B.W. Higman, Plantation Jamaica 1750-1850: capital and control in a colonial economy (Mona, Jamaica, University of West Indies Press, 2005) p. 159: adds 'Hawthorn & Shedden' in brackets after Rose Hall, but it is in the context of 'supplies', so Hawthorn & Shedden apparently were agents not owners (Higman is aware of receivership).
