Subject: JAMAICA - "Teparoon"

I came acrross the word "teparoon" on a early 1800's church christening record
for St. Elizabeth in Jamaica: it is the description of a person's "color". I
am familiar with "quadroon", but not "teparoon": Does anyone have any idea
what this means. It could also be "Separoon", the first letter was hard to
read.

Thanks in advance.
