Thomas Arthur Forrest left when the slaves were freed, but his son Sanford/Sandford stayed. Haughton Forrest another of Thomas Arthur Forrest sons, was educated there, and came to australia to settle. We apparently had the Robins River estate/penn, Masemure Sugar Plantation [including slaves], Ragged Castle Plantation, lands at Broad Nut Hill, land at Luana, and a vineyard, [all situated in the parishes of Westmoreland and St Elizabeth]. Includes will extract of Thomas Forrest of Binfield, 1852 (D/EX 1212/1/37).] Haughton Forrest wrote that he remembered the speech his father Thomas Arthur Forrest [1808-1871] gave to the slaves before leaving. And it was one of the things in his life he was so proud of. Can you tell me who are we connected through? This is so exciting! Barb (February 19, 2009).
I want to start a plantation project on Geni.com for each plantation listed.
