Roger Hope Elletson returned to Jamaica and is recorded as the owner of an estate called "Merrymans Hill" in St Andrew, Jamaica, which spanned 600 acres. By 1753, he "owned" 93 enslaved people.[1] In the 1760s his brother and his mother died, leaving him in possession of the Hope Estate.
Elletson died when on a visit to Bath, England in 1775.[1] He was survived by his wife Anna, who inherited the Hope Estate.
