Note.------ The names with the * are such as become free settlers, or maroons deceased and struck off.

Those with the † signify maroons whose names were omitted in former returns by superintendents.

Those with the ≠ signify maroons who have not presented themselves to the superintendent, and are unknown.

I certify the above to be a correct return, to the best of my knowledge and belief

                                                                                    Thomas Wright, superintendent.
