Roehampton Estate

Destruction of the Roehampton Estate January 1832, by Adolphe Duperly

Roehampton Estate was a plantation in St James Parish, Jamaica. It was the scene of substantial destruction during the Baptist War (1831-2).

The estate was owned by John Baillie, an absentee plantation owner who lived in Montagu Square, London.[1] Following his death in October 1832, his estate received £5745 0s 3d under the Compensation act for the emancipation of 322 enslaved Africans.[2]

In 1850, Isaac Jackson bought the estate.[2]
