Rabaca Estate
Shepard shows Rabacca as formed from two of the grant of Carib lands by Governor Bentinck c. 1804, 310 acres to John Smith and 100 acres to John Prest. John Smith and Alexander Cumming were awarded £1200 (of an Estimated loss of £4780) after the 1812 eruption. Shepard also showed the largest single compensation payment for the volcanic eruption went to Robert Sutherland, who was awarded £5,300 (of
an Estimated Loss of £19,378) for Rabacca. This is the only association found by LBS between Rabacca and Robert Sutherland, who owned the Orange Hill and Waterloo estates (adjacent to Rabaca) at the time of the Slave Registers.
