Line 114: ==South Andros== {{Unsourced\|section\|date=July 2023}} There are three settlements in the Bahamas called "The Bluff". The first is on [[South Andros]] Island. It is the most densely populated settlement on the island. It hosts a Homecoming every year, the first weekend in June on its Regatta site. Also, the Bluff is home to the 'Government' buildings like the police station, the Post Office and [[BaTelCo (Bahamas)\|BaTelCo]]. ==North Eleuthera== {{Moresources\|section\|date=July 2023}} Another settlement called "The Bluff" (or simply "Bluff") is on the west coast of North Eleuthera Island. In 1783, after he had served with the Pennsylvania Loyalists and the Carolina Rangers, James Kelly (1754-1808), cited as entering the Bahamas via East Florida and accompanied by Hugh Kelly was awarded 500 acres in the vicinity of Bluff, Eleuthera. James Kelly married first Susan Turner then Elizabeth Kemp and had a plantation at Bluff. A plantation house may have been built but the location of its remains is unknown. It seems likely that the Kellys left Bluff. Indeed historic records of Kelly descendants are found at Current, Harbour Island, Nassau all in the Bahamas and Key West, Florida. Records for Kellys of African ancestry, presumably former slaves are also found in the vicinity.
