NOTES

Content : The Grenada Plantation Records consist 109 documents comprising of 519 pages
of manuscript documents from the Lataste Estate, a sugar plantation in Grenada, West
Indies, dating from 1737-1845. Many of the documents are in French, reflecting the fact that
colonial control of Grenada changed hands several times during the time period of this
collection. Included are deeds of sale, account records for running the plantation,
inventories, survey reports about the property, total amount of rum and molasses produced,
and detailed account books of profits and expenses, as well as letters and copies of letters,
powers of attorney, a 1756 marriage contract, and a hand drawn folio map. Most of the
letters were written by John Harvey and include correspondence regarding other properties,
e.g. Estate of Rochambard and estates adjoining Lataste - Brienner and Chantilly. Inventories
of slaves (last dated 1834, when slavery was outlawed) include information about illness,
cause of death, first names, ages, and sometimes country of origin, color and conspicuous
marks (such as amputations) and scars.
