• Occupation: Hoggsback farm, Peddie District, Eastern Cape, South Africa; a Farmer

Notes:

He was granted a farm on the coast in the Peddie district and named it 'Hogsback'. This is where most of most of their children were born & grew up.
He had till then been farming Oliveburn with his brother Benjamin. The conditions of the grant were:- That there should be at least two able-bodied and armed men on the property. The homestead should be built of brick or stone. The men should be available when called upon for the defence of the district.John was given a farm in the Peddie District (Services rendered in 1835 war).
He took up this grant around 1857-8 and died 10 years later. (Doris Stirk)According to William Jervois - Albany Museum - Genealogy Dept. - From notes made by E. Morse Jones (Whose sources are unknown) the following :-Elizabeth Flanegan - c. 1835 she was born to Ann, wife of James Flanegan.
9-2-1852 she was married to John, son of James Randall at Bathurst.
c. 1870 her husband John died.
7-3-1871 she was married to Alfred Usher.A good-looking man who wore a scarf round his mouth - died of cancer in the mouth. When his wife Elizabeth died the farm was left to the 4 sons - 25% each. Hoggsback was bought by Wallis Randall, and his son-in-law, Charles G. Kent ran it for him. When Mavis Kent died it had several other owners before it became part of the Ciskei homeland.According to Vernon Whittal he was married by Rev Barrow and died 7 June 1868, on the farm District. Most of their children were born at Hoggsback.The exodus of the Fingo from Xhosa bondage must rank as an incident in that epic of British history, the Liberation of the slaves. The part played by the 1820 Settlers in this great achievement, and the founding and development of Peddie as a bastion for Fingo protection against the Xhosa, are incidents which we should nurture and preserve as chapters in the history of a people destined to be a great multi-racial nation in Southern Africa.

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).

Unfortunately his exploits in the field have not been formally recorded, his fame being now a matter of family tradition only. 24 Dec 1838 Thomas Shone measured WG for boots at Trappe's Valley Mill.

He ran the Trappe's Valley corn mill there, built by his brother Stephen before 1831.What hunting began from necessisity was afterward continued by choice. Lion hunting parties crossed the Winterberg range, and the plains & the valleys which the Queenstown grantees were now quietly cultivating became the theater of many a scene of adventure which ought to have been chronicled for future generations.

[A short extract written by Agnes Kent (nee Gradwell) about her mother Betty Cawood.]
Betty Cawood was the 5th child and eldest daughter of David and Mary Cawood. She was born at Waybank Hall, near Bingley, Yorkshire on 13th June, 1805. Her parents were woollen manufacturers, but being persuaded by an Uncle Wilkinson they went into business at Sabde (Salden ?) [probably Saltaire, near Bingley. DB] Mother often spoke of going to school there and of old Squire Farren who used to nap at the fireside.
The call for people to come to the Cape Colony - David Cawood, wife, seven sons and three daughters embarked on the "John" on the 1st January 1820. David, the youngest child died with measles on the voyage. They landed in Algoa Bay on the 6th May 1820. The minute gun was firing for the death of George the third. (Mother told us about her father pulling on a pair of tight boots to celebrate George III's jubilee. They lived in Saldin [? Saltaire] when Waterloo was celebrated)
They were carried from the boats (at Algoa Bay) by natives - mother the first one of their ship to land. There were only 6 or 8 houses then. Captain Pearson had been very kind. Father (William Gradwell) was introduced to Miss Cawood - he put his hand on her head and said "This is a bonny lass, you won't keep her long". She was very indignant.
They were packed into the oxwagon and reached the location on the 18th May. They were fortunate in getting the houses used by the soldiers at Kaffir Drift, now Cawoods Post. Her mother was not accustomed to a rough life and the death of her baby caused her to be very delicate. Ma often said one of the dainties her Mother enjoyed was some small onions and bread and butter. Father (William Gradwell) was always near and did lots for the Cawoods.
At the last minute of sailing his Uncle John Rigg would not come and gave father (William Gradwell) all he had on board. There was a large net and seed potatoes. They soon found fish and used to take them to Cape Town. (John Rigge crossed off sailing list in London)
On the 1st January 1822 Ma was married to William Gradwell. She was dressed in a coloured muslin and a very fine plaited Coffee leaf bonnett made by herself - Mrs Godlonton's brother taught her to plait. Her hair was in curls. She was married in Rev Boardman's house. Her mother had a nice dinner ready for them. On the 2nd January 1822 her mother (Mary Cawood) was going in a wagon to Bathurst for medical attendance - she was near Trappes Valley and just said "I like William to drive and Samuel to lead". She asked to be lifted out of the wagon and was gone to join the baby she loved, only about 36 years of age. Grandfather (David Cawood) lived with mother (Betty, his daughter) until he also passed away in 1832. The ring Mother wore was bought from Mr Gowar.
Father and Mother [Gradwell] both joined the Wesleyan Society and received their first tickets in Mr Pike's house from Rev Young. Grandfather Cawood's memorial service was at Baileys Party. Charles Bailey preached text "For me to live in Christ, to die is gain".
William Gradwell died at Grahamstown 26th November 1849.
Betty Gradwell died at Somerset East 1896 on the 4th September and her last words were "All's well". Posted by Beverley Young on Facebook, having received it from Anne Clarkson.

Heese & Lombard gives Betty's marriage date as 3/2/1821. Church records give
marriage date as 3 Dec 1821. (91y,2m,22d).
Betty was the last of the Cawood's who left British shores to die, and her

He was Married twice. He bought the farm "Olive Burn" from Miles Bowker on 18 Apr 1840.
(64y).
James an 1820 Settler, left Portsmouth England for the Cape Colony, early in January 1820 aboard the Royal Navy transport sailing ship the Weymouth, carrying 400 other passengers, including his 2nd wife & five of his children. They arrived in Algoa Bay around mid May 1820, after what was a crowded and uncomfortable voyage.Party: James'. Ship: Weymouth. From: Westbury Wiltshire. According to MD Nash - The Settler Handbook -James & Rebecca had the following children - Mary 14, Jane 9, Elizabeth 7, James 3, Sarah 1. James paid a deposit of ¹20.0.0. Although James's occupation was given as a labourer, this did not mean he was only fit for manual unskilled labour. This was a category given mainly to professional soldiers with no other trade.James was given allotment no. 10 - the last and most easterly of the James Party Allocation, situated east of and quite close to Bathurst. He was entitled to 100 acres of land, subject to cultivating this land during the first three years. After 10 years it would be surveyed at government expense and transferred to him on perpetual quitrent not exceeding ¹2.0.0 per 100 acres. Their house which measured 50 feet by 15 feet was burnt down in 1846 during the 7th Frontier War. The farm Sweetfountain includes allotments 9 & 10 according to Morse Jones. In 1840 James bought the farm Oliveburn, from the Bowker's of Tharfield, for ¹300, to be paid over six years. Miles Bowker was granted the farm initially and then in 1822 was given Tharfield as well, an even larger property. Bowker graves are still to be seen on Tharfield.
**** Was No.10 known as Bethany ? **** It seems that the entire James Party location was known as Bethany, on which Ebenezer, the Wesleyan Chapel stood. Originally Oliveburn was 513 morgen but later Benjamin was to sell 5 morgen to Joseph Walker, leaving 508 morgan. The present owner, Allan Hulley and his wife Brenda and two daughters now live there (~1990).Randall meaning: Diminutive of Rand (Randolph). Wendy Fitzgerald says she has confirmation of James and Rebecca's marriage as 13 December 1809, Westbury, Wiltshire.
