This is possibly the father (or other relation) of Henry Dummett born c. 1808 in Barbados and described as a West Indian proprietor and living in 1851 at 7 Sydney Place, Bathwick Somerset with his wife Mary E. (born c. 1804) and daughter Elizabeth E. Reece (born c. 1833). Both Mary and Elizabeth were also born in Barbados. Dummett, in evidence to the Evidence to the Select Committee on Sugar and Coffee Planting in 1848, said that he had left Barbados around 1846, that he was a native of the island (p. 211) and that he was only in Barbados during the time of slavery as a young and inexperienced man. He also said that he was not engaged in sugar planting. (qq. 7366-8, p. 213)
