Compiled from the records of the Court of Chancery of the Island with a list of the inhabitants in 1670 and other matter relative to the early history of the same.

"This scarce work pulls together much important information on early settlers of Jamaica. First and foremost are seventy pedigrees of early Jamaicans combed from Chancery Court proceedings, many of them annotated. Also includes a table showing the starting date for baptismal, marriage, and burial records as found in all Jamaican parishes, and an early census of 700 Jamaican landowners." -- Publisher website (December 2008).
