The Stirlings

Parrot

We are grateful for the help of Jude Skurray with this entry.

The Stirlings were, and are, from Perthshire in Scotland.   Two branches of the family owned estates in Jamaica:

  • The Stirlings of Kippendavie owned Content & Equity in the parish of St James.

  • The Stirlings of Keir owned Hampden Estate (originally in the parish of St. James, then in "Trelawney" when parishes were reconfigured in 1770; the current spelling is "Trelawny").   The Stirlings of Keir also owned Frontier in the parish of St. Mary and, briefly, Friendship in Westmoreland.
