People of Jamaica, 1655-1855

By David Dobson

While this source book may identify a handful of Scots named in Dr. Dobson's "Scots in Jamaica, 1655-1855" [Baltimore, 2011], the individuals found in this much larger book were culled from entirely different sources and, moreover, emigrated primarily from England and, to a lesser extent, elsewhere in the British Isles. The compiler identifies each of the more than 2,000 Euro-Jamaicans in the volume by name, a date, one other point of specificity, and the source. In many instances we also learn the individual's country or locality of origin, names and relationships of kin, vessel traveled upon, occupation, college attended, or other identifying features. This compilation is based on a range of primary sources, published and manuscript, located in libraries and archives in Jamaica, England, Wales, and Scotland.
