Collection: Slavery in Jamaica, Records from a Family of Slave Owners, 1686-1860 Volumes Papers relating to the title and disposal of the estate, [1686]-1861
Correspondence and accounts relating to the administration of the estate at Amity Hall, parish of Vere, Jamaica, inherited by Munbee Goulburn from his father and uncle, and settled to the trusts of his marriage settlement in 1782. After Munbee's death, intestate, in 1794, the estate, apparently heavily encumbered, was put in Chancery, and was so administered until his son, Henry, attained his majority in 1805. During this period, the family's agents in Jamaica maintained a correspondence with Mrs. Susannah Goulburn, Munbee's widow. From 1802 Henry Goulburn took an increasing part in the correspondence, and from 1805, and throughout his life (a period which included both the abolition of the slave trade, and the emancipation of slaves in the British colonies) he was in continuous, if necessarily very distant, contact with his agents and factors.
