• Occupation: Hoggsback farm, Peddie District, Eastern Cape, South Africa; a Farmer

Notes:

He was granted a farm on the coast in the Peddie district and named it 'Hogsback'. This is where most of most of their children were born & grew up.
He had till then been farming Oliveburn with his brother Benjamin. The conditions of the grant were:- That there should be at least two able-bodied and armed men on the property. The homestead should be built of brick or stone. The men should be available when called upon for the defence of the district.John was given a farm in the Peddie District (Services rendered in 1835 war).
He took up this grant around 1857-8 and died 10 years later. (Doris Stirk)According to William Jervois - Albany Museum - Genealogy Dept. - From notes made by E. Morse Jones (Whose sources are unknown) the following :-Elizabeth Flanegan - c. 1835 she was born to Ann, wife of James Flanegan.
9-2-1852 she was married to John, son of James Randall at Bathurst.
c. 1870 her husband John died.
7-3-1871 she was married to Alfred Usher.A good-looking man who wore a scarf round his mouth - died of cancer in the mouth. When his wife Elizabeth died the farm was left to the 4 sons - 25% each. Hoggsback was bought by Wallis Randall, and his son-in-law, Charles G. Kent ran it for him. When Mavis Kent died it had several other owners before it became part of the Ciskei homeland.According to Vernon Whittal he was married by Rev Barrow and died 7 June 1868, on the farm District. Most of their children were born at Hoggsback.The exodus of the Fingo from Xhosa bondage must rank as an incident in that epic of British history, the Liberation of the slaves. The part played by the 1820 Settlers in this great achievement, and the founding and development of Peddie as a bastion for Fingo protection against the Xhosa, are incidents which we should nurture and preserve as chapters in the history of a people destined to be a great multi-racial nation in Southern Africa.

• Settler: 7 Jan 1820, Portsmouth, Hampshire, England
• Occupation: 1853, Mount Pleasant, Peddie District, Eastern Cape, South Africa; a Farmer

Notes:

James Jnr arrived in SA with his parents at the age of 3 years. He was given a farm in the Peddie district for services rendered in the 1835 Frontier War. This farm in the Peddie district was named 'Mount Pleasant', which borders on the Umtata River and is adjacent to the farms, Tharfield, Glendower, Falloden and Rush Fountain.

It was after the 8th and worst Kaffir war that James and his brother John applied for farms across the Fish River to start over again. James received 'Mount Pleasant', a 659 morgen farm in the district named Victoria County, between the Gualana and Mtati Rivers. John received 'Hoggsback' to the south of James' farm, also between the same two rivers. The government for the Ciskei homeland bought both of these farms.

A system of settlement suggested by Thomas Holden Bowker, but called the "Cathcart System", came into being after the 7th Frontier war of 1846. This system embraced the settling of selected farmers within the previously unappropriated portions of this territory. Preference was given to those applicants who had distinguished themselves during the Frontier wars. The farms were granted on condition of personal occupation and under a quitrent system.

At some stage James became the owner of a portion of the Lanham allocation No. 5 which was called Orange Grove. Today, Julius Samuels lives there in the original Lanham house, still standing and much enlarged.

It is presumed that James would have farmed his family's No. 10 land after the purchase of 'Oliveburn'.

His will was witnesses by his two nephews d & William Forrester.

what they were, people who could not see a herd of cattle belonging to someone
else, particularly a white man, without feeling - and generally acting on -
an itch to steal it. At some stage James became the owner of a portion of the Lanham allocation No.
