Jamaica Maitlands

MT:
The information has been derived initially from an original handwritten Maitland family tree, starting with Francis Maitland (1), continuing in various hands to NG Maitland and others. This has been confirmed and expanded from Parish Records held by the LDS and from wills and other sources. This tree was probably compiled by the Maitlands in the Far East about 1900 and amended later.
MB:
A copy of what appears to be a Bible entry held be Peter Rushbrooke confirms the earlier details of the Maitland Tree: From the handwriting, this manuscript was probably written by Andrew Wright Maitland, snr. (1809-56). The last entry was 1853. A transcript was also made by probably his daughter.

THE JAMAICA MAITLAND FAMILY

    The Jamaica Maitlands are descendants from John Maitland, planter and merchant of St Elizabeth. His origin is not certain, but (Feb 2006) he is thought to be of the family of Maitlands who were merchants in the City of London in the mid to late 18thC. He had been thought to be the son of the 6th son of the 6th Earl of Lauderdale, Captain Frederick Lewis Maitland (FLM) of Rankeillour (Scotland), RN, (1730-86), but this was disproved when John's will came to light referring to his mother Sarah. His planter descendants are probably responsible for most of the Maitlands in Jamaica, either "directly" or by freed slaves taking the employer's surname. The Sherman family of St Elizabeth are also descendants of John Maitland's grand-daughter.
   The Merchants of London were there were Richard, Robert snr, Robert Jnr and Alexander Maitland, merchants in the city of London trading in Jamaica in the latter half of the 18thC. They owned land on the island then. A section in the Jamaica General chapter gives brief details of their activities.
    The Maitland family were twice connected with the long established and extensive Wright and Sinclair families, who are described in a separate chapter.
   Much research (before we found he was not our ancestor!) has been done on Frederick Maitland and is on file. Details of the life of Capt Frederick Lewis Maitland, RN 1730-86 and of his Scottish descendants.
   Many of the later generations worked in the Far East, mainly China.

THE FAMILY in SUMMARY

The principal individuals are summarised below. Full details follow together with all his offspring:

John Maitland:

Full details
Summary:
Deeds in Jamaica show an indenture made 26 June 1783 between John Maitland of St Elizabeth, mariner, and Samuel Heanby, of St Elizabeth, Planter. In consideration of £81, parcel of land containing by estimate 54 acres lying in the Valle de Vache Savanna, easterly on the river called Bridge River. Valle de Vache Savanna has not been located (2002). It may be of significance that Rebecca Wright, the mother of his children, left property in Westmoreland in her will of 1805. At the moment (Jan 2007) there is no indication of what and how much this was.
The Bridge River is thought to be East of Negril in Westmoreland.
The only other reference to a John Maitland is of a seamen, William Bruce buried: 26/2/1775, St. Elizabeth, John Maitland, Master of the "Atlantic." This event is too early for Francis's birth.
He had issue by Rebecca Dunston Wright. See Wright Family for details of this and related families.

Francis (1) Maitland:

Summary:

    Francis Maitland (1) was the son of John Maitland, a merchant and planter who died soon after Francis' birth. Francis himself was also a planter owning a pen (cattle farm) called Giddy Hall in St Elizabeth parish in the South-West of the island: he acquired this sometime before 1811.
    This and other properties owned by him show him to have been a man of some substance: he inherited property from his mother, Rebecca. He was born 25/2/1784 in St Elizabeth, the son of a free Quadroon named Rebecca Wright and John Maitland (confirmed by Rebecca's will). He died in London in 1824.
    His mother was the daughter of a Mulatto, Polly, a freed slave "from the Estate of Roderick Rose". Her father was very likely to have been Dunston Wright, born 1713. He had a brother, Richard. A grave belonging to Rebecca Wright is still visible in Black River Churchyard: this grave is that of Francis' mother. She mentions Francis in her will.
    He next appears being married to Ann Wright in London in 1806; their first child, Frances, was born in London. At 5/2000, there is no information on his London life. The dates shown on the Maitland tree agree with the marriage and first child's birth in the parish records. He and Ann probably met in Jamaica, where her father, Andrew, was the owner of Mitcham & Silver Grove Pens in St Elizabeth; the Wrights moved to London at some time and a condition of Ann inheriting from her father was that she did not go to Jamaica unmarried: was this to prevent Francis marrying her, which he did soon after her father's death? This clause explains why they were married in London.

   For Ann's family, see Wright Family.

