Thanks, OC. I don't think the Hawke family are on the side of the family that I'm looking at, though.
Just found this:
Monumental Inscriptions in St Kitts
White marble ledger on brick vault:#
Here lyeth Interr'd the Body of
JOHN HELDEN Son of JOHN HELDEN of
this Island Esqr who departed
this life the 7th of June 1722 Aged
2 Years 2 Months and 19 days
The father aged 31 in 1707-8, was Member of Council and Collector of the Customs, left this Island in 1730 and died at Egham, co Surrey 11 Feb 1738, where there is his vault. Mary, his wife, was heiress and Executrix of Mrs Frances Bladen who was niece and heiress of Col Joseph Jory of Nevis and widow of the Rt Hon Col Martin Bladen, MP, a commissioner of trade and plantations.
