[Name] Burton's  

Acquired by Colonel Charles Price in 1725 when he bought the life interest of Francis Rose's Jamaican estates from John Rose of London.

In fact when Charles Price bought the interest in this land in 1725, it was still owned by Elizabeth Rose nee Price, who inherited a life interest from her husband Francis Price when her son Thomas Price died s.p. in 1724. Elizabeth herself died in 1727 whereupon the estate devolved to Francis's nephew John Rose.

Colonel Charles Price bought the life interest along with Bagnall's Ticket (later The Decoy), Savanna (or Old Works) and Rose Hall (or New Works), land in Halfway Tree and two houses in Spanish Town, for a total of £10,000 sterling.
