EXCERPTS FROM THE SLAVE REGISTERS

NATIONAL ARCHIVES, LONDON

CONTRIBUTED by Jeanne A. Smith, MD

The National Archives in London, (also known as the Public Record Office), is the repository for numerousrecords concerning the West Indies, and Jamaica in particular. These records include wills, manumissions,correspondence, proclamations, slave registers and other transactions. I had the opportunity recently to visit thearchives and review a small portion of the myriad records which they have. My interest was in tracing myancestors back to the slavery days thus I was particularly interested in the Slave registers (T71 series).

I also looked at the Colonial Office correspondence related to apprenticeships, (the compulsory period of servicewhich followed the abolition of slavery in 1834) and found in CO137/231-232 a series entitled “DespatchesApprentices 1838". The proclamation which follows advises the former slaves that the period of apprenticeshipwould end in 1838 instead of 1840. Readers of the history of slavery in the West Indies know that many of theislands did not enforce the requirement for an apprenticeship, considering it impractical and unenforceable. TheJamaican planters insisted on an apprenticeship period, but soon discovered that it was unmanageable, and thusthe legislation to end the apprenticeship in August 1838, although one would never know from this proclamationthat there had been any problems1.

By his Excellency Sir LIONEL SMITH, Knight commander of the most honorable military order of the Bath,Knight grand cross of the Royal Hanoverian order, a Lieutenant-General in her Majesty's land forces, andColonel of the Fortieth Regiment of Foot, Captain-General, Governor-in-chief, and Commander of the forces inand over Her Majesty's Island of Jamaica, and other territories thereon depending in America, Chancellor andVice-Admiral of the same.

PRAEDIAL APPRENTICES

IN a few days more you will all become FREE LABOURERS the legislature of the island having relinquishedthe remaining two years of your apprenticeship

The 1st of August next is the happy day when you will become free under the same laws as other freemenwhether white, black or coloured.

I, your GOVERNOR give you joy of this great blessing.



Remember that in freedom you will have to depend on your own exertions for your livelihood, and to maintainand bring up your families, You will work for such wages as you can agree upon with your employers.

It is their interest to treat you fairly

It is your interest to be civil, respectful, and industrious.

Where you can agree and continue happy with your old masters, I strongly recommend you to remain on thoseproperties on which you have been born, and where your parents are buried.

But you must not mistake, in supposing that your present houses, gardens, or provision grounds, are your ownproperty

They belong to the proprietors of the estates, and you will have to pay rent for them in money or labor,according as you and your employers may agree together.

Idle people who will not take employment, but go wandering about the country, will be taken up as vagrants, andpunished in the same manner as they are in England.

The ministers of religion have been kind friends to you; listen to them; they will keep you out of troubles anddifficulties.

Recollect what is expected of you by the people of England, who have paid such a large price for your liberty.

They not only expect that you will behave yourselves as THE QUEEN'S good Subjects, by obeying the laws, asI am happy to say you always have done as apprentices; but that the prosperity of the island will be increased byyour willing labour greatly beyond what it ever was in slavery. Be honest towards all men; Be kind to yourwives and children spare your wives from heavy field work as much as you can; make them attend to their dutiesat home, in bringing up your children, and in taking care of your stock;above all, make your children attenddivine service and school.

If you follow this advice, you will, under God's blessing be happy and prosperous.

Given under my hand and seal at arms, at St Jago de La Vega, this ninth day of July in the First year of hermajesty's reign, Annoque Domini, 1838

LIONEL SMITH

By his Excellency's command

C. H. DARLING, Sec

The British Parliament abolished the slave trade in 18072. But soon recognized that transport of slaves fromAfrica to the Americas was still continuing. In an effort to enforce the prohibition on importation/purchase ofnew slaves, the slave registration system was devised. Beginning in 1817 plantation owners were required to listby name, color, age, place of birth all slaves on their plantation3. In subsequent years, (1823, 1826, 1829, 1832and 1834), the reports consisted mainly of births, deaths, runaways and manumissions.

Unfortunately, most registers which I have seen list the vast majority of slaves by a single (first) name only, donot recognize marriages at all, and give mother's name (never father's) only for children. Generally, surnames donot appear and must have been obtained only when freedom, or perhaps baptism occurred. African refers to bornin Africa, and creole refers to born in Jamaica. In the colour column, most individuals are listed as Negro, or



Black. There are a few Mulattos,and Sambos. The other categories (Octaroon, Quadroon, etc.) do not appear tohave been used much, if at all.

These records are difficult to use by themselves. But if used together with manumission records, early baptismand marriage records, other records, and even the wills of plantation owners it may be possible to find some ofone's ancestors.

The four slave registers which follow are for the year 1817 for plantations in the parish of Saint Ann owned byHamilton Brown (2), Sarah Duncan (1), and Angus Campbell (1). Hamilton Brown owned several plantationsover the years 1817 to about 1845. According to the 1818 Almanac which can be found on this site, (JamaicanFamily Search) , he was the owner of Minard (128 slaves) which he must have acquired from its previous owner(John Bailie) in 1815 or later. The number of slaves on this estate approximates the number of slaves in one ofthe registers attributed to his ownership (124 slaves). The other register (86 slaves) cannot be assigned to anyestate, although he is listed in Almanacs for subsequent years as owning several, (Antrim, Grier Park, Colliston,Little River, Retirement and Unity Valley).

Angus Campbell owned Lime-Tree Garden with James Campbell according to the 1809 Almanac. By the timeof publication of the 1815 Almanac James had died and Angus is listed as having 39 slaves.

This fits well with the 1817 slave register report which lists 40 slaves. He apparently dies by 1818 when theAlmanac lists his estate as including another piece of property, Cottage, with 15 slaves.

All four returns were found in T71/43

An index to the returns is in T71/43
