Biography

Probably Eliza Hammond, daughter of Frances [Ripley] Edie a free quadroon by William [sic - probably James] Hammond, born 02/01/1811 and baptised 20/04/1811 in Kingston. Her mother inherited a life interest in a quarter share in Hermitage estate in St Andrew and a half share in Tower Hill in St Andrew which was to be passed to Eliza Hammond, her brother James Hammond and half-brother Francis Ripley Groom on the death of their mother.

In 1832, Frances Ripley Edie registered 8 enslaved people in Port Royal as guardian to James Hammond, Elizabeth Hammond and F. R. Groom, recently removed from Kingston. The register was signed by Joseph Matheson.

Between 1829 and 1832, Elizabeth Hammond purchased four female enslaved people from the St Andrew workshouse. She signed the 1832 slave register by mark.
