Hi Carol: There are four citations for Benjamin Scurlock on Patricia Jackson's web site, Jamaican Family Search, at www.jamaicanfamilysearch.com This is a subscription web site, but by no means expensive and very worthwhile for anyone researching in Jamaica. I found citations for Benjamin Scurlock in the parish of St. James, which is, of course, in the County of Cornwall, on the northwest side of the island, in the 1818 and 1820 almanacs, and to the heirs of Benjamin Scurlock in the 1828 Almanac. The name of his property was not named, however. In the 1824 Almanac Benjamin Scurlock is listed as one of the pilots for the harbour. His burial record should be found in the parish records for St. James on FHL film # 1224328. Hope that helps!

His will was proved in 1825. He mentions in his will the names of 4 brothers - William, John, Peter and Joseph - to whom he leaves his property and goods. He does not say where this property is. > > Benjamin SCURLOCK was formerly of Cornwall in the Island of Jamaica. I do not know how old he was when he died and would like to find this out.
