 INTRODUCTORY NOTE.
The records of the Court of Chancery of this Island
yielding, as they do, a vast amount of interesting informa-
tion chiefly genealogical, have hitherto been an entirely

neglected field of research in Jamaica this is a matter great-
ly to be deplored for what with want of care, the accumu-
lated dust of years, damp, mildew and moths they are quick-
ly going to complete destruction, and it is for the purpose of
preserving some of the material obtained therefrom that I
have decided to publish these sketch pedigrees.
I regret that my reference cannot be more accurate by

giving the liber and folio at which the proceedings from

which the compiled pedigrees are recorded but the volumes
lack in most cases both covers and index, in fact many of the
volumes that do boast covers lack information, moths having
already been at their work of destruction by eating away
the pages
The other old records of the Island consisting of Patents
of land and of Deeds, the records of the now obsolete Court
of Ordinary (consisting of Wills, Letters of Administration
and Inventories) and the registers of births, marriages and
deaths for the various Parishes have been carefully pre-
served and are in excellent order and condition, and perhaps
the following table shewing when the dates of these registers
for the various Parishes commence may be of interest.

Parish Baptisms. Marriages. Burials.

 8;

A SHORT ACCOUNT OF JAMAICA WHEN SIR

CHARLES LITTLETON LEFT IT IN THE YEAR
1664 WHICH BY HIS MAJESTY'S COMMAND HE
PRESENTED TO THE PRIVY COUNCIL.
He left the Government in Council, who chose
the
Colonel Lynch President, to whom he also gave a commis-
sion to command all the forces, and to be a Judge of the
Courts of Justice with some Assistants.
THE SITUATION.
It lies in the Northern Latitude of 17 and 18 degrees, in
the Heart of all the Spanish Dominions and therefore fittest
to be made the se.ate for commerce and Trade and if a War
be intended it is the most advantageously seated of all the
Islands in these parts for between the East end of Jamaica
and the West of Hispaniola which is about 20 leagues dis-
tance, is the passage for all the Spaniards that Trade from
St. Domingo, Porto Rico, and the Carraccas &c., to the
Havana and all Cuba and Nova Hispania, and between the
West of Cuba, which is the Cape Antoine, and the Cape
Cattoche upon the Main (where begins the Bay of Mexico
and is but 50 leagues from Cape to Cape) is the Passage for
all the Galleons with the Plate Fleet, from Peru to come to
the Havana, where is the Rendez vous for all the King of
Spains Fleet before they pass the Gulf of Florida to return
into Europe, and between these Capes our men of war do
constantly ply, and can easily get up to Jamaica. Jamaica
is about 80 Leagues from the Main, and beareth from Rio
de Hatah N. W. 150 Leagues, From St. Marth N. N. W. 135
Leagues Rio Grand N. W. 130 Leagues Carthagena N. 144 L.
Porto Bello N. E. 6 N. 180 Leagues. From Gratias a Dios
E b. N. 80 L. The Bay of Mexico E. 130 L.
THE CONVENIENCY OF HARBOUR.
To the East lies Port Morant, 14 Leagues to Leeward is
thePoint Cagua, or Port Royal, worthily so named for the
Goodness and Largeness of the Harbour, where all the Kings
Fleet may ride, and the best of them close aboard the shore
to lade or unlade, the most securely. Here all the Mer-
chants lived as being the only place of Trade. At this
Port is the only Fort of Strength in the Island and was when
Sir Charles Littleton left it, not above one third finished,
which if faithfully laid out may be so for 2000 its built of
very good stone and irregular, when tis finished will be of
sufficient strength to secure the Harbour and to defend itself,
because it can be difficultly approached, Garrison Soldiers
being supposed to maintain it, for the Inhabitants are not to
be relied on, nor were enough to defend it, there will be


88

about 40 pieces of Ordnance upon it, and most of them very

good guns, as well Brass as Iron, this Port cannot be asssist-
ed by the Island settlements they are at so great a distance
and the way easily cut off from them, about 5 Leagues
Leeward is another Harbour called the Old Harbour which
is not easy to come into, nor so safe riding
further Leeward
is Maccary Bay where small vessels do commonly ride and
Blewfields Bay where all Ships that are Homewards bound
do commonly wood and water, and is a very good Harbour
on the North side of the Island is Port Antonio, and Rio
Novo where the Spaniards last landed with 800 men, and
fortified, but were bravely beaten out by Coll Doyley then
Governor. There is also on this side Montegua Bay and
other good Harbours.
THE STRENGTH AND NUMBER OF THE INHABITANTS AND
THEIR SETTLEMENTS.
The Regiment of Port Morant and Yellows* was com-
manded by Colonel Lynch, and was at that time the best
and richest Province.

Over the Regiment of Ligonea, which was the fastest and

strongest quarter in the Island, and also the most numerous
Colonel Barry was Colonel.

Over the Four Companies at Port Royal, Capt Jno Man

did command there being no Field Officer left.

The Regiment at the Old Spanish Town (called St.

