Scope and Content of Collection
Family papers and sugar plantation records (1709-1835) of the Hall family of England and Jamaica, including William Hall (b.1696),
Thomas Hall (1725-1772), Hugh Kirkpatrick Hall (b.1748?), and Thomas Kirkpatrick Hall (b.1776). The collection provides an
abundance of primary source material on eighteenth and early nineteenth century Jamaican plantation economy and culture. The
Hall family owned and operated the sugar plantations of Irwin Estate, Tryall Estate, Johnshall Estate, Hallhead Estate, and
Kirkpatrick Hall Estate. They also owned Worcester, Williamsfield, Stapleton Pen, and Kirkpatrick Pen. The collection contains
numerous documents related to record-keeping on the plantations, the administration of Jamaican Governor Charles Knowles (1752-1756)
and the formation of the "Association" by leading planters and colonists. The family papers contain correspondence between
family members, wills, certificates of military commission and genealogical memoranda. Extensive scope and content notes for
each series are included in the finding aid. The collection was processed in two separate accessions, and microfilmed (4 reels)
in entirety in July 1999.
Accession Processed in 1992
Family papers and business records of five generations (1710-1830) of the Hall family members who owned sugar plantations
on the island of Jamaica for over a century. The materials are particularly rich in data documenting characteristics of slave
populations on Irwin, Tryall and Kirkpatrick Hall estates.
Arranged into five series: 1) CORRESPONDENCE, 2) PLANTATION AND ESTATE DOCUMENTS, 3) LEGAL DOCUMENTS, 4) FAMILY DOCUMENTS,
and 5) POLITICAL AND PUBLIC DOCUMENTS.
Accession Processed in 1995
A small selection of letters and miscellaneous documents written by English diplomat Lorenzo Hall between 1825 and 1842 to
his uncle Thomas Kirkpatrick Hall and other family members, and letters sent to Thomas K. Hall by various representatives
and agents in Italy between 1819 and 1822 concerning Mr. Hall's commissions of paintings and several trade cards.
Arranged into two series: 6) CORRESPONDENCE and 7) MISCELLANEOUS DOCUMENTS.
Historical Background
The Hall family engaged in sugar production on the island of Jamaica for over a century and participated in the rise of Jamaican
planter society during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The early generations of Halls directly supervised
their plantations, while the later descendants lived in England as absentee landlords, leaving the management of their estates
to attorneys and overseers.
Thomas Hall (b.1660?) immigrated to Jamaica from Worcester, England, and his name first appears in the collection on a letter
from his brother, Henry, addressed to him at Port Royal in 1711. In 1720, Thomas and his wife Patience financed the plantation
activities of their son, William (b.1696), a planter from the parish of Westmoreland, and his associate, James Campbel, with
a loan of four thousand pounds. In 1721, William's brother, Thomas (b.1694), who was afflicted with a disabling disease, left
Jamaica for curative powers of the spas of Bath, England. It is in a letter from Thomas (b.1694) to William (b.1696), dated
July 24, 1721, that the first mention of sugar is made. Thomas writes, "I find shugars to be a better comodity 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 two
years later, Thomas Hall (b.1725) was born. At the age of eighteen, Thomas was attending to the affairs of his family's sugar
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's marriage 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 and Thomas
Hall produced sugars, molasses, and rum for export to England; bought slaves to labor in their cane fields; and imported the
necessities they couldn't produce, such as foodstuffs from the North American colonies and manufactured goods from England.
In 1748, the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle brought a period of security to the region, but created confusion among 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 experienced increasing
financial distress, which he attributed to his difficulty in collecting his debts. By 1758 William Hall had died and his widow,
Mary, had married Col. James Barclay.
Thomas Hall witnessed the administration of Governor Charles Knowles (1752-1756) and the dispute over moving the capitol of
Jamaica from Spanish Town (St. Jago de la Vega) to Kingston. Powerful planters and residents of the western parishes opposed
the efforts of Kingston merchants allied with Knowles to relocate government offices, the Assembly, and the island's archives
to the port of Kingston. The merchants also sought to remove the militia and its artillery to Kingston, a move 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, and
Edward 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 finally disallowed.
