An excerpt from Pg. 102 History of the Wesleyan Methodist Church of South Africa by Rev.J.Whiteside, London 1906 :Salem, The Mother Church {per Sylvia Gazendam}
"Mr. Shaw sought out and gathered round him a noble band of lay assistants, or the spiritual needs of the people could not have been supplied. Amongst these helpers were Messrs. Oates and Roberts of Salem; Richard Walker, of Port Francis; John Ayliff of Wilson's party; William Shepstone, of the New Bristol location; William Pike, of Clumber; Messrs. Aldham, Bonnin, Sargeant, Booth, Attwell, and many others who fed and fanned the flame of piety. These plain preachers of a plain Gospel went from location to location taking shady trees or sheltering woodside as their standing places, and gathered around them little companies, seated on the grass, listening attentively, and thankful to find themselves remembered and cared for in reference to their highest of all interests. Messrs. Ayliff and Shepstone, at a later date, entered the ranks of the oirdained ministry, and became distinguished missionaries. Richard Walker rendered scarcely less valuable service as an assistant missionary on several stations. Opposition was overruled in one instance 'for the futherance of the Gospel." Dr. Calton, the head of the Nottingham party, was a determined opponent of Methodism, and attempted to prevent any of its adherents being in his vessel, the Albany. Great was his vexation to find, when at sea, that at least one Wesleyan, Mr. Pike, was on board, and that he was holding meetings for prayer. Dr. Calton threatened the offender that unless he kept his religion to himself he would have no allotment of land on his arrival in Cape Colony. Strange to say, Dr. Calton died in Algoa Bay. After the settlement of the party at Clumber, Mr. Pike regularly held services in the bush, close to his tent; and his simple piety and manifest sincerity having won the esteem of his fellow settlers, they elected him head of the party. Clumber became a centre of spiritual influence, and has so continued to this day. The people have retained not a little of the quaint simplicity and religious fervour of English rural Methodism when at its best."

DEATH OF A SETTLER.- The Cape Times contains a notice of the death of Mr. James LOW, supposed to be the last of the first settlers, having lived in the Colony for sixty-eight years. He arrived first in 1814, and was stationed at the Cape for three years, being in the Navy. He returned to England in 1818, and subsequently to the Cape in 1820. He was also engaged in the American Civil War.

Other Events and Attributes:

• 1820 Lineage: Yes

• Settler: 3 Dec 1819, Gravesend, Kent, England

Notes:

The magistrate's powers were invoked when Mary Evenden, a young woman who emigrated as a servant with the family of Captain Henry Crause, gave birth to an illegitimate baby and applied for an affiliation order against James Low. Captain Trappes had to find out from the Deputy Landdrost's office what procedure he should follow; there had been no similar case at Bathurst to give him a precedent. Low managed to shed his responsibilities a year later by leaving Albany for Cape Town. Ref. CA CO 178: Memorial of J Low dated 9.9.1822 {Lynn MacLeod}
