Mary Robert Chisholm, "a mestee child 3 years old" who was baptised at Rose Hill, 16/05/1813. Possibly the daughter of Robert Chisholm, owner of Rose Hill. Not found in the Hanover census of 1823. Mary Robert Chisholm registered the ownership of two enslaved people in Hanover in 1829 "By purchase @ Publick Sale at Montego Bay by Robert Chisholm and Conveyed to me by him..." as well as an enslaved baby of one year of age, presumably born since Mary Robert Chisholm acquired ownership of his mother.
