Biography

Sarah Anna (or Ann) née Packharness or Packharnis, born Jamaica, living in England by the 1830s: with her sisters Frances Cox and Eliza Mary Markham (both of whom q.v.), Sarah Anna Parkinson was awarded the compensation for the Carlton estate in Jamaica as owners-in-fee, and in her own name she received compensation for a single enslaved person on the same estate.

Sarah Anna Parkinson was shown as the owner of one enslaved person in St Ann's, and as an absentee, in 1826, when Frances Cox filed and signed as her agent. Sarah Anna Parkinson signed at the NDO for her compensation and that of Eliza Mary Markham. No other trace of her has been found. It is conceivable that her surname 'Parkinson' is a domesticated version of Packharness or Packharnis[s].
