At =Lacovia= estate is the tomb of Barnard Andreiss (d. 1710), custos of the parish; =Dickenson’s Run= has Jewish tombs with inscriptions in Hebrew and Portuguese. At =Pedro= is a cave with Arawâk remains, and also at =Hounslow=. =Hampstead= great house is said to have been the summer residence of former Jamaica governors. Some one with classic taste named =Catadupa=, a word originally applied to the cataracts of the Nile, and once used both in French and English for a waterfall. Long, after ridiculing the tale copied by many writers that the rain-drops which fall at Magotty turn into maggots, goes on to suggest the derivation of “_maga_ (an enchantress) and _oteo_ (watching on a high place); alluding probably to the pinnacle of _Monte Diablo_, over which the thunder clouds so frequently break, as together with its horrid aspect to make it seem a proper residence for a witch, under patronage of the devil, to whom the mountain was dedicated.” =Surinam Quarters=, in St. Elizabeth, were settled in 1675 by planters from Surinam, when that colony was exchanged with the Dutch for New York. =Culloden= and =Auchindown=, in St. Elizabeth, date from the time of the arrival of the ill-fated Darien refugees. XIV MANCHESTER Manchester was separated from the adjoining parishes of St. Elizabeth, Clarendon and Vere in 1814, and was named after the Duke of Manchester, who was Governor of the island at the time; while the chief town, Mandeville, was named after his eldest son. The parish is more noted for its agricultural than historic associations. Mandeville is much frequented by visitors from the United States and Canada and Great Britain. The court-house is said to have cost upwards of £20,000. In the churchyard is the tombstone of Sir William Scarlett, chief justice of the island from 1821 to 1832, who is referred to in the account of St. James. Bridges, the historian, was the rector from 1817 to 1823. In that period he baptized 9547 slaves, and married 2187. In 1823 he published his “Voice from Jamaica,” written in defence of slave-owners, for which the Assembly two years later voted him £700. He valued his living at £1118 per annum. The Rev. Samuel Stewart, writing in 1840, says: “Four large schoolhouses have been erected, one-half of the expense paid by the Bishop, the other moiety by the Vestry.” XV CLARENDON The parish of Clarendon was named in honour of the celebrated Lord Chancellor. The parish of Vere, now merged in it, was named after Vere, daughter of Sir Edward Herbert, Attorney-General to Charles I, and first wife of Sir Thomas Lynch, who, with her two sons, died on her passage from England to this island in 1683.
