Known as "The Emancipator of slaves", the noble Marquess had earned himself a renowned place in Jamaican history for his two year term of office. His had been the unenviable task of supervising the first stage of Emancipation which was unpopular with the reactionary planters for whom the abolition of slavery assuredly meant financial ruin. In Desperation, many of these planters subsequently sold their vast estates to the local managers who were known as "Bushas".

Sligo himself was among the first to free his slaves on his Jamaican estate - Kelly's and Cocoa Walks estates- which he had inherited from his ancestors, the Kellys and Brownes of Ireland; Jamaican settlers from the late 1600's. The Brownes became wealthy and were numbered among the respected members of the plantocracy who were famous for their entertaining and the variety of food they served. In Jamaica their name has always been pronounced " Browney".

A descendant of the family Sligo, Charles Adolphus Thorburn Browne- familiarly Known as Charlie Browne- has spent most of his 75 years " cooking up a storm". He whiled away many hours of his boyhood days in the kitchen of his family home, Tryall Estate in Hanover, western Jamaica. Later, Cooking became a hobby and he retrieved from his family archives recipes for authentic Jamaican sauces, jams, pickles and condiments made from the great variety of exotic Jamaican fruits and vegetables; all unique, spicy and delicious. Specially selected recipes from his treasure trove are now being prepared and bottled for Busha Browne's Company in Jamaica to be enjoyed today as much as they were over 200 years ago.
