Notes:

On the road from Grahamstown to Port Alfred lies Bathurst, founded in 1820,
named after the colonial secretary, Lord Bathurst and intended to be the
administrative centre of the Settler Country. The town lost its status to
Grahamstown.The Anglican St. John's Church, built in 1832, is an historical monument. It
was used as a refuge before it was completed and in 1834 came under determined
attack. Women and children sheltering in the church loaded guns while their
men held off an army of warriors until relief arrived from Grahamstown. The
church was fortified with outer earthen works and was the strong-point of a
countryside reduced to ruin. Again, in 1846, the church was beseiged. It also
provided protection for local inhabitants during the war of 1850-53.One of the first settlers in Bathurst, Thomas Hartley, built a forge and Inn
in 1821. Burnt down, looted, re-stocked, this Inn, The Pig and Whistle, still
survives.The Methodist Church in Bathurst, also a historical monument, withstood the
siege of 1846 and an attack in 1836.Two kilometres from Bathurst is a vantage point known as Thornridge. From
here, Colonel Jacob Cuyler, the man in charge of allocating farms to the
settlers, directed them to their future homes. In 1968 a toposcope was built
here around a beacon erected in 1859. This toposcope has 57 bronze plates
around it indicating where parties of settlers were allocated farms. From here
the whole coastline of the Settler Country is visible.He was an original 1820 Settler - arrived with his parents aged 1.

'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
