Located in Jamaica's Trelawny Parish, the Barrett family's Cambridge estate was economically tied to the neighboring Oxford plantation, both of which were inherited by Edward Barrett Moulton Barrett, the father of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Like Cornwall and Oxford, it lacked a main house and was thus primarily used for the production of crops and goods rather than residence. Though records predominantly indicate yields of sugar and rum, cattle, copper, and iron are also variously mentioned, along with an enslaved population ranging from the 200s to the low 300s.
