Ten years later - here's an answer to get you started:
http://books.google.com/books?id=6-H-lvqFjfcC&pg=PA92&dq=%22Alexander+Campbell%22+Berbice+planter&lr=&as_drrb_is=q&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&as_brr=0&cd=2#v=onepage&q=Baillie&f=falsehttp://books.google.com/books?id=6-H-lvqFjfcC&pg=PA92&dq=%22Alexander+Campbell%22+Berbice+planter&lr=&as_drrb_is=q&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&as_brr=0&cd=2#v=onepage&q=Baillie&f=false

Google Books has a title called:
"Scotland, the Caribbean and the Atlantic World, 1750-1820" by Douglas Hamilton.It explains how the Baillie's came to be in the Caribbean.Not just Jamaica, but also Grenada and other islands.

The Baillies also had a close relationship with Thomas Campbell, the poet, back in Scotland.Dr. Baillie wrote a book about him - I think it was the "Life and Letters..."The "West Indies" includes many islands, and also parts of South America such as Guyana - including Berbice & Demerara.Look there as well.

Some of these folks had a habit of taking on another name - sometimes STEWART, CAMPBELL, etc..So...you might start out looking for a BAILLIE, but have to see who they married, inherited from, etc..
