Banister insisted that the terms of agreement made between 

 Byam and Crynsens in 1667 should be adhered to, the Dutch did not 

 allow him to sell his properties, and seized 9,500 lbs. of his sugar, and 

 sent him a prisoner to Zealand. 



About this time some of the British in Surinam wished to go to
