George Nedham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Nedham (Needham) was a supporter of the Royalist cause during the English Civil War who, following their defeat at the Battle of Worcester in 1651, emigrated to the West Indies.[1] First he went to Antigua, and later migrated to Jamaica. Here he married the daughter of Governor Thomas Modyford and became a prominent planter in the colony.[2]
In 1677 he was returned, alongside Fulke Rose, as a representative of Saint Thomas in the Vale Parish in the House of Assembly of Jamaica.[3]
