Manuscripts
A manuscript document recording the expenditures of a St. Kitts plantation owned by John Lynch French (d. 1801) of Nottingham Place, London; Thomas Caines was the estate manager of the St. Kitts plantation owned by French. It lists payments made to companies and individuals for a wide variety of goods and services, including timber, freight charges, paper and quills, food (including corn, rice, salt fish, rum), candles, slaves' clothing, various carpentry jobs, lime for building, parish tax on slaves, and payments to Caines as manager. A record of the annual births and deaths of slaves on the estate is also recorded. With a signed autograph note by Jedidiah Kerie, clerk, examiner of accounts. The document was likely originally folded, but appears to have been later bound into a volume and then removed, as pages are stitched with some tears.
