Winthorps Platation in Antigua was a sugar mill plantation that was established with the arrival of Barbadian-born British soldier, plantation and slave owner Christopher Codrington. In the 1800s, Winthorps contained 231 acres and housed 153 enslaved peoples. This plantation was also unique because its first enslaved peoples were American Indians forced from Massachusetts to work in the Caribbean by the original settlers of Red Hill Farm in New England.
In "The History if Mary Prince":
"While we were at Date Hill Christmas came; and the slave woman who had the care of the place (which then belonged to Mr. Roberts the marshal), asked me to go with her to her husband's house, to a Methodist meeting for prayer, at a plantation called Winthorps. I went; and they were the first prayers I ever understood. "
