Listers, As you all know, I'm wont to wade more than knee-deep into West Indian research, and from time to time I stumble upon information about slaves in the Caribbean. If you have more than a passing interest, send me your email address and particulars, and I'll be happy to email you when I find something. Best regards, Laura

Greetings Alba Yes the churchyard still exists. When we were filming our Jamaica sequences on the West India Regiment's role in the events at Morant Bay in 1865, we recorded pieces in front of the court house and in the churchyard. We also met and recorded an on camera interview with one of Paul Bogle's descendants - a teacher, currently living and working about two miles up the road from the court house. At her request we recorded the interview in the churchyard.

Thanks ever so much for this information now to see if my ThomasBlakely has a gravestone marker.

Hi Augusta: That isn't Tom Cringle's Cotton Tree. That famous cotton tree, which no longer exists, was located on the road between Kingston and Spanish Town, near to the Ferry Inn. There is an article about it in the series by Dr. Rebecca Tortello in the Gleaner, "Pieces of the Past", at http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/pages/history/story0020.html Thanks for the link and the photos about the Morant Bay Rebellion.

Pat Jackson has a slew of records on her site for the early spanish and french emigres who attended Holy Trinity Church. I have several Figueroas who were married there, but for burials, the name of the graveyard is not mentioned, other than one who was buried in "New West Ground" in 1850. Dorothy Kew could probably answer this one definitively......or Pat Jackson.

Does anyone know where they might have buried the Saint-Domingue refugees who worshipped in the Spanish (Catholic) chapel in Kingston (corner West & Barry Sts) from 1795-1812 (+/-)?

Alba Dunlop wrote: What a wonderful find and thanks for sharing. I am very interested in this as my half brother's grand mother lived in Morant Bay at the time of the rebellion. She was just a baby at the time but I remember the stories she told of her family being rescued by a family servant and taken to a boat in the harbour. One of her uncles were killed and her father and other uncle were wounded. They were the sons of Rev. S. H Cooke. It was a brutal time and age. If I am not mistaken Tom Cringle's tree was on the road to Spanish town and still stood in the 1950's Alba Dunlop Researching Hooper (Jamaica, Ireland and Panama), Calnek (Jamaica), Blakely (Manchioneal), Blackford (probably St Elizabeth) and Benaim (possibly Kingston). >Greetings List, I thought you might be interested in this link to photos as >described below.

Coincidentally, and interestingly, I am just now watching a programme on tv about a man investigating the legend of Timbuctu. He went into the neighbouring country of Guinea and met up with his Guinean guide, whose name was briefly flashed up on screen. I am fairly certain that that man's name was Ouellergam or something *very* similar. Make of that what you will! -- Jenny "I always like to have the morning well-aired before I get up."

Hi Laura: Thanks for posting those names. Though not necessarily anyone that I'm researching it was interesting to note some of the names. For example, the Chapman girls, daughters of Philip Chapman, a Wesleyan minister, whose widow remarried John Daughtrey. As for their two daughters, both married Anglican ministers. Elizabeth married the Rev. Enos Nuttall (note correct spelling), who eventually became Bishop of Jamaica, and Charlotte married Rev. David Brooke Panton. The Reinkes were originally from Lititz, St. Elizabeth, where there was a Moravian community. Thanks for posting these names. I hope they will of use to others who are researching those families.

Unfortunately I do not have your email address on this machine, but if it is the one in your headers (I remembered there was a number in it, grin), then I will write you. If not, then I will give a slightly coded GMail address from which I will write with my real one. In fact it would be heatherfig at the said GM address. Really nice to hear from you and I also heard from another old friend in the genealogy bliss. Cheers.....Heather

Cannot find that > name anywhere in any language and wonder if it might not be a > description of some kind. The list they appear on is quite legible. Delurking for a change....... Towards the end of the 1600's in England, they were still using Latin in the parish records and my "William" was "Guillaume", which in French would probably be pronounced as (hard G) Gwee-ome or Guy-ome. But the more I try to pronounce your Ouelleram, the more I think it is William. Just a thought.....from a Canuck, lol. Heather Figueroa.....and a big HI to all I still know on here. Coming in via the news groups so my address is munged.

I was looking at the spelling and thinking it the result of sounding out the spelling by a person not familiar with the accent of the testifier or...a clerk or deacon writing in a second language rather infirmly... Cod
