     Hi Glenn. If you are able to locate an obituary for your GrtGrd Father, it should tell you where his burial took place. Unfortunately the site that holds that information is down at the moment and they state it will not be “back up” until about the end of March.

       Gerald Emanuel Anderson, your description of him as “The Custodian” of family land in Clarendon strongly suggests a burial according to traditional Jamaican rural customs.

       Likely Burial Locations

       • Family Plot (Private Land): Given his role as the guardian of family land and oral history, it is highly probable he was buried in a family plot on the ancestral land he protected. In rural Jamaica, it is a deeply rooted tradition for “custodians” and patriarchs to be buried on their own property to remain with the land and the ancestors.

   • John Thomas Anderson: A primary heir who took over management during the mid-19th century. He is credited with shifting the family’s focus to the Four Paths district. He managed the family’s holdings during the critical transition period following the abolition of slavery in the 1830s. Jamaican Family Search Genealogy Research Library +2

   The Grantham Branch (Late 19th Century)

   • James Anderson (1860–1949): Born in Jamaica to George Anderson and Ann Allison, he represents the 4th generation of the lineage.
     • Expansion: He founded the “Grantham branch” of the family in northwest Clarendon while maintaining ties to the Four Paths relatives.
     • Family Legacy: He married Susan Williams in 1882 and was known for his longevity (passing away at age 90) and for raising a large family of 11 children. 

   The Modern Custodian

   • Gerald Emanuel Anderson: Often referred to as “The Custodian,” he remained in Jamaica as the primary guardian of family land and oral history. His role was vital for verifying land boundaries for relatives living abroad, ensuring that the subdivided family plots remained within the lineage.
