Thomas Hall (b.1660?) immigrated to Jamaica from Worcester, England, and his name first appears in the collection on aletter from his brother, Henry, addressed to him at Port Royal in 1711. In 1720, Thomas and his wife Patience financed theplantation activities of their son, William (b.1696), a planter from the parish of Westmoreland, and his associate, JamesCampbel, with a loan of four thousand pounds. In 1721, William's brother, Thomas (b.1694), who was afflicted with adisabling disease, left Jamaica for curative powers of the spas of Bath, England. It is in a letter from Thomas (b.1694) toWilliam (b.1696), dated July 24, 1721, that the first mention of sugar is made. Thomas writes, "I find shugars to be a bettercomodity then I expected, but money and credit as scarse here as in our Island, and nothing to had without yr. penny,therefore hope/earnestly beg/ y'll shipp me somemore shugars by yr. first safe hand, pray let them be Either fine or course,provided they be dry..."In 1723, William Hall married Mary Kirkpatrick, daughter of Hugh Kirkpatrick from the parish of St. James, Jamaica, and twoyears later, Thomas Hall (b.1725) was born. At the age of eighteen, Thomas was attending to the affairs of his family'ssugar plantation in St. James parish, while his father conducted business and engaged in politics in the island's capitol, St.Jago de la Vega or Spanish Town.By 1741, Thomas Hall (b.1660?) had died and Patience Hall, during a severe illness, made her last will and testament,leaving the bulk of her estate to her grandson, Thomas Hall. In 1746, William Hall and David Dehany arranged Thomas'smarriage to Mary Dehany and the two were united in 1747.Against a backdrop of conflict among England, France and Spain that was often played out in the West Indies, William andThomas Hall produced sugars, molasses, and rum for export to England; bought slaves to labor in their cane fields; andimported the necessities they couldn't produce, such as foodstuffs from the North American colonies and manufacturedgoods from England. In 1748, the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle brought a period of security to the region, but created confusionamong planters who were unsure of future prices or what commodities would be in demand.During this period of peace, which lasted until the beginning of the Seven Years War in 1756, William Hall experiencedincreasing financial distress, which he attributed to his difficulty in collecting his debts. By 1758 William Hall had died andhis widow, Mary, had married Col. James Barclay.Thomas Hall witnessed the administration of Governor Charles Knowles (1752-1756) and the dispute over moving thecapitol of Jamaica from Spanish Town (St. Jago de la Vega) to Kingston. Powerful planters and residents of the westernparishes opposed the efforts of Kingston merchants allied with Knowles to relocate government offices, the Assembly, andthe island's archives to the port of Kingston. The merchants also sought to remove the militia and its artillery to Kingston, amove which would have left Spanish Town defenseless in time of war.After Knowles dissolved the Assembly on November 8, 1754, influential planters, including Charles Price, Rose Fuller, andEdward Manning, responded by forming an "Association" for "carrying on good Government, and the welfare of this Island."Although Knowles managed to move the colony's archives, which served as the repository for land and property records,his influence at the King's court was less than the power of the petitions of his opponents and his actions were finallydisallowed.In 1756, in anticipation of the lieutenant governor's call for a new Assembly, Charles Price and others who represented the"country interest," secretly petitioned Thomas Hall to declare his candidacy as a representative from St. James.By 1758, Thomas Hall had moved to London with his family and left Samuel Cleland, his attorney, in charge of his sugarestates, Tryall, Irwin, and Johnshall. Hall entered into a copartnership with John Rusea, who managed the overseers on theJohnshall and Irwin estates. James Hindlater oversaw the operation of Tryall estate.In late 1761, Thomas Hall returned to Jamaica to find his estates in great disorder and confusion, largely because of theseverity of John Rusea. During his stay in Jamaica, his wife, Mary, died. Hall arranged his affairs and returned to London bySeptember of 1764. By November 1772, Thomas Hall had died. Thomas Hall's second son, William, emigrated to Jamaicashortly before his father's death to pursue a career as a planter.The bulk of Thomas Hall's estate went to his oldest son, Hugh Kirkpatrick Hall (b.1748?). Hugh managed his estates fromEngland through Cunningham and Cleland, attorneys in Jamaica, and John Kennion, his agent in London. In 1782, inaddition to the Irwin and Tryall estates in St. James parish, H.K. Hall owned the Kirkpatrick Hall estate, located in the parishof Westmoreland. In 1793, records show an additional sugar plantation called Hallhead estate in the parish of St. Thomas inthe East.In 1790, Mrs. Alice Kennion took over management of her late husband's business affairs and by 1807 was managingHallhead estate. In 1811 Hallhead estate was owned by Mrs. Alice Kennion and Thomas Gordon and in the possession ofJohn Stewart and Charles Harris. In 1821 Hallhead is the property of John Hall, son of H.K. Hall's brother Thomas Hall(b.1758?), and Thomas Gordon.The estates of Irwin, Tryall, and Kirkpatrick Hall and the pen at Stapleton were inherited by Thomas Kirkpatrick Hall, son of H.K. Hall and Mary Kenyon. Pens were "seasoning" facilities where new slaves and livestock were adapted to forced labor

