Rebellious Negroes Rise in Jamaica in 1760 Attack on Estates
The account details two Coromantee leaders Tackey and Jamaica leading a rising from Frontier Estate to Port Maria. They seize powder, arms, and goods, kill several overseers and white settlers, burn a windmill, and clash with Bayly, Cruikshark, and Crawford Town forces. Reinforcements under Captain Rigby arrive as rebels scatter into the woods.
