Jesse Mulreeny (1746-1795) was a Jamaican shipwright and militiaman who lived in Kingston during the late 18th century. The son of the freeborn mulatto Samuel Mulreeny and his Scottish wife, he had a lower-middle-class upbringing in Kingston and was both a woodworker and a member of the colonial militia. He was occasionally called up to help suppress slave conspiracies, including the planned uprising of 1776. He was killed by Maroon rebels in 1795 during the Second Maroon War, leaving behind three sons, including Henry Mulreeny. Mulreeny was a Tory, adapting his family's commercialist Whig views to a "new Toryism" that strongly asserted Parliamentary authority, British commercial privileges, and social order in the colonies.
