Although there is no proof that this is the John that is Michael Gregory Constantine's father John and Eleanore had nine children of which Rev Michael Gregory Constantine was Reverend at St Cyprian's Church, St Mary and studied in England. He appears on the 1851 England and Wales census as a divinity student lodging at 13 & 14 Norfolk Sq, St Clement Danes, Westminster, London. Family lore says that when he finished his studies he was travelling to Cartagena, Columbia and stopped in Jamaica to visit his brothers who lived in Sav La Mar and instead of continuing his travels he bought Clermont (or Claremont) Estate in High Gate, St Mary and married Charlotte Anglin Tate who lived in Westmoreland. Family lore also states that Michael and his bride rode by horseback from Westmoreland to St Mary. They had ten children and both he and his wife were buried in the Church Yard of St Cyprian's.
