Hello Lori A branch of my family, John M(a)cPhail emigrated to Jamaica in 1840. One of his descendants, Dr. David Paterson, who also lives in Australia, did considerable research in Jamaica. Go to David's "The HALLS of JAMAICA" web site, at URL: http://www.clanphail.org/UFT/html/JAMAICA/INDEX.HTM Maybe you might find some useful information there. Let me know if this helped you. Bye for now...
