=Grove Hill= house is mentioned in “Tom Cringle’s Log.” =Rose Hall=, about 10 miles from Montego Bay, is one of the finest examples of Jamaica architecture of the old time. It was erected in 1760 at a cost of £30,000 by George Ash, the second husband of Rose Kelly (b. 1724). Her fourth husband was the Hon. John Palmer. It is said to have been the scene of a tragedy in the eighteenth century, when the owner, Annie Mary Paterson, wife of John Rose Palmer, grand-nephew of the Hon. John Palmer, was murdered by her slaves; but the occurrence more probably took place at Palmyra hard by. In 1831 the great house at Rose Hall was unoccupied and one wing had been removed, while a gable end is all that remains of the other. =Adelphi= (formerly called Stretch and Set) is said to have been the first spot on the north side at which religious instruction was given to the slaves. At =Running Gut= estate are monuments of the Lawrence family, _e.g._ Benjamin Lawrence (d. 1776). The Lawrences for many years owned property from Little River to Montego Bay. The last portion was sold in 1910. =Spring Mount= estate has monuments of the Heath family, and =Catherine Hall= estate has tombs of Stone, Barnett, Ross, and others. =Cinnamon Hill= is interesting as being the home of the Barretts and the Moultons, from whom descended the poetess wife of the poet Robert Browning. =Carlton= formerly belonged to an old Scottish family, the Gordons of Earlston, well known by readers of Crockett’s books, and part of the property is still called Earlston. At =California= and =Williamsfield= are Arawâk kitchen middens; at =Tryall= an Arawâk kitchen midden and cave, indicating the existence at one time of an important Indian settlement; and at =Kempshot=, the site of the observatory of the government meteorologist, there is an Arawâk rock-carving. =Brandon Hill= has a curious cave; this was the town house of the Hon. John Palmer, of Rose Hall. There is another cave at =Seven Rivers=, near Cambridge, with stalactites. =Miranda Hill= has Spanish remains. =Seaford Town=, in St. James, is named after Lord Seaford, who there established a settlement of German immigrants from Hanover. Some account of his family is given in the chapter on St. Mary. XI HANOVER Kingston and Port Royal excepted, Hanover is the smallest parish in area in the island. When it was formed the Assembly wished to call it St. Sophia in honour of the mother of George I, but in this it was overridden by the Council, and the name was chosen with reference to the reigning family in England. In the “Jamaica Almanac” for 1751 it is called, German fashion, Hannover.
