Notes
Caroline is definitely the daughter of John but the link with Amelia and Laurentia is yet to be proven.
All are born in Surinam
Amelia and Laurentia are sisters and Laurentia is married to Charles Stewart Drewry.
Laurentia and Charles Stewart name their firstborn son William Tillotson
after a beloved brother who died in 1835.
Caroline marries Richard Hardinge Stewart and they name their second son 'Henry Tillotson' combining the names of two of Charles's brothers.
Moreover, Caroline and Richard name two of their daughters 'Amelia' and 'Laurentia'.
The coincidence of the childrens' names have led me to assume that Caroline and Laurentia must be related and are probably close sisters. One would assume Caroline to be the elder since Laurentia starts her family ten years after Caroline starts hers.
Additional Notes
A document of the 'Current Prices of Commodities‚ Rates of Exchange &c‚ In the Colony of Surinam' is signed by John Buschman on the First Day of May 1805.
A British Admiralty document dated 29 Oct 1812, records the commissioning of the Private ship of Mr John Buschman, called the "John Buschman", during the 1812-1815 War with The USA.