   His next entry is as an owner of slaves at Giddy Hall when his next 4 children were baptised in 1814. 12 slaves were baptised at the same time, as were 6 belonging to the estate of Andrew Wright.
    His daughter, Frances, was buried in Bristol in 1818, and so one or both of Francis and Ann were probably in England then.
    In 1821, 3 more of his children and 48 slaves were baptised at Giddy Hall. This entry calls him a free person of colour, but names his wife as Ann, reputed white. Some of the slaves were from Mitcham and Sliver Grove: these pens had presumably come into the family by then.
    The children's baptism and his slave registration after his death being held by his executor John Salmon acting as attorney to Ann Maitland and Giddy Hall Pen confirm that his plantation was Giddy Hall.
    Note Francis(2) as joint attorney in 1832.
    He appears in the Jamaica Almanacs as the proprietor of Giddy Hall, Mitcham and sometime co-owner of Silver Grove (with his brother-in-law, George Roberts, wife of Rebecca Wright).
    At his death (7/8/1924, aged 40) in London, he was described as a gentleman. An entry in the Royal Gazette for Jamaica, 22/1/1825 (PRO: CO141 22): "In England, whither he had gone for the benefit of his health, in August last, Francis Maitland esq, proprietor of Giddy Hall, Mitcham and Silver Grove in the Parish of St Elizabeth."
    Whilst he had 9 children, some of whom had offspring, it is not thought that any of the male line remained in Jamaica. His daughter, Emma, married Samuel Sherman; she was left Mitcham by her mother. Sherman's still live in the region around Mitcham, and "old Mr Sherman" of Mitcham greathouse was still remembered in 1998. The remaining known family come from 3 of his 7 sons, of whom Andrew Wright, John and Francis (2), George and Septimus survived to adulthood. Those who produced children (Andrew, Francis & Septimus) moved to England in the mid 19th Century except for Andrew although his children did move. The seventh son, Septimus, was a London tea merchant and probably encouraged his elder brother Francis 2nd's sons and grandsons to seek their fortunes in the Far East in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries as described below.
    In 2007, descendants of Andrew, Francis 2, Septimus and Emma Rebecca are known.
  Giddy Hall was a cattle pen of about 1165 acres (in 1840, the total holding was 2000 acres). Although primarily a cattle pen, Pimento was also grown, and appears in the accounts (see under Jamaica General for more details of his pens).
     When it came into Francis's possession is unknown, but the assumption is that he realised his mother's property and acquired Giddy Hall. It became the family home until it passed via his wife, his son John, John's widow, and her second husband, John Myers Cooper. The Cooper family sold it after the 2nd World War, after which it was demolished. It can be seen to have been a substantial property, probably all stonebuilt. In addition to the 75-80 slaves he had in his own name to work the place, he had a further 40-50 which were jointly owned with his wife's brother-in-law, George Roberts. See later in this section for full details of slaves held. By 20 years after his death, the Maitland property was extensive, owning much land between Black River and Lacovia.
     Mitcham pen came into his family via his wife; Silver Grove Pen adjoined Mitcham and was a shared property with George Roberts, who had married Francis' sister-in-law, Rebecca. Mitcham passed to the Sherman family, while Silver Grove passed into the Roberts family sometime after Francis' death. Silver Grove was owned by the Earl of Balcarres in 1763 (he was a sometime Governor of Jamaica).

Francis (2) Maitland:

Summary:

