As many of the maps in the list given above are without dates, it became neces- sary to trace the formation and alteration of the various parishes of the islaiid in order to give to them an approximate date, and the notes which were made for- that purpose are now appended. In Hickeringill's "Jamaica View'd" published in the year 1661, appears what is probably the oldest English map of the Island With the exception of Guana- boa, The Seven Plantations, The Angels and St. Jago de la Vega ; only towns on- the sea-board are mentioned in it, and there is no ■dLii.f.m^ii to divide thu ialaud into parishes. In acensu?^ taken in 1662 (cf. Bridges' " Annals" I. 427) the Island was divided into ten districts as follows : — the Precincts of Port Moranto; Morant ; Yealoth ; and Legene ; the town of Saint Angelo Delvega [St, .Tijr. > de la Vega] ; Between Black River, Bower Savanna and thereabouts ; In the Angles Quarters ; la the Seven Plantations, Macaria, Qaathebeca ; IntheQ'iartorsQuanaboaandQuardalena ; and Upon Point Gangway. Sir Thomas Modyford, in his " View of the condition of Jamaica, the 1st of October, 1664," reprinted in the appendix to the fir.st volume of the " Joa Dials of the Heuse of Assembly" ([Spanish Town] 1811), says "There is in the said island but seven established parishes ; videlicet, the town and jiarish of St. Kiii-henne's St. John's, the town and parish of Port Royal, Clarendon, St. David's, St. Andrew's, and St. Thomas, which are very large, and in them all i)ut one church, ihai. at St. Katherine's." Roby. in his " History of the Parish ot St. Janiea," obseives — " It is true that Long says, that about the time when Col «anl Edward D'Oyloy received his commission as Governor from Charles IL, in l(i61, or soon afterwards, the is- land was divided into twelve districts which he enumerates, adding to the seven parishes already mentioned St. Geo ge, St. Mary, St. aine, St. Jameb, and St» Elizabeth ; and states, it was afterwards surveyed and divided unMer Sir i'homas Modyford's government [inlO*^^], bii+ no "t^w parisbe^' or districts nr^fled hy name [cf. Long 1. 164]." As 1 have found no mention of any of the five list-named parishes until after 1664, and Sir Thomas mentions only seven existing, I am of opinion that our parish [St. James] and the other four did not rcccivo thoir re- spective appellatitjns before tlio vfy end of 1664, or more probably until I6G5"- The parish of St. David was part of the precinct of St. Thomas-in the-East, and. St. George was part of the precinct of St. Mary. Attached to Modyfor I's " Answers to the enquiri s (^f his Majesty'.s commis- sioners" (" Journals of the House of As.seuibly" I. appendix) is the following Table :—— 12 JAMAICA CARTOGRAPHY. Survey of the Island, September, 10 «tH aj'^ m S " S ® _ In the same year (1673), Vere was formed by cutting off a portion of Clarendon but it still remained part of the precinct of Clarendon ; and in 1675, St. Thomaa- in-the Vale was taken from St. Catherine ; and Clarendon lost another piece out of which was formed St. Dorothy, which parish became part of the precinct of St. Catherine. In " The State oi Jamaica under Sir Thomas Lynch, his Majesty's present. Captain General and Chief Governour, September 20th 1683," prefixed to the "Laws of Jamaica," (London 1684), it states "since that time (1661) it has been divided into Fifteen Parishes, and they into eight Provinces or Precincts." In the somewhat lengthy "Journal kept by Col. Wm. Beeston from his first coming to Jamaica [1660-1680]" ("Interesting Tracts"— St. Jago de la Vega 1800), no mention is made of the parishes. The first Act on record havitig reference to the parishes of the island was passed in 1677. The law itself had noc been preserved, but it is recited in a law passed in 16B1 (33 Car. 2) " An Act for the maintenance of Ministers, and the Poor, and erecting and Repairing of churches." ("The Laws of Jamaica," London 1684) : " And whereas this Island, in the twenty-ninth year of his Majesties reign, by an Act of this Country, was divided into fifteen parishes, which were called, dis- tinguished, and known, by the several names hereafter mentioned, that is to say, St. Thomas, St. Davids, Port Royal, St. Audreios, St. Katharines, St. Dorothys 14 JAMAICA CARTOGRAPHY. 8t. Thomas iii the Valley, Clarendorb, Vere, St. Johns, St. Georges St. Maries, at. Anns, St. James and St. Elizabeths ; Be it therefore Enacted and ordained by the Authority aforesaid, That all and every of the said several Parishes, rest, remain, and for ever hereafter be distinguished and known by the aforesaid re- spective Names, and by no other whatsoever, anything in this or any other Law to the contrary notwithstanding." ! In 1692, on the destruction of the greater part of Port Royal by earthquake, most of the inhabitants that survived settled in hastily erected buildings in St. Andrew, on the harbour, and in the following year the parish of Kingston was formed.