Notes

A sugar estate in St James, Jamaica, until the creation of Trelawny in 1770.

Owned by John Blagrove the elder and bequeathed to his son Thomas in 1755. However, Thomas died before probate was granted and the estate passed to Thomas's son John Blagrove the younger, a minor at the time. In 1818 the estate was sold to Frederick Richard Coore, Blagrove's son-in-law. In the early 1820s, Coore purchased c. 70 enslaved people from Saughie Glen estate in St James and moved them to Pembroke.

Estate accounts for Pembroke 1756-1775 are held at the Royal Bank of Scotland Archives, 'Papers of John Blagrove (1753-1824), West Indian plantation owner, regarding estates in Jamaica', held at the Royal Bank of Scotland Archives, http://archiveshub.ac.uk/data/gb1502-gm/443 [accessed 01/07/2016].
