Hans Henrik Berg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Hendrik Berg or Hans Henrik Berg (1789-1862) was Governor of St. Thomas, St. John in 1848 and again in 1853–1862, in the Danish West Indies.

The Jossie Gut Historic District, included in Virgin Islands National Park on Saint John, U.S. Virgin Islands, is the site of his sugar plantation which he owned from 1820 on.[1]

"Hans Henrik Berg (born 1789, died 1862, private archives no. 6783, 1 box), consist of documents concerning the family’s claim on the sugar plantations and on St. Thomas around 1845. Berg was vice-governor and legal adviser to the family."[2]