Jago) and the Angels Old Harbour Passage Fort and Places
adjacent which was Sir Charles Littleton's Regiment Major
Fuller commanded.

At Guanna Boa and the large Precincts thereof is the

Regiment commanded by Lt Colonel Cope and Major Ivy.
There Regiments by their several lists, and the strictest
accounts could be made were judged to make in all 2500
men and the Hunters and other unsettled people not listed in
any Musters dispersed over the several Quarters some 4 or
500 more, besides women and children, of these there may be
found upon occasion some 150 on Horseback well enough
furnished, with saddles arms &c.

The Foot were very ill armed, especially with Muskets,

and Pikes, are of small use in that Place where they are not
like to deal with Horse, and the ways narrow, and full of
High Wood. What force there is, is to be dispersed, they
can but difficultly rendezvous to join in a Body.
* Yallahs.
 89

TheInterest of this Island as of all New Settlements is

daily changing Provisions and all sorts of goods of the
Country Produce being infinitely increased in that two years
space which Sir Charles Littleton stayed there, before which
time they little intended Planting or Breeding of Cattle.
The Designs of a Free Trade can hardly be effectual but
by order from Spain nor the Privateers called in, but (and
that difficultly) by Frigates from England, the English being
grown so hateful to the Spaniards in those parts, they would
scarce receive the very Friars and other Prisoners were sent
home to them. We had then in their coasts about 14 or 15
Sail of Privateers, in them 1500 or 2000 Seamen, few of which
take Order but from stronger Men of War and as it hath been
always their trade and livelihood, and they being of several
Nations, if we forbid them our Ports they will go to others,
to the French and Dutch, and find themselves welcome
enough.
The Government of the Island was plain and agreeable,
so were the Laws and Execution neither Merchants or Plant-
ersseemed dissatisfied every Cause or Law suit being deter-
mined in 6 weeks with 30 or 40 charges.
The People were generally easy to be governed yet
rather by Persuasion than severity. The attemps by Captain
Minors upon the Spaniards and Privateering had lett out the
many ill Humours, and those that remained were in ways of

thriving, and by that mode peaceable and industrious.

 PART IV.
PROPOSITIONS FOR THE SPEEDY SETTLING OF
JAMAICA.
 93

PROPOSITIONS FOR THE SPEEDY SETTLING OF

JAMAICA.
Imprimis.
That His Majesty be pleased by His Royal Proclamation
to declare this Island to belong to the Crown of England,
and that he holds himself obliged to protect his good sub-
jects there, in their Possessions and Estates, and in their
Laws and just Liberties as fully and amply as the subjects of
any other His Majesty's Realms and Dominions and that he
nor his Successors will impose any Tax Talliage Cost Subsidy
Loan or any other charge upon them without the consent of
the Major Part of the Representatives of the Freeholders of
that his Island according to their usual manner (by his Royal
Writs) assembled.
ITEM.
That it may be lawful for His Majesty's Authority here
to admit any Persons of what Nation soever with their
Families to settle and plant in this Island, and that for their
Encouragement the Governor and Council may have full
power to naturalize them for this Island only, whereby they
may enjoy only within the same Laws Liberties and Privi-
leges of natural born Englishmen.
Item.
That His Majesty be pleased to continue the allowance
of Liberty of Conscience, and a free exercise of Religion to
all Persons settled there, according to their several Persuasion
in the same manner as by His Majestys Grace, now they en-
joy the same.
These three being granted, and sufficiently manifested to
the World will be Encouragement enough to gain Inhabitants
hither for the Goodness of the Soil is now so well known that
there will need no other Invitation but the above Assurance
of Protection and Freedom &c.

Item.
That all prudential means be used to encourage the
Scots to come hither and being very good servants, and to
prevent them from going to Poland and other Nations where-
by they are absolutely lost to His Majestys service which as
in that, so in all other His Majesty's Dominions is of great-
est importance, for could the Increase of His
Majestys native subjects be made Artificiers at Home or sent
to His Majesty's Foreign Plantations abroad, all sorts of
Commodities and Merchandize would be so plentiful and
cheap as that the unusual Trade would be scarcely restored to
our Nation without a blow.


ft4

Item.
For the Further Increase of His Majesty's subjects We
may have License gratis, or at some moderate Rates to trade
for Negroes in Affrick, giving security to carry them to no
other Market but this.

