Editing Henry Morgan (section)

==Slave plantations==
By the 1670s and 1680s, Morgan, as owner of three large plantations, led three campaigns against the [[Jamaican Maroons]] of [[Juan de Serras]]. Morgan achieved some success against the Maroons, who withdrew further into the [[Blue Mountains (Jamaica)|Blue Mountains]], where they were able to stay out of his reach. However, Morgan failed in his attempts to capture de Serras and subdue his community of runaway slaves.{{sfn|Campbell|1988|pp=23, 32–33}}

By the time of his death, Morgan owned three plantations [[slave|enslaving]] large numbers of Africans. He left most of his estate to his wife for her lifetime. On her death, most of his land and slaves were passed to his nephew Charles, second son of Robert Byndloss, who served as Chief Justice of Jamaica in 1681. Morgan also left a parcel of land in the now-defunct parish of St George to another Robert Byndloss (born c. 1673) the eldest son of his brother-in-law Robert Byndloss.{{sfn|"Sir Henry Morgan".

Morgan also left some land in [[Saint Mary Parish, Jamaica]], to his friend, Roger Elletson, ancestor of a future governor of Jamaica with the same name. Morgan's will was probated in 1689, and at his death he owned title to 131 Africans as slaves on his estates, 64 men and 67 women, including 33 children, valued at £1,923.{{sfn|"Sir Henry Morgan".
