Notes |
|
This estate and the enslaved people upon it were owned by Abraham Phillips from at least 1810 to 1817. On the death of Philips the estate and enslaved people passed to Judah Phillips Levy. By 1826, Peter Breakenridge had bought the land but not apparently the enslaved people. Those settled on Phillip's Valley in 1823 probably moved to one of Judah Phillips Levy's other estates - Montpelier, Carlsruhe, Pond Piece or Trafalgar, all in Port Royal. Entries in the slave registers for 1817, 1820 and 1823 are assumed to be for Montpelier, Pond Piece, Carlsruhe and Phillips Valley. See JA10905 where these entries are listed under Montpelier estate and where the almanacs give the names of all the estates collectively. |

[Name] Philips's
Tentatively identified as Philips's, plotted on Robertson's 1804 map of Jamaica. Note this may instead by Mountpelier but has been plotted as Phillip's Valley as this estate is larger than Mountpelier and only one estate is identified on the 1804 map as belonging to the Phillips family.

Peter Breakenridge registered these enslaved people as the 'owner.' The estate is not named but the figures for the enslaved and named individuals associated with the estate match the details given in the Jamaica Almanac for Phillip's Valley when you combine all the entries made in the Slave Register by Peter Breakenridge.