* In 1703, Westmoreland was formed out of a portion of St. Elizabeth. In 17 23, Portland was formed, the land being taken partly from St. Thomas-in-the-East, and partly from St Greoge (by 10 Geo. I.) ; and Hanover was formed out of part of Westmoreland. In 1739 (12 Geo. II. ch. 6) parts of the Carpenters' Mountains, heretofore esteemed part of St. Elizabeth and Clarendon, were trans- ferred to Vere. In 1758, the three counties of Surrey, Middlesex and Cornwall were created (by 31 Geo. II. ch. 15,) with a view to the more convenient holding of courts of jus- tice. King.ston was declared the county town of Surrey ; St. Jago de la Vega, that of Midcilesex ; and Savanna-la-Mar, that of Cornwall. In the first named were the seven parishes of Port Royal, Kingston, St. Andrew, St. David, Port- land, St. George and St. Th')mas-m-the-East ; Middlesex comprised St. Cathe- rine, St. John, St. Thomas-in-the Vale, St. Dorothy, Clarendon, Vere, St. Ann and St. Mary ; while Cornwall had, but four parishes, St. Elizabeth, Westmore- land, Hanover and St. James. The next change was in 1 770, when Trelawny was formed out of a portion of St. James. In 1814 Manchester was created by taking parts frinn Clarendon, Vere and St. Elizabeth : thus transferring a portion of Cornwall to Middlesex. In J800 a law was passed (50 Geo. III.) for fixing the boundaries of the several Counties and Parishes of this Island by which the extent and boundaries of the said several and respective Counties and Parishes of this Island, as laid down and delineated in the three maps of the representative counties and the general map of this Island, made and pul)lished by James Robertson, were taken as the bounds of the counties and parishes, and printed copies of the maps were recognized as evidence in airCourts of Justice in the Island of the boundaries of the said seve- ral counties and parishes. In 1841, the last parish to be created in the history of Jamaica, Metcalfe, was formed out of the Parishes cf St. Mary and St. George, whereby Middlesex again gained laud, this time at the expense of Surrey. The Parishes then numbered 22. In 1844, an Act,, (8 Vic. c. 39) was passed defining the boundaries of Kingston Harbour. In 1867, was passed the law for the reduction of the number of parishes. In Sun-ey, Kingston was increased by taking part of St. A.ndrew, a part of the pa- rish and the whole town of Poit Royal. St. Andrew took the remaining part of Port Royal parish ; and St. David was merged into St. Thomas in-the-Bast, and St. George into Portland, which also took the Manchioneal district of St. Thomas- in-the-East. lu Middlesex the recently created parish of Metcalfe was merged again into the parish of St. Mary. St. Thomas-in the- Vale, St. John and St. Dorothy, were all merged into St. Catherine, and Vere again became part of C/larendon ; St. Anne and Manchester remaining as they were. In Cornwall there was no altera- tion, the five parishes remaining as they were. The table at the c^d of this article may help to make the story of the various divisions of the pari: lies plainer.

St. Catherine was named after Catherine of Portugal, the wife of Charles II, who was King of England when the parish was formed. In the first act in which it is mentioned the correct spelling of the name is used, Katharine. The parish of Clarendon was named in honour of the celebrated chancellor, Edward Hyde^ first Earl of Clarendon. St. James was named after the Duke of York, subsequently James II ; and St. Ann after his wife, the eldest daughter of Lord Clarendon. If Roby is right in this ; the correct spelling of the name of the parish would be St. Anne, as indeed Long and others spell it. The parishes of St. George, St. Andrew and St. David, are derived from the patron saints of England, Scotland and Wales, but Roby thinks that the name of St. George might have received additional appropriateness from the fact that George was the Christian name of the Duke of Albermarle, Sir Thomas Modyford'a relative and patron, as also of Colonel Nedham, his son-in-law. Roby points out also that although St. Thomas was so called before the arrival of Sir Thomas Modyford, D'Oyley's immerliate successor in the Government was Thomas Hickman, Lord Windsor, after whom it may have been called. The parish of Port Royal obtained its appellation from its port, the name of which was changed f i om Cagua about three years after the Restoration. The parish of St. Mary Avas probably so called from the port (Puerto Santa Ma- ria) thus named by the Spaniards, 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 George Nedham. St. Elizabeth was probably named in honour of Elizabeth, Lady Modyford, the daughter of William Palmer, whose tomb.stone is in the Cathedral. Vere 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 or was lost on her passage from England to this island in 1()83. St. Thomas-in-the-Vale was probably named after Sir Thomas Lynch. St. Do- rothy, Roby conjectures, received its name in compliment to Dorothy Wale, who had probably a large estate there. Kingston is the common form of King's Town. Westmoreland obtained its name from being the western-most parish of the island ; while Hanover was named after the reigning English family, albeit the Aa- eembly wished to confer on the new parish the name of St. Sophia in honour of the mother of George I., but in this it was ovei-ridden by the Council. The four remaining parishes received their names from Governors in the Island at the date of their formation ; Portland, Trelawny, Manchester and Metcalfe. When in 1758 the island was divided into three counties, the middle one was appropriately called Middlesex, the westernmost was named after the most western county in England, Cornwall ; and the eastern division was called Surrey, pro- bably because, like Surrey in England, its chief town was Kingston. • i i / UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARY Los Angeles This book is DUE on the last date stamped below.