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 sugar estates,
Tryall, Irwin, and Johnshall. Hall entered into a copartnership with John Rusea, who managed the overseers on the Johnshall
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 the
severity of John Rusea. During his stay in Jamaica, his wife, Mary, died. Hall arranged his affairs and returned to London
by September of 1764. By November 1772, Thomas Hall had died. Thomas Hall's second son, William, emigrated to Jamaica shortly
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 from England
through Cunningham and Cleland, attorneys in Jamaica, and John Kennion, his agent in London. In 1782, in addition to the Irwin
and Tryall estates in St. James parish, H.K. Hall owned the Kirkpatrick Hall estate, located in the parish of Westmoreland.
In 1793, records show an additional sugar plantation called Hallhead estate in the parish of St. Thomas in the East.
In 1790, Mrs. Alice Kennion took over management of her late husband's business affairs and by 1807 was managing Hallhead
estate. In 1811 Hallhead estate was owned by Mrs. Alice Kennion and Thomas Gordon and in the possession of John 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
conditions. T.K. Hall, an absentee owner, lived in England and served as sheriff of Staffordshire, England, between 1817 and
1820.
Slavery was finally abolished in Jamaica by decree on August 1st 1834. This Emancipation Act created an interim period of
"apprenticeship" in which slaves were required to work for their masters for four years before they were free.

CORRESPONDENCE
Scope and Content of Series
Series 1) CORRESPONDENCE: Letters from family members, business associates and others. Important family members include Jane
Hall, Henry Hall, Thomas Hall (b.1660?), Thomas Hall (b.1694), William Hall (b.1696), Thomas Hall (b.1725), Mary Hall (later
Mary Barclay), Mary Hall (wife of Thomas Hall (b.1725), and William Hall (b.1749). Attorneys for the Hall Family included
James Kerr, Cunningham and Cleland, and William Brown, while John Scott, George Ricketts, and George Stowe were employed as
overseers. Minor correspondents include Thomas Hall (son of Henry Hall), John Krauss, David Dehany, and Jane Barnett. Mrs.
Barnett's letter to Thomas Hall provides a particularly interesting account of her husband's death at sea during a storm and
her efforts to control his estate. The materials are organized in chronological order with undated letters at the end of the
series. Significant groups of letters include:
Thomas Hall (b.1694) to William Hall (b.1696), 1721-1722: 7 letters, 10 pages. Thomas Hall had recently left Jamaica and wrote
from England to his brother, William, who operated a sugar plantation in Jamaica. Thomas, who had recently suffered a crippling
disability, appealed for funds citing the circumstances of poor relatives and his own needs. He married in 1721, had a daughter,
Patience, in 1722 and lived in the Soho district of London.
William Hall (b.1696) to Thomas Hall (b.1725), 1747-1751: 28 letters, 63 pages [includes 2 undated letters]. William Hall
wrote from the Luana Estate and Spanish Town in Jamaica to his son, Thomas, who managed estates in St. James parish, Jamaica.
William alternated his residence between Luana and Spanish Town, the island's political center and seat of the Assembly of
which he was a member. William's letters deal with business affairs, the direction of sugar plantations and coordination of
shipments of plantation products: sugar, rum, molasses, and mahogany lumber to England, the effect of rainy weather on the
sugar harvest, news of small pox epidemics, the treatment and discipline of Negro slaves, local and international news, and
family news. During this period William's financial affairs were increasingly in disarray and he became preoccupied with payment
of debts and accounts. His health was sometimes poor due to age and gout.
William wrote about conditions in Jamaica prior to the appointment of Admiral Charles Knowles as Governor (1752-1756) of the
island. Several letters mention the subject of slavery including the discipline of runaway slaves (1747 May 1), disobedience
and refusal to work (1747 November 18), and the acquisition of new slaves (1748 April 12 and 1748 July 3). International events
and their impact on Jamaica and the sugar economy are also discussed: the implications of the peace treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle
between Great Britain, France, and Holland (1748 June 30) and the activities of the English fleet in the Caribbean (1747 November
18 and 1748 June 3). Jamaican politics are mentioned in several letters, including a scheme to redraw county divisions and
elect county courts (1750 November 22), Hall's plans to send a list of bills before the Assembly (1751 October 12) and news
of assembly and committee activities (1751 November 19).
