Les Afro-Néo-Écossais à l'époque de l'esclavage et de l'abolition

Maisons appartenant à la famille Colley, sur les terres de la ferme du gouverneur, à Preston

Lieutenant Governor Wentworth employed a number of Maroons on his farm and in his household, as well as a few at Government House. Wentworth kept a Maroon mistress. They had at least one child, George Wentworth Colley (1804-1893). Wentworth's farm was located near the foot of Long Lake. The house on the left was built, probably by George W. Colley, on part of the foundation of Wentworth's original farmhouse. The house on the right had been recently built by a descendant of George W. Colley.
