Manchioneal was the scene of some of the exploits of “Tom Cringle,” recorded in his Log; and the great house on =Muirton= is said to be the one to which he was taken on his arrival from Cuba with yellow fever. =Darlingford=, an extensive coco-nut plantation belonging to the heirs of Sir Charles Darling, a former Governor of Jamaica, stands around the village of Manchioneal. At =Spring Garden= is a ruined fort, said to have been erected against the buccaneers. Sir Thomas Modyford, Governor from 1664 to 1670, is probably commemorated in =Modyford’s Gully= at Dry River in St. George. =Balcarres Hill= is perhaps named after Alexander, Earl of Balcarres, Governor in 1795–1801, but Crawford Town was so called before the Earl of Balcarres came to the Island. =Seaman’s Valley= is said to have derived its name from the destruction of a party of seamen by the Maroons. In 1842 the portion of the original parish of St. George to the west of the little Spanish River, together with part of the eastern portion of St. Mary, was taken to constitute the separate parish of Metcalfe. On the reduction of the number of parishes in 1867 this parish of Metcalfe fell to St. Mary, and the parish of St. George as reduced in 1842 fell to Portland. VII ST. MARY The parish of St. Mary was probably so called from the port, Puerto Santa Maria, thus named by the Spaniards, now known as Port Maria: but Roby points out that Modyford’s daughter’s name was Mary, and it was immediately next to the parish of St. George, the name of her husband being, as we have seen, George Nedham. It includes the former parish of Metcalfe, as well as a part of the old parish of St. George. At =Gray’s Inn=, near Annotto Bay, are to be found remains of an old Spanish house, one of the few left in the island. The Maroon Town of =Scott’s Hall= is situated behind Castleton Gardens on the Junction road, from Kingston to Annotto Bay. The account of the defeat of Sasi by Doyley at Rio Nuevo, now on Spring Valley, will best be told in the account of St. Ann amongst Doyley’s other operations. At =Decoy= on the borders of St. Catherine is the tomb of Sir Charles Price, Bart., called the Patriot, for many years speaker of the Assembly. The property has now been divided up. The tomb is illustrated in Hakewill’s “Picturesque Tour of Jamaica.” The following is a copy of the lengthy inscriptions. The Latin inscription is on the top, the English round the sides.