Mary Barclay to Thomas Hall (b.1725), 1758-1760: 10 letters, 20 pages [includes 2 letters undated and written before her marriage
to Barclay]. William Hall had died and his wife, Mary, had married Mr. Barclay. Thomas Hall moved to London and had given
over management of his plantations to attorney Samuel Cleland. Mary wrote from Jamaica requesting news of the family, especially
her grandchildren, and provided news of friends and the situation in Jamaica. She commented upon the treatment of slaves on
Hall's plantations (1759 August 23), cautioned him not to turn his partner, Mr. Rusea, into an attorney by giving him too
much power (1759 September 21) and gave an account of a slave rebellion and its leader "Simon" (1760 August 31) [see also
George Ricketts to Thomas Hall, 1760 August 30].
Stephen Fuller to Thomas Hall (b.1725), 1761-1763: 9 letters, 21 pages. Hall had left his wife and children in London and
had returned to Jamaica to personally manage his estates in response to declining productivity. Stephen Fuller, his agent
in London, wrote regarding international politics, the price of sugars and the health and well being of Hall's family. He
warned of the threat of Spanish marauders in the Caribbean (1761 January 2), requested that Hall recommend a correspondent
from the island of Martinico (1762 March 31) and conveyed news of the death of Mary Hall, his wife (1763 March 24).
Mary Hall to Thomas Hall (b.1725), 1761: 6 letters, 12 pages [includes 2 undated letters]. Thomas Hall (b.1725) had left for
Jamaica and his wife, Mary, wrote immediately upon his departure. In letters of a personal nature, she pleaded with him to
abandon his plans and return to his family. She argued that increased profits did not justify leaving at a time when family
members were sick.
Thomas Hall (b.1725) to Mary Hall, 1762-1763: 4 letters, 9 pages. Thomas Hall wrote to his wife, Mary, from Jamaica with news
of the plantation, friends, and island affairs. He began by describing his passage from Madeira to Jamaica (1762 January 26)
and then described the disorder and confusion on his estates (1762 February 20). Hall conveyed his concern over Jamaica's
exposure to plunder and pillage at the hands of the Spanish (1762 February 20).
Thomas Hall (b.1725) to Charles Moore, 1767: 1 letter, 2 pages. Hall, returned to London, wrote to Charles Moore, a tutor
who had been overseeing the education of his sons at home. Charles Moore to Thomas Hall (b.1725), 1767-1768: 6 letters, 11
pages. Moore wrote offering to tutor Hall's sons at Eton, but pointed out that there is little he could accomplish without
their "prudence and their own application" (1767 December 30). He reported on their progress and schedules at Eton and praised
Hugh Kirkpatrick Hall for his application and promise. Finally, Moore made an unsuccessful bid for the hand of Hall's daughter
in marriage (1768 May 8).
John Scott to Thomas Hall (b.1725), 1767-1769: 7 letters, 14 pages. John Scott was the overseer on Hall's Tryall estate in
St. James parish, Jamaica. He requested that Hall visit the plantation and asked that supplies be landed at Dunshole rather
than Montego Bay, complaining that materials went to Irwin estate first and he often failed to receive all that was due (1767
April 27). Scott made recommendations on the production of rum and related news of the estate, including the natural increase
of the "Negroe" slaves (1767 July 12). Scott planned to move to Philadelphia (1769 May 10), but had to delay his departure
until the next spring (1768 May 18). In the same letter he suggested that the child of a white father and slave mother might
be spared a life of bondage. Finally, Scott wrote from Philadelphia where he was having trouble selling his bonds because
of the export ban on American manufactures to England (1769 September 25).
James Kerr to Thomas Hall (b.1725), 1769-1772: 3 letters, 9 pages. Kerr wrote as a manager of Thomas Hall's Jamaican estates
regarding matters of provisions, the purchase of new slaves, weather, and crops.
William Hall (b.1749) to Thomas Hall (b.1725), 1769-1771: 5 letters, 14 pages. William Hall wrote from Jamaica to his father
in London in an effort to convince him that his days of frivolity at Eton were over. He was eager to gain his father's favor
and dreamt of taking over management of his father's estates (1771 February 1). William discussed his plans to build a house
on a small tract of land bordering Worchester and Williamsfield (1771 March 28), his intention to purchase slaves and begin
a substantial estate (1771 July 24).
