Thomas Craskell
Thomas Craskell was a Jamaican engineer and painter active in the eighteenth century.
He was a military engineer for most of his life. From 1756 to 1761 he worked with James Simpson in conducting a survey of Jamaica which resulted in three maps which could be combined to create an overall map 90 x 38 inches in size.[1]
In 1758 he started the supervision of the King's House in Spanish Town.[1]
