Pembroke Estate in Trelawny, Jamaica once owned by John Blagrove was one of John Tharp's numerous estates. In 1840 the Jamaica Almanac reports that it consisted of 1900 acres and belonged to Frederick Coore. It presently belongs to the Muschett family, who also own Wales, Merrywood, Holland andpart of Potosi.
The name comes from Wales: Pembroke Estate shares a boundary with Wales Estate. Maybe there was some chauvinism going on between this group and the Dundee/Dumfries Scots neighbours not far away!
