ABSTRACTS OF JAMAICA WILLS, 1625-1792, IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM. East Ardsley, Yorkshire, Eng.: E.P. Microform; 1972. 1 microfilm reel. (British records relating to America in microform).
This collection of 312 abstracts of wills of English colonists or landholders in Jamaica during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was abstracted by Verona I.C. Smith (Mrs. Sidney Smith). Her collection spans the rise and maturation of the Jamaica sugar industry and constitutes a prime source for the social historian. Most of the testators were big planters or merchants. The wills record the names of the testator, beneficiaries, executors, and witnesses, the date of the will, the residence and occupation of the testator, and the disposition of the estate. The wills throw light on the social composition of the Jamaican planter class, its wealth and familial ties as well as on race relations in colonial Jamaica.
NOTES: A description of contents and arrangement is at the beginning of the reel. An index is at the end of the reel.
