surname "Painter or Paynter" Jamaica 1807

[C.M.Codrington]

I wondered if any listmembers have ever encountered the name "Painter" while
researching in Jamaica prior to 1810 or so. Searches in Jamaica Family
Research and other sources have yielded nothing, although I have seen the
name once or twice on later maps relating to several plantations in the
general vicinity of Port Antonio.

I'm trying to determine if the family has ties to Connecticut and may have
been a merchanting family which acquired interests in eastern Jamaica as a
consequence of their accounts in Ja.

Any leads very much appreciated

Would there be any connection to the Paynters in Bermuda?

I really don't know. I have so little on them! There are a bunch in New
Haven CT original settlers but I've never made any connection, There are of
course a bunch of them in England etc

Thanks for your help
