St Elizabeth Slave Records (1800s)

A spreadsheet displaying the number of enslaved people owned by my ancestors on my maternal grandfather’s side. The Mitchell, Mullings, Russell, and Swaby families all lived in St Elizabeth during the early 1800s according to Jamaican Almanacs. Dates in this spreadsheet range from 1811 to 1846, although the Abolition Bill (trading in African slaves) was passed and 1808. (JIS) “Emancipation and apprenticeship came into effect in 1834 and full freedom was granted in 1838.” (JIS)

I’ve found scanned slave registers that list the names, ages, and “nationalities” of the enslaved. Some Almanacs include the name of the land which can be tracked down generations.