The father of Francis (3) Maitland.
    Francis (2) was born at Giddy Hall 29/12/1811 of Francis (1) and Ann (Wright) Maitland, and died at sea in November 1842, probably in a fierce storm in the North Sea 22-23 November, when master of a bark sailing from Newcastle to Malta and Constantinople. Unfortunately, the PRO collection lacks the copies of the Kingston Morning Herald for the relevant period: papers of the time printed a lot of "shipping intelligence", which might reveal a suitable wreck. The papers also contained death notices of many local people.
    Francis (2) spent his early life on the family pen, Giddy Hall, and was involved in the business, being referred to as joint attorney at Giddy Hall in the 1832 slave registration records (he also had problems with runaway slaves - see below!).
     Francis (2) was, for at least some of his life, a seaman. His only recorded voyage was in a commercial vessel, the Westbroke, on which he was mate on a voyage between London, Jamaica (Port Royal) and return in 1836 between January and September. His son Francis, was christened (when Francis was a "master mariner") in London 12 days after his return. There are connections with Liverpool: his son Francis was shown as being born there in the 1851 census, although he later showed it as London (ie his christening place). The 1851 information is probably the most reliable, coming from his mother. Francis' will was also drawn up in Liverpool. His second son was born in Jamaica, and so the whole family must have spent at least some time there. Giddy Hall was occupied by one brother, John, and another, Andrew was next door at Mount Charles. The interests in the family property was left all the children by their mother Ann.
    He left all in his will to his wife, including his interests in the Jamaica properties and other belongings, including his chronometer, an essential for a mariner.
    There is a mysterious reference to a ...Maitland, lady and child arriving in November 1842. We do not know who this might have been.
     He married Harriet Carpenter (22/2/1834 St Mary Stratford Bow): his proven children were Francis (3) and John Andrew (1839).
     Harriet Carpenter was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Carpenter, a farmer near Exeter, Devon, England. The Carpenter family are not easy to follow back. Francis could have met her when sailing from Exeter.
     She is the only suitable individual shown in the Exeter area, but there is an age discrepancy: was this the right one and was she understating her age later in life (she might have understated her age to her otherwise younger 2nd husband - a not unknown action)? If born 1818, as deduced from later census returns, she would only have been married at 16 and just 18 at the christening of son Francis Maitland. Harriet remarried Peter Augustus Halahan after Francis' death and produced 4 more children.
     Note that husband Francis only returned from sea 6/9/36. Francis 3 also shown born Liverpool in Census 51, but when is not known, but probably between Spring 1836 (age at census) and September 1836. She was described as "of Exeter" in Francis's will.
    After her husband died, Harriet married 17/7/1847, Peter Halahan, an Irishman in London and had further children by him. He was then a teacher, but later he was in property.
    She died of hepatitis and typhus, 28/12/1867, 407 Fulham Rd, at a quoted age of 49.

The line continues in Francis (3).

Born^MB at Giddy Hall 29th December 1811 at 1 o'clock at night.
Parents: Francis Maitland & Ann Wright.
Died: Nov 1842 Died at Sea^MT

(Kingston Herald for these few months not in PRO).

MB: (written by Andrew Wright Maitland) Francis Maitland "sailed from Newcastle on the 19th of November 1842 in the Brig "Helen Maria" of which he was Master bound to Malta and Constantinople. In Febry ensuing a plank was found near Christiansand on the coast of Norway with the name "Helen Maria" on it. It is supposed this vessel foundered in a terrific gale that raged on the English coast on the 22nd and 23rd November and every soul on board perished. The above was written 14th of June 1843 up to which date nothing further had been found of this ill fated vessel".
(Now Kristiansand, on the southern coast of Norway. In 2002, the town is a small container & ferry port, with many old stone, brick and wood buildings, typical of many Norwegian towns).

Lloyds Register 1842:
Helen Maria, a Snow, Master: Maitland, 260 Tons, coppered with iron bolts, Built Sunderland 1839, Owner Carr & Co, London. Sailing Liverpool to Rio de Janeiro. A1 condition.

There was no mention of the Helen Maria in the wreck listing to mid 1843 in the "Report on the Committee on Shipwrecks, 1843", but 2 ships lost in the North Sea 19 November 1842. An interesting report.
Francis' wife was not on the Maitland Tree, but her identity has been established from son Francis's (3) birth PR/IGI & his will, and her 2nd marriage.

Kingston Morning Herald not held in PRO copy (CO142/6) between 16/11/42 & 17/2/1843; no mention of him in the issues either side. Liverpool papers of the time also checked, but no mention found of any relevant ship accident, or indeed sailing with his name mentioned.

This is the only suitable individual shown in the Exeter area, but there is an age discrepancy: was this the right one and was she understating her age later in life (she might have understated her age to her otherwise younger 2nd husband)? If born 1818, she would only have been just 18 at the christening of son Francis Maitland and 16 or 17 when married. Note that husband Francis only returned from sea 6/9/36.
Francis 3 also shown born Liverpool in Census 51, but when is not known, but probably between Spring 1836 (age at census) and September 1836. She was described as "of Exeter" in Francis's will.
Shillingford in 1840 was a small parish consisting of a large house owned by Sir Laurence Vaughan Palk. There were few other buildings. The 1840 tithe apportionment shows no Carpenters, nor indeed any working people.

