In 1723 a series of deeds resulted in the physical division in 2 equal parts including physical division of the buildings and sugar works of the Chamberlaine鈥檚 plantation, between Manuel Manasses Gilligan and Robert Allen. Gilligan got the eastern half, Allen the western portion. Then in 1728 Manuel Manasses Gilligan bequeathed all real estate to his kinsman Andrew Murray.
