Note from William Jervois: At the time of John's first marriage, he was a farmer in the Tarkastad district. He later farmed at Kempersgrove, in the Wodehouse district. He has Makin's (partial) transcript of the Winterberg marriage registers, in which he gives the following dates:

"Entry No. 67: John Winter Muire, aged 20, bachelor; farmer; of Tarkastad; married on 20 Sep 1867 to Mathilda Wiggill, aged 19, spinster; of the Winterberg; witnesses: Mary Hannah Muire and George Wiggill."

The family dropped the 'e' from their surname in later years.

Notes:

A Fort Beaufort farm manager, Gert VAN DER WESTHUIZEN, found 253-million-year-old footsteps when he was working in the bed of the Kat River.

The ancient footprints are of a were made by a large dicynodont that lived in the Karoo millions of years ago and walked along the edge of an ancient river that once flowed across the flat Karoo from south to north. The tracks had been covered by debris that was washed away in the recent rains and were spotted when digging up an old water pipeline.
The same species was discovered in the area in 1838 by Andrew Geddes BAIN.
In a historical twist, the 1838 discovery was found on a farm owned by the MILDENHALL family. The latest discovery was made on Bath farm owned by Justin and Barry MILDENHALL. The family have farmed in Fort Beaufort since the 1830s.
