Martha Brae River

	Martha Brae River The Martha Brae River is a river of Jamaica. It is located in Trelawny on the north coast of Jamaica, towards the western edge, about 6 miles south of Falmouth which is in Trelawny Jamaica. The river features rafting. A small village west of the river is named Martha's Brae because of this nearby river. Northwest of the village is ''Gun Hill'', where judge John Bradshaw was reportedly re-buried by his son James Bradshaw, to prevent desecration of his father's remains by King Charles II of England.
