[extract from pages 91 & 92 - "The Tarrs of Rokewood"]
"Thomas "By Jingo" and Mary TARR
According to one of his descendants, "this is the name we always revered as the gambler and 'wild one' with stories of him riding a horse through a butcher shop and coming out festooned with sausages. He then proceeded up towards where Rhodes University now stands and galloped his horse full tilt through the Drostdy archway. The police could not stop him so they erected a barrier pole across the arch at a point where, at the crucial moment he would be unable to stop! His momentum was, therefore arrested in more ways than one ..."

Thomas farmed at Clumber, having inherited the original Settler farm from his father. Before this, he had bought the neighbouring farm, allotment No. 26 orginally granted to Samuel JACKSON. He bought the farm in 1852 from Frances HULLEY for [Pounds]150. This was identical in size to Rokewood, so when his father died in 1858 he farmed both allotments. Rokewood was left to his son Herbert. At the stage of drawing up the Will in July 1890,
Thomas and Mary had made a proviso that their two, then unmarried daughters, Ada Eliza and Fanny May should have the right to reside in the residence and "to have use and occupation of one bedroom each with right of use of sitting room". However, the daughters married and a codicil to the Will, four years later, required Herbert to pay [Pounds]150 for the farm, which amount would then devolve upon the surviving daughters. As some stage, one of the farms was named Mount Pleasant.

Thomas also bought a larger farm in 1874 from George WOOD. According to their Will, it was "the location calles Austens Grant or otherwise The Clay Pits". This was 254 morgen and Thomas paid [Pounds]508 for it. On Thomas' death, this farm was left in equal shares to Reuben, Thomas Henry and Herbert. Eventually the brothers sold their shares to Reuben, who owned it until 1909 when it was sold out of his insolvent estate."

Notes:

Dorothea Rowse write in October 2017:
"1. Thomas was a cousin to the King brothers since his mother Hannah and their mother Ann Worlock were sisters, the daughters of John and Hannah Worlock of North Nibley, a village about three miles from Dursley.
2. He was described as a Royal Naval pensioner and farmer when he emigrated. He was probably the Thomas Brent who served on HMS Sirius at the Battle of Trafalgar - he was listed in the Ships pay book on 4.8.1804. In December 1820 Thomas had to obtain a Magistrate’s identification before his RN pension could be paid from Simonstown.
3. Thomas moved to Grahamstown to live for a while in 1822 but he spent most of his life on the New Gloucester location. His house and furniture were burnt and cattle all taken during the last Kafir war in January 1846; he died in May of that year. His property at New Gloucester was inherited by his son Thomas who farmed it for a while but it was being offered for sale in 1853.
