if their descendants are still enjoying this money. We should find them and demand they give it all back to the poor of Jamaica

I watched this 10 years ago..... and it has stayed in my mind for many years. I have finally found it again!!! I tried to use AI to find it based on my memories of this video. The AI tried to tell me it was Sir John Throckmorton.... I am so glad I found this story. What a wild and interestingly strange person and life they lived. What history Jamaica holds.

My mother's maiden name was Beckford and she was from Flower Hill (Pennycook) on the Westmoreland/Hanover border. She said some of her father's relatives had "blue eyes and blond hair". As children when we went for holidays, we would bathe in the CABARITA River mentioned in the documentary.
