Jamaica and Barbados

[annebagby]

When did the English start moving to Jamaica and Barbados?

Basil Woodd/Wood moved there after his wife's death in 1730 and died there in 1734.

Just curious about the timeline of settlement by the English.

Jamaica was captured by Englsih forces, from the Spanish, in 1655

Captain Powell landed on Barbados in 1625 to claim it for the Crown. A group of 80 English settlers with 10 slaves, landed in early 1627.
