"Durylerville, the local farmers went into laager round the little church and were continually hard pressed. A few miles from a favourite crossing of the Fish River, the little settlement needed all hands in its defence. The women mades of powder for the defenders and Ann Whittal carried them as well as constant supplies of food to the men, later taking her place among them with her gun repelling attacks on the laager.

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.
