Hacienda Del Palomar was owned by José Machado who also was shareholders and vice president of the short lived Central Camuy.   José Ferreras Pagán in his 1902 book Biografía de las Riquezas de Puerto Rico states that Machado did not want to appear in his book therefore gave no information on the hacienda. He states though, that at the time Hacienda del Palomar consisted of two hundred fifty four cuerdas of which eighty were planted with sugarcane and that by 1902 it had installed the steam driven mill from Hacienda Santa Rita in Manatí that had recently shut down to become part of Central Monserrate. The book Puerto Rico Coffee and Sugar Cane Plantation Tokens by Luis Rodriguez Vazquez has a list of coffee and sugar haciendas in existence in the 19th and early 20th Centuries which include Hacienda Palomar owned by José Machado in Barrio Morell of Camuy. The years of operation of Hacienda del Palomar are unknown though.

In 1903José Machado signed a Distillers Bond as surety for Osvaldo Laborde, securing the government for the payment of taxes related to the manufacture and sale of rum by Laborde on his Hacienda Maria Teresa in Camuy. The 1910 census records list José Antonio Machado Amador (1858-1943) as a sugarcane planter. In 1887 José Machado Amador married Casimira Gonzalez Machado whom he divorced in 1901, the year he married Cecilia Román Rivera.  José and Cecilia had a daughter named Teresa Machado Román (1883-1977) who married Osvaldo Laborde Quintero (1873-1944) on April 18, 1903.  This is the same Osvaldo Laborde for whom José signed the bond stated above. 

José was the first cousin of Demetria Machado Amador (1849-1936), the wife of Pedro Amador Perez (1841-1902) owners of Hacienda Fortuna in Isabela. ​The drone pictures of the sole remains of this plantation pictured below were taken in 2022 by and provided courtesy of Carlos Alemán.
