In 1812, a community of runaways started when a dozen men and some women escaped from the sugar plantations of Trelawny into the Cockpit Country, and they created a village named Me-no-Sen-You-no-Come. It is located near some cliffs and boasted fertile soils in its valleys. The community grew from its start of less than 20 runaway slaves to a large village that supported 14 buildings with shingle roofs and wood floors, raised poultry, hogs and nearly two hundred acres of cultivated land, thickly planted with provisions.[3][4]
It is believed that runaway slaves who secured their freedom during the Second Maroon War, and had been a part of the community of Cuffee (Jamaica), joined Me-no-Sen-You-no-Come in succeeding years. This place in Jamaica is really deep rural and hilly lots of trees so I can see really why it was a spot to take refuge
