Thank you for finding the graves and doing the filming it is more than interesting it is also our history and i mean all of Jamaica not just the remaining Taylors.
Thank you This is amazing ! I live in the UK. My heritage is Jamaican. Both parents born in Jamaica. I have been to St Thomas many times. These tours are brilliant and should be tailored for schools and to show tourists another aspect of Jamaica’s history.

Very insightful. All of the information you presented are new to me, yet I lived in St. Thomas almost all my life, including Lyssons. Thanks for the lesson..
See my reply on here. All those people are in my family tree. My relatives married into the Hope and Levy family. I have lots of information on those families. Now I know where they are buried.
Well done Alexx! You wouldn't stop till you found the graveyard and the tower. Perseverance paid off big for you! St Thomas is sure filled with History! ❤️
I am so happy you are back we miss you for a while welcome back bless up. I would like to know if there are any peice of land are selling where you're now at st Thomas. Let me get your answer in the comments.
Ok 👌 1863 - 1974 thx for getting back to that - I truly appreciate that lady for her bit of knowledge thank you dear lady for just doing this 🙏🏾 this is the kind of people I know we Jamaican are.
Sir John Taylor, 1st Baronet (1745-1786) and his elder Brother, the Hon. Simon Taylor (1739-1813) , were originally both buried at Prospect Pen (now Vale Royal) in St. Andrew. However after the Hon. Simon Taylor died in 1813, Prospect Pen (Vale Royal) was sold and the two Coffins were then exhumed and taken on the back of a mule dray to Lyssons Estate in St. Thomas where they were reburied.
At 21:34 I believe the tombstone reads: "after an active life..." What makes it hard to read is that it seems that they may have made a tiny mistake during the inscription, and then corrected it. This is the burial ground of those who enslaved our ancestors, so I doubt any of those they enslaved were buried there. Our African ancestors, and their immediate descendants, weren't afforded such respect and dignity. I'm learning a lot from your channel.
Yes that's how Lyssons got it's name: Lord of Lyssons he was one of the person send to Jamaica to rule. Good job Elex, there a Chinese cemetery somewhere there too.
History lesson. Remember. R.N M. songs... Don't forget ; Peter Tosh, Gladiators etc etc etc etc etc... They were not lying.... What's hidden must come to light. (230821)

I am a decent of the Taylor family, most of our Taylor family are buried in St Elizabeth. My great Grandfather owned a large part of St Elizabeth, especially where Appleton estate is. All around Appleton Estate belonged to the Taylor family as far as your eyes can see. Id Love to know more about the Taylor family. They came from Scotland and part of their family surname is called Dunn.
How 🤔❓come you haven't find any of the slave's graves and where they're buried, those graves you found they're for the slave's trader's I want to hear about my people who's live's we're taken away from beating and over worked.
I assume that many Africans and their descendants who died during slavery may not have gotten a tombstone, since the families couldn't afford it. When you look at the photographs from that period, they couldn't even afford shoes. An awful time in Jamaica's history.

It's not levi but Levy.. Charles Hope Levy born 1855 died 1927 Hope was his maternal name. A cousin of mine had a children with one of his relative. His children had the same Hope middle name. It's from the maternal line.
Please don’t spend so much time walking to your locations, edit so you can show more of the ruins. Don’t be afraid to enter the buildings and do some digging and metal detector…we owe the ancestors that much…
