Mary Point Estate

[2] In the aftermath of the 1733 slave insurrection on St. John, Franz Claasen was deeded the Mary's Point estate for alerting the family of the rebellion and assisting in their escape to St. Thomas, a nearby island.

Franz Claasen's land deed was recorded on August 20, 1738, by Jacob van Stell.

[2] Augustus Kragh and the Grancis family were owners of the Mary Point Estate during the late 18th century.

Hans Hendrik Berg, a governor and president of St. John and St. Thomas, was an owner of the Mary Point Estate during the 19th century.

[3] The St. John Historical Society recorded Mary's Point as a cotton plantation, but noted that sugar was grown there in the 19th century.
