The Spaniards thought that in Liguanee, was to be found good Gold and Copper Oar, for when Sir Thomas Lynch sent to know of the old Inhabitants of Jamaica at Cuba, where they had found Mines in Jamaica, they answered in Liguanee, but that they never had wrought them.

When I was at Liguanee, I was inform'd that there was a Plantation in the Mountains belonging to Captain Harrison, where was a Garden the best furnished of any in the Island with European Garden Plants; such as are either used for Physick, for the Kitchen, or for Ornament. The high situation of the place made it fitter for the Production of these Vegetables, because the higher the cooler, and that generally there are more Rains and Showers on Mountains than in the Valleys. Here follows a List of the European Plants I met within this Garden, and of those which I observ'd to grow in other parts of the land. They all thrive almost as well as in Europe, save Wheat, Oats, and Apples.
