The Enslaved People of Amity Hall, Saint Thomas-in-the-East, Jamaica, 1820

We created this dataset from an inventory of the enslaved people on the Amity Hall Plantation in Saint Thomas-in-the-East Parish, Surrey County, Jamaica. The inventory was recorded as part of an 1820 agreement (with an 1828 watermark) to lease the enslaved people at Amity Hall. To make it clear who comprised the enslaved population on the plantation, the inventory listed enslaved people by an original name, baptismal name, color (negro, mulatto, quadroon, and sambo), age, and origin (creole, meaning born in Jamaica, or African). In addition, there is a remarks column. The inventory claims to list 299 enslaved people, but there are only 298 recorded in it. The document is available online through the New York Public Library.

本数据集源自牙买加萨里郡（Surrey County）东圣托马斯堂区（Saint Thomas-in-the-East Parish）阿米蒂霍尔种植园（Amity Hall Plantation）的被奴役者登记清册。该清册为1820年阿米蒂霍尔种植园被奴役者租赁协议的存档文件之一，其水印日期为1828年。为清晰列明该种植园的被奴役人口构成，该清册以原名、教名、肤色（尼格罗(negro)、穆拉托(mulatto)、夸德龙(quadroon)、桑博(sambo)）、年龄及出身维度对被奴役者进行了登记。此外，该清册还设置了备注栏。该清册标称收录299名被奴役者，但实际仅登记有298人。该档案可通过纽约公共图书馆（New York Public Library）在线获取。