William Brown to Hugh Kirkpatrick Hall (b.1748?), 1775-1779: 5 letters, 26 pages. Thomas Hall has died (1772) and left his
estates to his oldest son, Hugh Kirkpatrick Hall, who lived in London and managed his sugar plantations through an attorney
in Jamaica, William Brown. Brown's letters reflect a high degree of involvement in sugar planning and processing in a climate
of intensified production of high quality sugars. Brown discussed the completion of a new mill at Kirkpatrick Hall estate
(possibly the aggregate of the Worchester and Williamsfield holdings), the schedule of planting, the need produce higher quality
sugars by shifting labor from extensive planting to "cleaning" the crop already there, and the need to hire "Negroes" skilled
in the trades, sawyers and carpenters, to build up the estate (1775 June 1). Hugh had changed merchant bankers from Stephen
Fuller to Messiers. Sercold & Jackson.
Robert Kenyon to Hugh Kirkpatrick Hall, 1776: 2 letters, 6 pages. Robert Kenyon, Hugh's brother-in-law, inquired about future
disposition of one of Hugh's horses (1776 24 April). Both men lived in England. In the second letter Kenyon expressed a desire
to visit and see the children.
Cunningham and Cleland to John Kennion, 1784-1785: 3 letters, 12 pages. The company of Cunningham and Cleland, attorneys in
Jamaica, reported to John Kennion, Hugh Kirkpatrick Hall's agent in London, regarding the state of Hall's plantations. They
described the financial accounts, provided news of crops and the ships that will carry sugar, and shipped turtles and limes.
Also they mentioned the review of an overseer, especially his conduct toward the slaves (1784 12 February). Finally, they
related news that William, Hugh's brother in Jamaica, had made a negotiation of his debts quite unfavorable to Hugh (1785
April 20).
George Lawrence to Thomas Hall (b.1758), 1810: 2 letters, 5 pages. George Lawrence, son of Thomas Hall's sister Mary, wrote
Thomas in London with news of Williamsfield and the condition of the crops (1810 16 May). Lawrence had travelled to Jamaica
to resolve estate accounts.

PLANTATION AND ESTATE DOCUMENTS
Scope and Content of Series
Series 2) PLANTATION AND ESTATE DOCUMENTS contains records related to the management of the sugar plantations of Irwin, Tryall,
Kirkpatrick Hall, Johnshall, Worcester, Williamsfield and Hallhead estates and Stapleton Pen. The materials are arranged by
individual estate. Bound items which provide data on several plantations are grouped in a separate subseries.
Significant among the documents are lists of slaves on individual plantations which were complied by attorneys for absentee
owners, usually at the end of the year. Although the categories 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 yearly allowance of
cloth for each slave. The increase and decrease of slaves was also often recorded, 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 the
Hallhead subseries provide additional information on the general health and condition of slaves.
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 years 1782, 1819, 1821-1822, 1824, 1827-1828, and 1830.
Several documents provide information on cane fields under cultivation for the estate of Hallhead. Data on cultivation occurs
in the 1793 account book, the 1811 "list," and the 1820 "list." Often included with lists of slaves were livestock accounts
which reported the increase and decrease of stock.
The materials in the "Account ledgers" subseries as well as individual accounts located within the Irwin, Johnshall, and Tryall
estate subseries provide a wealth of data on the operation of Thomas Hall's (b.1725) sugar plantations between 1756 and 1766.
Generally, the ledgers balance accounts with individuals who managed Hall's plantations while 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 particular interest are the accounts for Johnshall estate which document cash paid out for goods and services.

LEGAL DOCUMENTS
Scope and Content of Series
Series 3) LEGAL DOCUMENTS series is arranged into three subseries: A) Bonds, B) Cases with legal opinions, and C) Miscellaneous
documents.
