Pleasant Hill plantation was situated about 2½ miles from Port Morant in the rich, fertile sugar district of St. Thomas in the East, a south-eastern Jamaican parish. Pleasant Hill comprised about 985 acres, including 350 acres in cane and pasturage. In the early 1760s it had 120 enslaved people and was expected to make 100 hogsheads (approx. 90,000 kilogrammes) of sugar and 50-60 puncheons (approx. 26,000-31,000 litres) of rum per year. It had both a cattle mill and a water mill. |
