They arrived in Algoa Bay around mid May 1820, after what was a crowded and uncomfortable voyage.Party: James'. Ship: Weymouth. From: Westbury Wiltshire. According to MD Nash - The Settler Handbook -James & Rebecca had the following children - Mary 14, Jane 9, Elizabeth 7, James 3, Sarah 1. James paid a deposit of ¹20.0.0. Although James's occupation was given as a labourer, this did not mean he was only fit for manual unskilled labour. This was a category given mainly to professional soldiers with no other trade.James was given allotment no. 10 - the last and most easterly of the James Party Allocation, situated east of and quite close to Bathurst. He was entitled to 100 acres of land, subject to cultivating this land during the first three years. After 10 years it would be surveyed at government expense and transferred to him on perpetual quitrent not exceeding ¹2.0.0 per 100 acres. Their house which measured 50 feet by 15 feet was burnt down in 1846 during the 7th Frontier War. The farm Sweetfountain includes allotments 9 & 10 according to Morse Jones. In 1840 James bought the farm Oliveburn, from the Bowker's of Tharfield, for ¹300, to be paid over six years. Miles Bowker was granted the farm initially and then in 1822 was given Tharfield as well, an even larger property. Bowker graves are still to be seen on Tharfield.
**** Was No.10 known as Bethany ? **** It seems that the entire James Party location was known as Bethany, on which Ebenezer, the Wesleyan Chapel stood. Originally Oliveburn was 513 morgen but later Benjamin was to sell 5 morgen to Joseph Walker, leaving 508 morgan. The present owner, Allan Hulley and his wife Brenda and two daughters now live there (~1990).Randall meaning: Diminutive of Rand (Randolph).