A) Bonds: Three documents which secure financial agreements between individuals. In the 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?)
and Patience 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 his wife's children. Finally, the copy of the bond between Thomas Hall and Murdock
MacLeod and 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 an attorney, who then penned his opinion on the copy. In 1747, William Hall
sought to clarify the 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 the marriage of Thomas Hall to Mary Dehany. Other important
cases include the inheritance of Hugh Kirkpatrick's estate by his daughter, Mary Hall [wife of William Hall] (1752 June 15),
the inheritance of the estate of George Goodin by the children of Mary Dehany (1763 November 28) and a dispute over land bequeathed
by Mary Hall to her grandson, Hugh Kirkpatrick Hall ([after 1772]).
C) Miscellaneous Legal Documents: Letter of attorney from Thomas Hall to Samuel Cleland 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
near Liverpool, England for which John Kennion, Hugh Kirkpatrick Hall's agent in London, paid the taxes in 1785 (1783 February
24 and 1785). Of particular interest is the summary of the settlement made on the marriage of Thomas Newman and Eliza Anne
Hall, Thomas Hall's (b.1758?) daughter (1817 December 27). The six-page document reflects a complexity of conditions and stipulations
for marriage among the wealthy.

POLITICAL AND PUBLIC DOCUMENTS
Scope and Content of Series
Series 5) POLITICAL AND PUBLIC DOCUMENTS is arranged into two subseries: A) Documents related to Governor Charles Knowles,
1752-1756, and B) Miscellaneous.
A) Documents related to Governor Charles Knowles, 1752-1756: The Knowles materials provide documentation on the attempted
removal of the capitol of Jamaica from Spanish Town to Kingston and the formation of the "Association" by a group of influential
planters including William Dawkins, Rose Fuller, Richard Beckford, Edward Clarke, Thomas Fearon, senior, John Palmer, Hampson
Nedham, Edward Manning, Henry Archbould, Philip Pinnock, and Charles Price. Included is a letterpress broadside reproducing
Governor Knowles speech dissolving the Assembly on November 8, 1754 together with the declaration of the "Association." In
The Association Develop'd, a printed tract, the anonymous author, Jamaicanius, disputes the declaration of the associates.
A detailed enumeration of the complaints against Knowles can be found in the "Grievances" document. A copy of the report of
July 3, 1755 signed by Lord Halifax, J. Grenville and T. Pelham to the Privy Council recommends against the removal of the
capitol.
B) Miscellaneous: Includes a copy of a petition by slaves who request their freedom, witnessed by Charles Price; a political
poem; a list of voters in the election of 1745 and a list of inhabitants taken in 1752; and a unique printed broadside which
lists vessels lost or damaged in the hurricane of September 11, 1751. Finally, the "Account of Negroes and Cattle" provides
data on the size of the slave population for each parish for the years 1734, 1740 and 1745.

CORRESPONDENCE
Scope and Content of Series
Series 6) CORRESPONDENCE: Arranged chronologically. The first group of letters contains 9 holograph letters (including shipping,
banking, and commercial records) sent to Thomas K. Hall of Staffordshire, England between 1819 and 1822. The letters are from
various agents and representatives situated in Italy who were associated with Mr. Hall's commissions of original paintings
and copies of Old Master Paintings, in Rome (primarily) and elsewhere by the following artists: Luigi Duranti (1791-1857),
a Roman painter (see letter dated 1819 March 25), Gaspare Gabrielli (ca. 1790-1833), an Italian painter, (see letter dated
1819 August 28), Peter Herzog (1794-1864), a Swiss painter (see letter dated 1822 January 26), Giovanni Marchi, a Veronese
painter (see letter dated 1819 August 28), and Guiseppi Pisani (1757-1839), an Italian sculptor (see letter dated 1819 April
3). The correspondence offers insight into the trade in paintings between Italy and Britain during the period, as well as
specific, detailed citation of the creation of certain copies of important Old Master paintings by leading Italian artists
of the 19th century, the cost of these commissions with detailed explanations of payment, and the methods of transport from
Leghorn to England. The second group from Lorenzo Hall contains letters written by English diplomat Lorenzo Hall to his uncle
Thomas K. Hall. Lorenzo Hall's letters, dated between 1825-1842, are from numerous European cities and countries and contain
extensive and detailed accounts of the places and peoples from his posts and travels.
