Registered to Robert Hamilton and others. NB This entry for Norbrook in the 1820 Jamaica Almanac appears anomalous, as does the entry in the same JA for Hamilton, shown against Dudley Long North. Hamilton's estate was shown before and after 1820 as owned by the Hamilton family; Norbrook before and after 1820 against members of the Long family. LBS' tentative conclusion is that either the 1820 Jamaica Almanac or the transcription of it transposed the owners of Hamilton's and Norbrook.
