Notes |
|
Kendall appears in the Jamaica Almanacs of 1811, 1812 and 1816 registered to David Shakespeare, Arthur Shakespeare and then David Shakespeare again. There are two Kendall separate Kendall estates in the Almanacs of 1820, 1822 and 1823, each registered to different people. It's not clear whether or not these two estates were formed from splitting the original one. The enslaved people on Kendal owned by David and Arthur Shakespeare were bought by Neil Malcolm between 1817 and 1820 and moved to New Paradise Estate. See also New Paradise Estate, Kendal (2) and Kendal Settlement. |
