Origins of Jamaica Towns - Help

[TDowl]

Thanks, I will pursue this lead, I have seen births for Flint River recorded(low 1800), therefore they are saying the slave plantation has village/town status.

I have been going by that place from early 50' and as never observe any activity to say it's a town, matter of fact I spoke to a Public Health Inspector during the late 40' who can't recall Flint River as a village.

I am not sure if they have ever done a significant research on that Plantation.

Here is a good link, rivers that sinks etc..http://books.google.com/books?id=-Lw...amaica&f=false

As you mentioned "Records of Births and Deaths" here is a great site that was recently brought to my attention by a retired UWI Mona librarian friend - https://familysearch.org/

So far I have been able to trace some of my relatives going back to the 1800s. Hopefully I shall be able to go even further backwards.

Stonigut mentioned Issac Jackson as a former owner of the property. Maybe you would find some interesting facts.

Actually Karl, I meant to say that is where the gold is, this guy was a prolific writer, apparently there are hundreds of pieces of written correspondence that are in a collection, just google him and you will see a ton of stuff.

I am using that LDS very useful, especially if you can speak to someone who are in their 80's that is willing to fill in the gaps.....

I will try the Gleaner archives for Isaac Jackson...did you know that Donalva is carried as Mt Hannah, Cascade as Brownsville?

I can speak to Cascade - Still 'carried' as Brownsville.
