“YS” is the name of the estate and river near to Middle Quarters, St. Elizabeth. The origin of the name is uncertain as on early maps it is spelled Wyess and is said to be derived from a Gaelic word meaning wind. It is possible that the “YS” was originally the estate mark which would have been stamped on hogsheads of sugar.
