The Jefferson family, wine merchants, imported wine and spirits for over two centuries until 1998. Their story is covered by The Rum Story.[3] Brothers Henry and Robert Jefferson had joint interests in two estates in Antigua leased from Rear Admiral Sir William Ogilvy, father of Sir John Ogilvy, 9th Baronet.[4] These were York's Estate (which had 146 enslaved people)[5] and the New Division Estate (309 enslaved people)[6] There is also a Margarett Jefferson listed in connection with the Bahamas, and a Thomas Jefferson in Jamaica.[7]
