Golden Grove, St. John's

[3] Source:[4] According to William Milder's 1669 will, "To my son Jacob Hill, together with 12 or 13 slaves, is half of my Antigua estate named "Paul's," which I just acquired from the widow Elliner [sic] Paull.

In the same year, William Mildon of Bristol and Nevis included his farm known as "Paull Plantation" on the island of Antigua in his will.

Thomas Ayson of Bristol, England, left his kinsman 50,000 pounds of muscovado sugar from his plantation in Nevis in the same year.

Samuel Martin served as Bertie Entwhistle's trustee after his death in 1803, and as a result, Mr. Curtis was appointed manager of Golden Grove, Barnacle Point (#58), and Jolly Hill (#167).

The bell, which ordinarily rang to commemorate the passing of plantation owners and their family, "was forbidden to do that service for those degraded ones whose veins flowed the least drop of tarnished blood from Africa."

As a result, a smaller bell (which still hangs in the belfry) was purchased from the Golden Grove estate, which was frequently reserved for the use of people of color alone.

The land at this location was sold by Flying Horse Hill to the government so that the State College could be built there.
