1. According to a publicity handout from the Mount Gay Rum distillery, the first documented evidence of the distillery dates to 20 February, 1703, the oldest record of rum distillation in the world. After various distillery and plantation owners in the early C18th, in 1747, the property was sold to John Sober. He enlisted Sir John Gay Alleyne to manage the estate. "Alleyne introduced new strains o
f cane, improved crop yield and enhanced the production process, innovations so significant that on his death in 1801, the Sobers named the estate for him." In 1858, the Thornhill family bought the estate.2. The claim on the enslaved of the state names Thomas Thornhill as awardee (trustee): see claim Barbados 4629 (Mount Gay).
