Shown as owner of Southfield in St Elizabeth. It appears likely that the Mary Bromfield who owned Southfield was the heir, possibly widow, of Andrew Bromfield (q.v.) who died in 1807 and who had married Mary Parchment, whose family were the previous owners of Southfield. The Mary Bromfield who was daughter of Edward Mullings (q.v.) and "free Negro" Susanna, married to John Frederick Bromfield, appears to have been a different woman.
