http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/19108674

Records of sugar and livestock plantations in St. Mary's Parish, Jamaica. The material prior to 1837 is chiefly plantation records. Later papers include letters from managers of the estate to the owners describing crop conditions, trouble with freed Negroes in 1838, the importation of coolies in 1846, sugar traders' reaction to the repeal of the corn laws in that year, and plans for the erection of a Church of England chapel in 1848. The plantation records reveal the number and condition of slaves and stock, purchases of goods, accounts payable, size of crops, and sales of sugar, rum, and cattle.
