SLAVE REGISTERS FROM LONDON Name The Slaves Kamala Harris\u2019 Ancestor Owned<\/h1>\n

By Patrick Howley
\nBig League Politics<\/p>\n

Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris is descended from Irish slave owner Hamilton Brown, the namesake of Brown\u2019s Town in Jamaica, who recruited massive numbers of Irish migrants to Jamaica to work on his sugar plantations after the British empire abolished slavery.<\/p>\n

Kamala Harris\u2019 father Donald Harris wrote an essay entitled \u201cReflections of a Jamaican Father\u201d for\u00a0Jamaica Global Online<\/a>, in which he made a startling admission (emphasis added):<\/p>\n

\u201cMy roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (n\u00e9e Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown\u00a0who is on record as plantation and slave owner<\/strong>\u00a0and founder of Brown\u2019s Town) and to my maternal grandmother Miss Iris (n\u00e9e Iris Finegan, farmer and educator, from Aenon Town and Inverness, ancestry unknown to me).\u00a0 The Harris name comes from my paternal grandfather Joseph Alexander Harris, land-owner and agricultural \u2018produce\u2019 exporter (mostly pimento or all-spice), who died in 1939 one year after I was born and is buried in the church yard of the magnificent Anglican Church which Hamilton Brown built in Brown\u2019s Town (and where, as a child, I learned the catechism, was baptized and confirmed, and served as an acolyte).\u201d<\/p>\n

Harris\u2019 father\u2019s passage ends<\/em><\/p>\n

Hamilton Brown was not only a slave owner, but also an engineer of mass Irish migration to Jamaica after the British empire abolished slavery in 1834.<\/p>\n

Jamaican Family Search recorded<\/a>: \u201cHamilton Brown owned several plantations over the years 1817 to about 1845. According to the 1818 Almanac which can be found on this site, (Jamaican Family Search) , he was the owner of Minard (128 slaves) which he must have acquired from its previous owner (John Bailie) in 1815 or later. The number of slaves on this estate approximates the number of slaves in one of the registers attributed to his ownership (124 slaves). The other register (86 slaves) cannot be assigned to any estate, although he is listed in Almanacs for subsequent years as owning several, (Antrim, Grier Park, Colliston, Little River, Retirement and Unity Valley).\u201d<\/p>\n

Here is a full accounting of the slaves owned by Hamilton Brown,\u00a0according to the National Archives in London<\/a>, as of June 28, 1817 in the parish of St. Ann in Jamaica:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Hamilton Brown officially swore to the authenticity of this record, stating:<\/p>\n

\u201cI Hamilton Brown do swear that the above list and return consisting of two sheets is a true perfect and complete list and return, to the best of my knowledge and belief in every particular therein mentioned of all and every slaves possessed by me as owner, considered as most permanently settled, worked and employed in the Parish of Saint Ann on the twenty Eight day of June One thousand Eight Hundred and Seventeen without fraud, deceit or evasion So help me God.<\/p>\n

Sworn before me this twenty fourth day of September 1817\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamilton Brown\u2019s slave owning shows up in other records, as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cHamilton Brown was instrumental in the importing of several hundred labourers and their families from Ireland to Jamaica between 1835 and 1840,\u201d according to\u00a0University College London\u2019s project \u201cLegacies of British Slave-ownership.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0The project describes Hamilton Brown as a \u201cMajor attorney and resident slave-owner in Jamaica.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Jamaican newspaper\u00a0The Gleaner<\/em>\u00a0reported in July 2012 in a travel piece on Brown\u2019s Town:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we struggled to stay on the narrow sidewalk, we noticed an elderly man coming our way. He had an unruly grey beard and wore spectacles with thick frames and cloudy lenses.<\/p>\n

\u201cHallo! Hallo!\u201d he said. We stopped and returned the greeting. The man gave his name as Ferly and he told us a bit about Brown\u2019s Town.<\/p>\n

\u201cA good amount of Brown live here, you know,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople what name Brown pack up the place. It all coming from Hamilton Brown who the town name after. Yes man, dem teach it in school,\u201d said Ferly, nodding.<\/p>\n

He told us that Hamilton Brown was buried in the graveyard at the nearby Anglican Church. \u201cBut a lot of people don\u2019t even know that. Is only long-time people like me know dem tings,\u201d he said.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gleaner passage ends<\/em><\/p>\n

Black activist Tariq Nasheed has publicly cast doubt on Kamala Harris\u2019 claim to being \u201cBlack.\u201d<\/p>\n
