Notes

Tentatively identified as 'Longlands' on Robertson's 1804 map of Jamaica. Langland owned both Roseberry and the Hermitage, Roseberry being a coffee plantation and the Hermitage a cattle pen. Of the two 'Longlands' on the 1804 map, one is in a valley (assumed to be the pen) and the other in the mountains (assumed to be the coffee plantation).