After Francis' death, she married a 2nd time (cert held):

Entered Guy's Hospital on 5/3/1824, articled to Mr Stocker. Held a certificate of Theory & Practice at Guy's dated Oct 1827 & appears in the 1830 Register of Medical Pupils as no 515, subsequently a "dresser" to Bransby Cooper, nephew of Sir Astley Cooper (knighted 1820 after removing a wart from KG V's Nose). Bransby served in the Army in Canada and the Peninsular, was appointed Ass. Surgeon & then Surgeon in 1825. He died in 1853. Maitland left Gravesend Oct 17 1830 in the SS "Hector" as ship's Surgeon on a voyage to Isle of France (Mauritius) & Ceylon returning to Gravesend on Nov 2, 1831. This voyage is described in an extract from his diary In the Appendix to this paper He then took passage for Jamaica on board the brig "Volusia" on Nov 29, 1831. He was appointed Ass. Surgeon to the St Elizabeth Regiment of Foot in Jamaica in 1834 & as a justice in Elizabeth County in 1838. Commissioned as Health Officer for the port of Black River (Cornwall County) in 1841 & elected to the Fellows of the College of Physicians & Surgeons in Jamaica in 1842.

The following from Thu, 21 Dec 2006 23:07:38 EST
Eric Politzer[iii]

Andrew Wright Maitland was hired by the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank in Shanghai (most of their staff was hired in England), and was an employee of the Bank for some 20 years, c.1875-1895. He rose to be chief accountant, and then the Bank's agent in Tientsin. There are several references to him in Vol. 1 of Frank H.H. King's History of the Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. He retired in 1895.

The Imperial Bank of China was the creation primarily of Sheng Xuanhuai (Sheng Hsuan-huai, 1844-1916), a powerful Chinese official interested in modernizing China, who was involved in railroads, telegraphs, steel mills, etc. The bank was China's first modern financial institution. It issued coins and currency. One of its purposes was to accumulate Chinese capital for modernization projects, such as railroad construction.

It was modelled on the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank, and its bylaws apparently were closely modelled on the former's. It had a combined (or perhaps parallel) Chinese and foreign staff. Andrew Maitland was hired to head the foreign staff, and, probably, to train the Chinese managers in Western banking practices.

Maitland is briefly mentioned in Albert Feuerwerker's China's Early Industrialization, a study of Sheng's career, with part of a chapter devoted to the bank.

In 2000, a collection of documents was published by the Shanghai People's Press, Chen Xulu et al., Zhongguo tong shang yinhang (the Chinese name of the Imperial Bank of China). It contains a photo of the first page of Maitland's contract with the bank, legible with a magnifying glass. Among the 600+ documents are over 50 of which Maitland was either the author or (less often) the recipient. They are all in Chinese, of course. Probably Maitland had a Chinese secretary to compose, draft or translate them. I've only glanced over them. They appear to be all of a business character. The last of them was dated August 12, 1905.
At this point, I have no idea whether the bank's archives contain a collection of documents in English, but they should.

5) I found a very brief obituary notice for Maitland in the North-China Herald (the Shanghai English-language weekly) of July 6, 1906. It had no information of value. I didn't find an account of his funeral, or any summary of his career. (referring to AW Maitland).

(Bloomsbury was a Spence property in St Elizabeth in 1845, of 226 acres, about 2 miles North of Giddy Hall.)

John Myers Cooper, died 8 December 1875 in his 61st year, his tombstone reads:

"For 30 years and upward he took a prominent part in the public affairs of the Parish of St Elizabeth. He was a man of large sympathy of great generosity and liberality and his charities though unostentatious were extensive and widely distributed. His departure is mourned by many. He contemplated the creation of a church and schoolroom on the farm pen but dying soon after work was commenced it was left to his successors to carry out."

A magistrate for Black River 1861.

Jamaica Handbook, 1891-2:
The Church of Giddy Hall is about 7 miles north of the town of Black River. The ground and the materials and a certain amount of endowment were granted by the late J. S. Cooper; while the work that was necessary for the erection of the building was very cheerfully given by the large congregation that now assembles in the Church.

The Cooper family lived at Giddy Hall until the mid 1920's, but by then had exhausted the estate and it left this branch of their family.

Died: MT: 24/6/1902. & D/C @ Tylehurst, Bexley.
Septimus Maitland came to England early in his life, probably with his mother, who died in London in 1833, and became a teabroker, operating as Maitland, Cock and Gabriel of 9, Fenchurch St, London (an address quoted on his will of 16/9/1876). At that time, he made Francis (2)'s son John Andrew one of his executors, showing a connection at the time. It seems likely that Septimus' tea connections may have been the impetus which sent Francis (3)'s children out to the Far East.
He was living at Ditton Place, Maidstone, Kent in 1861 & 71, a handsome mansion. The son and daughter of his brother, Andrew, spent their holidays there during the 1860's. He later moved to Tylehurst, near Bexley.
An intriguing line of no obvious connection with us is the (Tea) Clipper, Maitland, built in 1865 in Sunderland. There is no evidence of any connection with Septimus, but the thought is there!
From the Sunderland Echo, 1949: MAITLAND was one of the tea clippers designed by William Pile for speed, but proved in performance to be a grave disappointment.
Married:
1) Susan Mcbride 15/1/1856, Glasgow (PR).

