Henry went out to Jamaica 'about October 1773'. "Members of his mother's 
family had been established there since the '45 and were now prosperous"

He owned an estate called Baulk and became a member of the House of 
Assembly" (W.B. p. 179) 

[The three sons of Thomas Wedderburn 'of Cantra' (younger brother of the 
executed 5th Bt. of Blackness & of Robert Wedderburn 'of Pearsie'): 
Alexander (b. 1741 at 'Grange Hill'); John (b. 1743 at Forres, 
Morayshire) and James (b. 1751, at Inverness), all went out to Jamaica 
as well. - Alexander went there in the spring of 1760 "staying on his 
way South with his uncle 'Pearsie'….but four years later died, 
unmarried, at Bluecastle, in the parish of Westmoreland, Jamaica. (W.B. p. 342)

[There is no mention in either the W.B. or Burke's Peerage that Henry 
had been married previously, but the Will of his cousin, James 
Wedderburn (b. 1751, d. 1797) indicates that he had a wife (and 
children) while he was living in Jamaica (although, in a Codicil, 
written in 1792, James also left legacies 'in the event of his marriage' 
to Henry's eldest son and eldest daughter yet to be born - on the rather 
curious 'express condition' that Henry should marry within three years 
of the date of the Codicil 'C' - i.e. by 30 April 1795.)] - Henry & Mary 
had 4 sons & 8 daughters, of whom only one son, the youngest, Frederick, 
b. 1808, survived, and only one daughter, the 7th, Mathilda, b. 1803 
(q.v.), had children. (W.B. p. 181)]
