Guanaboa [ Jamaica | St Catherine ]

Cope Freeman bequeathed an estate at Guanaboa in his will proved 1734, evidently as owner. This estate passed to John Cope Freeman. It is not clear whether the estate associated with Peter Beckford was the same estate.

- 1734 [EY] → Not known
Mountain River Estate [ Jamaica | St John ]

In his will proved in 1734, Cope Freeman left an estate called Mountain River to his son Guy Freeman. Cope Freeman had other property in St John, so it is possible that the estate he left was this one. However, Mountain River shown as in St Catherine owned by Grace Harrison Ayscough appears to be the same estate as that later owned in St John by her husband David Robert Michel.
