Was there ever a brother Thomas ? This name was not given to any of Francis' children whereas all the other names of his siblings were.
He was brought up to agriculture and the management of cattle in the county of Shrop¬shire. He emigrated as an indentured servant to J.C.Chase, and married a fellow-servant, Mary Williams of Welshpool. He was originally located with Bailie's subdivision of the party at The Hope, but subsequently farmed a share of the general location, which he was granted in his own right. In addition, he purchased John Duffy's share of the location, which was transferred to him in 1847. He remarried about 1840, after the death of his first wife. He commanded the burgher forces at Cuylerville in the war of 1846, and died
there in 1873 leaving a widow and 12 children: Elizabeth (Fairley), George, Mary Ann (Hulley), James, Charles, Walter, Harriet (Pittman), Sarah, William, Abigail, John and Joseph. His estate consisted of landed property at Cuylerville, and cattle.

Notes:

1820 Settler, member of Bailie's Party aboard the ship Chapman.
from Rootsweb posted by Carol Forsberg in 2010:
An original 1820 Settler (Gunsmith), Party: Bailie's; Ship: Chapman. E. Morse-Jones :- 1781 - A gunsmith he sailed in "Chapman" in 1819. He directed a division of Bailie's party after they reached their location. He painted in oils, including a fine self-portrait and portraits of his sons.
15 Sept 1827 - Surveyor Smith's diagrams included his farm, THORN FARM.Bailie's Party of Settlers - A collective experience in emigration - M.D. Nash
(A.A. Balkema). The following are extracts:-Land Grant Timothy
Flanegan :- Size 208 Morgen. Date of grant, 15/9/1841.
Survevor-general's diagram no. 216/1827.Biography - Timothy
(1781-c1826) - Gunsmith - (Pg 141).
Although described in the party lists as a gunsmith, there is no evidence that he practised this trade in the Colony. He joined J.E. Ford's sub-division of Bailie's Party but re-organised it under his own leadership in February 1821.
By 1824 he had acquired a considerable herd of cattle. He was granted a share of the Party's location. According to his death notice he was born in England, the son of Nicholas Flanegan, and died during 1824.
The death notice was only filed in 1853 and its information about his date of death is incorrect: He was present at a meeting of Bailie's Party in 1826 (5/2/1826) His daughter, Mary Ann married W.O. Lloyd (See Lloyd, Henry) and died young. Mrs Mary Flanegan died before 1835, and Flanegan's share of the location, named St Ann's Vale, was inherited by his three surviving children, James, Arthur and Elizabeth (Moorcroft).Was the name St Ann's Vale changed to Thorn farm?? Could it be that because the farm was surveyed after Timothy's death and granted after both he and his wife had passed on, the children renamed it? The farm may also have been sub-divided and James' portion became Thorn farm.Captain Trappe's was called on to intervene when Timothy Flanegan and his wife threatened and vilified William Hart after he had shot at their goats in his cornfield; and Flanegan and Henry Belmour combined to terrorise John Lawler and his women-folk, and insulted Mrs Lawler and her sister with scurrilous language.The Albany Settlers had discovered that a few hundred acres of Suurveld soil could not provide a family with a living. The Settlers who stayed to farm at Cuylerville, among them Timothy Flanegan, extended their land by the purchase of other allotments on the location. The value of land slumped during the general exodus from Albany after the war of 1834-35. They stood their ground through two more frontier wars. In 1846 the schoolhouse at Cuylerville provided a laager for the scattered inhabitants of the district, while homesteads and stacks belonging to amongst others, Timothy Flanegan, went up in flames. In 1851, during the 8th Frontier War, the defenders of Cuylerville included Timothy Flanegan.
NOTE: This last statement about Timothy Flanegan being involved in the defence fo Cuylerville in 1851 conflicts with a date of death in 1824 - suggest the death notice is correct at 1853.

From marriage records of his daughter Mary Ann, she was a Catholic.

Timothy married Mary Coleditch, 1820 Settler on 1 Aug 1802 in St James, Picadilly, Westminster, London, England. Mary was born in 1780 in England; died before Jan 1835 in Thorn farm, Albany, Eastern Cape, South Africa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The surname 'Meath' was found on the death notice of her daughter Elizabeth Moorcroft for her, but it appears that this was a mistake. During 1829 she applied to the Matrimonial Court to marry John Fennin who was born in Ireland, and a farrier in the Cape Mounted Rifles. On the application it is stated that her surname was Coleditch, widow of Timothy Flanegan.

In a partial transcription of a film from the Family History Centre, entitled "Matrimonial Court Minutes and Special Licenses: 1821-1884", the following: Entry #204, Husband John FENNIN, 36, Catholic, Ireland, Farrier in the Cape Mounted Rifle Corps, Widower, no children. Wife: Mary COLEDITCH, 49, Protestant, England, Widow of Timothy Flannegan. Date: 3/4/1829.

'Extract from the Title Deeds granted to Richard, the settler, "I do hereby grant unto Richard Hulley a piece of land, containing six hundred and ninety four morgen situated in the Division of Albany, being a portion of the location of Cawood's party bounded on the North east by the Cap River, South by Wainwright's, Mauncey's and Mandy's Party, and in the North West by David Cawood's,William Gradwell and Robert Kilbrook's."23rd day of June 1847 (Signed by) Sir Henry Pottinger, Governor of the Cape of Good Hope'


Richard and Ann were 1820 settlers. Arrived on the ship Stentor as members of Richardson's Group [21]. N.B. his age is given in burial register as 99 yr 10 mo, but this is incorrect (94 ys 10 mo). There is no gravestone for Richard in the Cradock cemetery [6]. Cutler's apprentice 1797 [33].

Richard William Hulley, the 1820 settler patriarch came with his wife and four children. Five more were born here. It took enterprise and courage for anyone, no matter how poor, to abandon his home in Britain in 1820 and migrate to a far and unknown part of the world such as Southern Africa. The difficulties, delays and expenses of transport were such that once leaving his native soil, the emigrant knew that it was unlikely that he would see his old home again.
Hard work and frontier dangers kept most immigrants to their lands. (95y).

The cemetery is situated in the grounds of the Methodist Church on Mount Mercy. On 16th April, 1826, the people were very apprehensive while 40 elephants passed this first church, on their way to feeding sites. Ann born & married at Bandon not Brandon - Richard's army records confirm. Bandon lies on the Bandon river in Cork County
