Jamaica St James 657 (Rose Hall Estate)

Not listed in Parliamentary Papers.

T71/873: claim by Wm. Miller, as receiver in Palmer vs Montague. Counterclaim from Rebecca Ann Weeks, of England, as annuitant under a marriage settlement by the will of Jno Palmer (deceased). No note of award to Court.

B.W. Higman, Plantation Jamaica 1750-1850: capital and control in a colonial economy (Mona, Jamaica, University of West Indies Press, 2005) p. 159: adds 'Hawthorn & Shedden' in brackets after Rose Hall, but it is in the context of 'supplies', so Hawthorn & Shedden apparently were agents not owners (Higman is aware of receivership).
