Notes: Morgan's Party on Ocean Following from "Some Frontier Families", by Ivan Mitford-Barberton & Violet White, page 235. "Quoted from a letter from Mrs Esme Glazebrook of Westville, KwaZulu Natal, to Ivan. Our venerable and dearly beloved great-great grandfather, James Augustus Poultney, came out on the same vessel as Thomas Henry Halse. Their two children married. Henry Halse, the eldest, married Ann Poultney, J.A.P's eldest daughter. These two were my great grandparents. Two further children, Sarah Jane Poultney and Fred Halse also married and they were Cecil Halse's great-grandparents. The Poultneys went up to Grahamstown, and farmed in the vicinity of Queenstown. They were all splendid men, and both names (Halse and Poultney) have come down the years quite unblemished in any way. They were sheep farmers, and periodically took the wool down to East London. They were sons of James Augustus. One of the Marks men (I don't know whether it was the famous Sammy Marks or not), offered to finance a trip back to England to enable old J.A.P. to visit his homeland once again, and when the wool was ready to be taken to the coast the old man prepared to go down with the wagons and board a vessel for England. They slept in the wagons on reaching the coast, and the sons, in the middle of the night, offloaded the wool, inspanned the horses and started off for home, as they could not bear to part with the old man, and so he never visited hi beloved England after all. Settler J.A.P., after the death of his wife, lived with his daughter Sarah Jane (Poultney) Halse. In his old age he lost the sight of one eye - cataract - and some time later the sight of the other, thus becoming totally blind. He remained in this state for some years, but in a letter from Sarah Jane in 1853 she mentioned that his sight had been partially restored. It was a time of great rejoicing as he was able to recognise his children again after years of darkness, and all the family came to see and be seen.