PLANTATION AND ESTATE DOCUMENTSScope and Content of SeriesSeries 2) PLANTATION AND ESTATE DOCUMENTS contains records related to themanagement of the sugar plantations of Irwin, Tryall, Kirkpatrick Hall, Johnshall,Worcester, Williamsfield and Hallhead estates and Stapleton Pen. The materials arearranged by individual estate. Bound items which provide data on several plantations aregrouped in a separate subseries.Significant among the documents are lists of slaves on individual plantations which werecomplied by attorneys for absentee owners, usually at the end of the year. Although thecategories of data which were recorded vary across time, most record name, occupation,and condition. Many trace age and country of origin, while one list accounts for the yearlyallowance of cloth for each slave. The increase and decrease of slaves was also oftenrecorded, including birth and death dates; name of mother and child; name of deceased;and cause of death. Doctor's bills and accompanying receipts for payment located in theHallhead subseries provide additional information on the general health and condition ofslaves.Extant slave lists for Hallhead estate appear for the years 1792, 1810, and 1818-1820.Lists for Irwin, Tryall, and Kirkpatrick Hall estates and Stapleton Pen appear for the years1782, 1819, 1821-1822, 1824, 1827-1828, and 1830.Several documents provide information on cane fields under cultivation for the estate ofHallhead. Data on cultivation occurs in the 1793 account book, the 1811 "list," and the1820 "list." Often included with lists of slaves were livestock accounts which reported theincrease and decrease of stock.The materials in the "Account ledgers" subseries as well as individual accounts locatedwithin the Irwin, Johnshall, and Tryall estate subseries provide a wealth of data on theoperation of Thomas Hall's (b.1725) sugar plantations between 1756 and 1766.Generally, the ledgers balance accounts with individuals who managed Hall's plantationswhile he lived in London. Hall settled accounts with Joseph Manesly, Dehany and Bowen,John Rusea, Benjamin Heath, James Irving, Samuel Cleland, and John Scott. Of particularinterest are the accounts for Johnshall estate which document cash paid out for goodsand services.

LEGAL DOCUMENTSScope and Content of SeriesSeries 3) LEGAL DOCUMENTS series is arranged into three subseries: A) Bonds, B) Caseswith legal opinions, and C) Miscellaneous documents.A) Bonds: Three documents which secure financial agreements between individuals. Inthe earliest bond, dated 1720, William Hall (b.1696) and an associate, James Campbel,borrowed four thousand pounds from his father and mother, Thomas (b.1660?) andPatience Hall. The copy of the bond between Thomas Hall (b.1725) and his father-in-law,David Dehany, sets forth the conditions by which Hall will use land bequeathed to hiswife's children. Finally, the copy of the bond between Thomas Hall and Murdock MacLeodand George Lesslie relates to the rental of Kirkpatrick Pen, including Negroes and stock,in the parish of Westmoreland.B) Cases with Legal Opinions: Family wills and the inheritance of property by Thomas Hall(b.1725) and his heirs. Typically, a copy of the will or argument was submitted to anattorney, who then penned his opinion on the copy. In 1747, William Hall sought to clarifythe title to 120 acres of land in the parish of St. Elizabeth that his mother, Patience,bequeathed to her grandson, Thomas. William's request for opinions corresponds to themarriage of Thomas Hall to Mary Dehany. Other important cases include the inheritanceof Hugh Kirkpatrick's estate by his daughter, Mary Hall [wife of William Hall] (1752 June15), the inheritance of the estate of George Goodin by the children of Mary Dehany (1763November 28) and a dispute over land bequeathed by Mary Hall to her grandson, HughKirkpatrick Hall ([after 1772]).C) Miscellaneous Legal Documents: Letter of attorney from Thomas Hall to SamuelCleland to grant land for life on Hall's property north of Montego Bay, St. James parish(1757 May 9). Also included is a document related to the sale of land at Toxteth Park nearLiverpool, England for which John Kennion, Hugh Kirkpatrick Hall's agent in London, paidthe taxes in 1785 (1783 February 24 and 1785). Of particular interest is the summary ofthe settlement made on the marriage of Thomas Newman and Eliza Anne Hall, ThomasHall's (b.1758?) daughter (1817 December 27). The six-page document reflects acomplexity of conditions and stipulations for marriage among the wealthy.
