Notes:

John Henry was the son of Henry Heath, an employee of the East India Company. He was born in 1793 in West Sumatra, near the factory of Bencoolen. Fort Marlborough, the military headquarters was in Bencoolen, nowadays Benkulu and was later part of the Dutch East Indies and is now part of Indonesia.

Whilst we know that John Henry Heath was born in Sumatra, it is not known whether he had private tutors or whether he was sent back to school. His father Henry Heath, a contemporary of Raffles – who founded Singapore – was the British Resident of Kroee [Krui] and well able to do either. As John Henry was educated in the law it is probably that he retunred to attend a school such as Eton, Rugby, Winchester or similar Public school.

John Henry was born in 1793 or 1794 in West Sumatra. Fort Marlborough at Bencoolen [now Benkulu] was the centre of the East India company for the pepper factory. John Henry was born during the period that his father was employed as a monthly writer and senior merchant. Bencoolen came under the Bengal part of the East India Company and this leads to confusion as to whether he was born in India or in Sumatra, the records being in the “India Office”/ It is not known where John Henry had his schooling, it being quite likely that he was sent back to England to do his schooling. He trained in law and became a notary public. He had difficulties when a partner apparently was dishonest and he ended up in debt. He applied to go to South Africa as part of the assisted scheme and when he arrived he soon returned back to his profession of law. In 1820 he was in Cuylerville on the Mankanzana River and by May 1821 he had a canteen in the Upper Kaffir Drift;. There were quarrels within the Bailey party and there was a problem when he ended up sheltering the daughter of another settler. By 1825 he was in Port Francis, now Port Alfred, being a public notary and Government clerk. He then moved to Grahamstown still working as a notary public. In 1835 he made an unsuccessful attempt to be appointed a Magistrate. An allowance of 100 pounds per year ceased from 1835. In 1842 his daughters went to the grandfather [Henry] in Northfleet and the 2 eldest married that year. On the 4th February John Henry died near Grahamstown [cause of death was apoplexy] leaving an estate of under 150 pounds.

John Henry Heath was married to Maria : Iveson in her death notice and in South Africa genealogy Evertsen. As yet this is an area of research.

Maria and John Henry had 9 children
