James Robertson's 1804 map had a reference to 'Hanson's' in St. Catherine. The map used both the names of plantations as well as the surnames of plantation owners to mark the various properties on the map. The property marked as 'Hanson's' was in close proximity to Great Salt Pond, the topographical feature which the property took its name from. There were a number of properties in the area which used the name Salt Pond making it more difficult to ascertain which property was Hanson's. In November of 1801 Lady Nugent's journal refers to John Hanson as 'of Salt Pen' and refers to an occasion when 'General N. rode to Mr. Hanson's Penn'.