Did those Honourable Persons which make that Roval

Company so glorious, but fall into consideration how much
more His Majesty's Interest to increase the numbers of
it is

his subects, than Bullion of Gold or Silver (which by law all

Nations may import) they would not only freely consent to
this Proposal for us, but for the whole Nation and Foreigners
also

Mankind the principal, Gold the Accessory increase

is
the
and the other must follow I (for
my twenty-four years experience in the Indies) affirming that
Barbados had never rise to that Perfection we have lately
seen it in, had it not been lawful for Dutch, Hamburghers
our own whole Nation and any other to bring and sell them
Blacks or any other Servants in their Infancy.
Item.
That we may have a Coin allowed us either by a Mint set
up here with HisMajestys Directions for its weight and Alloy
or the like in England for coining such gold and silver as
shall be by Order of the Persons interested in
this Place, with a particular mark on it and Power to export
it, or if neither of these may be permitted that our Agent
may have License to export to this Island, so much of the
now English coin, as we import Bullion otherwise we shall
have no true measure of Things, and be very much impeded
and embroiled in our Trade which the jealous Spaniard
allows in the Indies, as essentially necessary to their traffic,
though in most other things he be austerely reserved in his
no small Prejudice.
Lastly That the Laws made by the Assembly here long
since sent to the late Lord Chancellor, to be presented
home
to His Majesty for His Royal Assent, may be returned hither
confirmed by His Majesty under the Great Seal, or at least
so many of them as His Majesty shall approve of.

REPORT BY THOMAS MODYFORD TO THE LORD
SIR
ARLINGTON, DATED 23RD SEPTEMBER 1670.
SIR THOMAS MODYFORD TO THE LORD ARLINGTON.
JAMAICA
23rjd September 1670.

May it please Your Lordship.

By the extraordinary diligence of His Majesty's

Receiver General I have recovered the promised Survey the
which I could wish were perfect, however this will give Your
Lordship some Light of this place, which I hope betwixt this
and March to reduce to a more certainty, as is the promise.

Your Lordship will find great quantities of land granted

to some persons among whom my Son 6,000 acres whose
name I made use of for myself having about 400 Persons in
Our Family and so but one half acre due. 5,000 to Capt.
Noy which is the Wast Land by the Sea Side, most part
covered with Salt Water where is a very hopeful work be-
gan for Salt etc.

There is 3,200 to one Styles, who never had hands pro-

portionable, nor ever will as I judge, but the reasons of it
was that within a year of my coming he made oath His
Majesty had granted a Privy Seal for that Quantity which he
had lost by the War and faithfully promised to stock it
which being when nobody would take lands I granted it
and desire Your Lordship to direct my on to search the
Privy Seal Office, whether there be any such grant.

to the rest the Proportion of Hands is not wanting or

As
for security and in the whole grant added together Your
its
Lordship will find double the number. I humbly beg Your
Lordship's excuses for the Haste and that you would be
pleased to own me.

Your most faithful and obedient servt.,

THOS. MODYFORD.

We likewise calculate the privateers Hunters Sloop and boats

many which ply about the Island and are not reckoned in any
of the above parishes to be at least 2500 able lusty men. The
four Parishes on the Northside viz St. Georges, St, M irys, St.
Anne's and St. James and the leeward most Parish St. Eliza-
beth hath not been yet collected as not worth it, by

reason of its distance

and new settlements where
we find about 20000 acres patented
and calculate there cannot be
less than 1500 people 20000 1500

209020H 717 1 1 898

More we calculate of persons
in the towns of Port Royal and St.
Jago to be no less than men women
and children 3300

1 5 198
The Receiver General hath not received any rent these
two years it not being worth the going so far for every year,
the last collection amounting to but 151 9/- whereof some
being for 3 and some two years But now this Michaelmas
he begins to collect for 2 years and is ordered at the same
time to take an exact account of all the persons in every
Family, which with the Rentall (when finished) shall be pre-
sented for His Majestys view, and we are confident will
amount to one half more at least than the above calculation
this being guessed at according to the last collectio:i made
2 years since.
Commodities which this Island produceth with a calcu-
lation of the Quantities of some of them
Here are 57 Sugar Works which may produce yearly
1710 thousand weight of sugar, those still increasing, and
others a going up.
Also 47 Cocoa Walks which may yield 188000 pound
weight of nuts in seasonable years, these improving, and
many young walks planted, which will very speedily
produce.
Also 49 Indigo works which may produce about 49000
weight of Indigo p. annum, to which many more works are
daily adding.

Three salt Ponds containing 400O and odd acres under

the management of Capt. Noge yielded this year about lOOOQ


132

Bushels he affirming to have been able to make as many

tuns, if he could have had vent for it.
The Mountains are full of Pumento also Jamaica Pepper
everywhere, and some have planted it, so that if there were
encouragement there might be yearly sent of about 50000
weight.
Here is also an undestroyable quantity of Fustick,
Brasiletto, Lignum Votae, Ebony, sweet smelling and other
curious woods for several uses of which great quantities are
daily exported.
We have also Anotto by the Spaniard called Acheot
began to be made which we expect will prove a great com-
modity.
We have also Vanillious, China Roots, Cassia Fistula
and Tamarinds, which the Planters do endeavour to encrease
they being very good Drugs.
We find the land very good for cotton and Tobacco but
the other Commodities being more staple and profitable very
few busy themselves with it
We have large Savannas, and now great stocks of Cattle
which we judge have increased within these six years
from 60 tame cattle to 60OO.
Sheep goats and tame Hogs great Plenty, so that we are
past all Danger of Want, and hope in a short time to be able
to furnish the ships homewards bound.
