These were transported to Montserrat in June” A description follows of the 150 rebels which Mr. Smith took at Lincoln, York, and Lancaster prisons in October 1746… The name, age, profession, county, and stature of each, with remarks, were given in every case… “There was an Edinburgh writer, George Hume, age 30, marked as a ‘Black man’ whose colour would, no doubt, suit the West Indies” SOURCE; (J.
