Notes |
|
This estate was a pen. It was owned in conjunction with Great Valley, which was a sugar estate. It is assumed that the marking of Canoe Valley as a sugar estate in James Robertson's map of 1804 was a reference to Great Valley sugar estate; hence Canoe Valley in James Robertson's map is given the reference JA2106. |
