1789 [EA] - 1820 [LA] → Owner
John Gardner Milward likely owned Mount Pleasant earlier than 1789. The earliest piece of evidence linking Milward to Mount Pleasant was a letter dated 12 July 1789, written by Ann Brodbelt to her daughter Jane. The Brodbelts and the Milwards were connected through marriage. Milward died in 1822 however Mount Pleasant continued to be listed as part of his 'estate' in the Jamaica Almanacs up until the 1829 edition which was based on the givings in for the 1828 March quarter. Mount Pleasant was next listed in the 1832 Jamaica Almanac, which was based on the 1831 March quarter, as under the ownership of Samuel Mendes. |