Described variously as "Funded Proprietor", Gentleman, Farmer,

Much of this line from Alistair Angus[v], Nov 2006:
Married 18/11/1903, Fairhaven, Massachusetts:
Alice Winsor, b prob Shanghai 1875, d 17/5/1961, Harrow.
Her father at least, fourth generation sea captain (out of the east coast of the USA ), established, through him, a direct line back to several passengers on the Mayflower (Alden, Bradford, Brewster etc)..
Harry's alien passenger papers for entry into the USA from the UK in 1903. Rather ambiguously they state that he was en-route to Shanghai but would be 'remaining in Boston for a few days'! That is dated 20 October. On 14 August 1904 their only child, my grandmother, was born and was named Alma Ingraham Maitland. In due course Harry, Alice & Alma moved back to the UK and settled in Harrow. I have found a 1905 record from Harry travelling from Yokohama to San Francisco and one from 1914 (prior to the outbreak of the war) of Alice & Alma travelling to Boston to visit Alice's mother but Harry must have stayed at home or travelled by a different route.

My information is sketchy. Harry died before any of his grandchildren were born and Alice and Alma both died before I was born. Harry was quite an old father; he was 43 when Alma was born.
I am going to try and get to the Records Office in London in the New Year. There is the link with St Clement, Danes and I just wonder if anything of profit can come from that source. From sight of Francis' marriage certificate (as produced in about 1927) the information will be slight as it only records the names of the bride & groom.

JOHN MAITLAND

AM08/01

2005: My original assumptions about John Maitland's parents (Captain Hon. Frederick Lewis Maitland) were proved incorrect by the appearance of his will, which gave his mother as Sarah.
Nov 2005: my latest thoughts of his origins are on:
Maitland-Parchment Line

Partner:

REBECCA WRIGHT

AM08/02

The mother of Francis Maitland (1)
St Elizabeth PR: Born: St Elizabeth, May 1749.
Parent: Polly Rose, mulatto, father maybe Dunston Wright.
Partner: John Maitland
Died: 1805, Black River.

1/2. Richard Maitland, ch 4/8/1786. (StE PR)

ANDREW WRIGHT

Born: Abt 1752, probably England.
Parents: possibly Joseph & Elizabeth Wright of St Elizabeth.
Mistress: Ruth Sinclair, mulatto, in Jamaica.
Married: Elizabeth Mary Pusey.
Died: 24/2/1806, Mitcham, Surrey, England.

For more details see Wright Family chapter, which includes will, property and other information.

RUTH SINCLAIR

CARPENTER LINE:

The Mugford connection has been researched by:
Paul Harding, Arizona, 12/2003 [vi]
Some work by AM at Exeter RO.

JOHN CARPENTER - 1767

AM07/03

This line is somewhat speculative and requires more research.

A possibility - this is the closest John Carpenter listed on the IGI within a suitable date range:

John Carpenter C: 5/12/1769, Lympstone, Devon (IGI & PR)
Parents: Robert & Elizabeth Carpenter

Two marriages are possible, but that to Elizabeth Mugford is the most probable (date of birth and age are correct for her):

(a) Elizabeth Ledger, St Sidwell, Exeter, 3/3/1803 - PR checked
Both OTP, by banns, illiterate, he a private in the East Devon Militia.
(b) Elizabeth Mugford, Holy Trinity, Exeter, 26/6/1804 - PR Checked. He a mariner OTP, she of Lympstone, Devon, by licence

It would be logical to assume that Francis (2) Maitland would have met a mariner's family, although John was quoted to be a farmer when Harriet remarried in 1847. By then he would have long since retired from the sea (if indeed the job description was correct and not a copy of Halahan snr.). Lympstone & Topsham are adjacent parishes on the Exe estuary.

If the sequence below is correct, what was John C doing in Shillingford (only about 5 miles from Topsham)? Only the twins, Harriett & James were born in Shillingford, all the remaining supposed offspring being born at regular intervals in Topsham. Maybe John was at sea at the relevant time. It is noticeable that the other children were baptised at odd intervals, probably due to his absences.

See below for other issue of John and Elizabeth at Alphington, possibly the issue of option (a) above. Exminster and Kenn parishes were checked and no relevant Carpenters found (see below).

1841: John Carpenter, 72, Mariner, Shapter St, Topsham
This may well have been our John Carpenter.

ELIZABETH MUGFORD - 1773
