Bounty Hall in Trelawny, Jamaica is the birthplace of John Kenyon (the poet), who belonged to a family called Kennion, later Kenyon.
Because of its strategic location half way between the Cockpit Country and Falmouth, and being on open land where you could see any ambush, this would have been an ideal place for the Maroons to hand over escaped slaves to the British in return for a bounty-payment as per their 1738 Treaty
