Settler Handbook Content: | No. 19 on the Colonial Department list, led by Thomas Philipps, a gentleman banker of Haverford West, Pembrokeshire. This was a Proprietary party consisting of Philipps and his family and servants, accompanied by a young doctor, Robert Currie, who had initially applied to emigrate to the Cape as an independant settler at his own expense but subsequently arranged to join Philipps' party instead. The men were mostly recruited in Pembrokeshire, but four last minute replacements - W B Jones, Larkum, Rickards and Shellard - were probably engaged at Bristol shortly before sailing. Apart from Philipps' owm family there was only one married man and no young children in the party.
