There seems to be a lot of confusion about the name Hamilton Brown and the place known as "The Farm" in Jamaica.
There is the partner of Mary Melvina Brown (Melvina Brown) ... who has been claimed to be the founder of The Farm -- from Ireland. His father was previously noted as Hamilton Brown Sr., but recently changed to be Charles. His profile: Hamilton Brown, II
There is the husband of Isabel Bennett / Brown (Isabel Robinson) ... who, based on children's records, was born 1836 and died 1918 and in 1894 (2nd marriage) was an Inn Keeper. His father is documented on that 1894 marriage as Charles Brown. His profile: [[Hamilton Brown, Inn Keeper
My current understanding leads me to think they are indeed two different people, and:
- that Melvina's partner was most likely to indeed be founder of "The Farm" with father Hamilton Brown of Ireland. Dates need re-examined for him (and father changed away from Charles).
- that Isabel's husband's dates are pretty well documented as 1836-1918 (although birth still need independent documentation vs. estimate on "age-at" events) -- with father Charles.
Siblings of these Hamilton Browns also need to be re-examined.
