Notes |
- Dorothea Rowse wrote in October 2017:
1. Sarah Newth must have been at least 18 at her marriage and was therefore born in about 1784. Her last child was born in 1830 when she would have been 46, the very end of her childbearing years and there had seemingly been no children between 1819 and 1830.
2. The gap between the first child and the others can be explained by William’s service as a Marine – he was pensioned off in 1815.
3. Sarah was a spinster of Plympton St Mary parish at her marriage but was probably not born in Devonshire.
4. Newth only joined the Party in late October 1819. (Cooper’s list, 10 November 1819) According to Cooper he only had three children to accompany him.
5. His daughter Elizabeth was born just before embarkation so the Embarkation List in Theal states that four children embarked. She was not listed as arriving but this was probably incorrect and she survived to marry in 1844. The disembarkation lists are not accurate and it is unlikely that there were 2 children called Elizabeth.
6. Newth was a Marine who served on HMS Belle Isle at the battle of Trafalgar.
7. He was married by July 1802 when a sum of money was paid to his wife from Plympton.
8. In 1845 he held Lot no 7, 18 morgen and 45 roods, which was the remaining extent of his original share.
9. His family was affected by the unrest at the Cape – his son William and Alfred Brent were attacked at Salem Hill when taking wages from Bathurst to Grahamstown in April 1852. He himself was wounded in an attack on his store in 1834.
10. He left a small piece of land, about 30 acres, near Clumber when he died.
11. His eldest son William joined the Cape Mounted Regt of Riflemen in 1836 and served with them until 1850.
12. Amelia helped Thomas Shone with the ploughing in May 1839. In April of the same year Thomas Shone made some shoes for Thomas.
Grahamstown Journal 24 March 1869
DIED, Wm. NEWTH, an old man-o’-war’s man, in his 90th year, father-in-law of Mr. J.C. PERKS, of this town. This event took place on Saturday afternoon, at Mr. PERKS’ residence, on the west bank of the Buffalo [5 & 7 Smith Street, East London]. The late Mr. NEWTH was one of the few survivors of the battle of Trafalgar, in October 1805, when he served on board the Bellisle. The gallant veteran entered the Royal Marines in the year 1793, and served on board the Caesar from 1798 to1801, when he was transferred to the Braulieu for twelve months. In 1802 he took a berth on board the Bellisle and served until the end of the year 1805, being present in that vessel throughout the Battle of Trafalgar. In 1806 he joined the Attack Brig, and remained with her until 1810; on June 10th of that year he left that vessel for the Revenge, on board of which he served until 1814; after which he served on board the Indiana for a brief period, and was finally transferred to the Impregnable until December 1815, when he was pensioned off.
