Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: At the outbreak of the Sixth Frontier War his wife and son took refuge in St. George's Church (now the Cathedral) in Grahamstown. He was a Lieutenant in the Albany Mounted Sharpshooters , and later a Captain of the Corps of Guides. He was Resident Agent to certain native tribes at Mount Coke . In 1847 he was Secretary to Governor Sir Harry Smith,serving on the Cape frontier and in Natal, and Special Commissioner in the Orange River Sovereignty. In 1849 he was Civil Commissioner and Resident Magistrate at Swellendam, and then Secretary to the Lieutenant-Governor at Grahamstown. During the period of Representative Government he held two of the highest offices of the state - Treasurer(1861-64) and finally Colonial Secretary, 1864-1872 , retiring on the introduction of Responsible Government and receiving a C.M.G . The following year he was appointed Administrator and then Lieutenant-Governor of Griqualand West, 1873-5 , dealing with many contentious problems, such as diamond digging and boundary disputes with the Orange Free State and Transvaal. During 1877-8 he was M.L.A for Grahamstown, and in 1881 was knighted K.C.M.G. - From Rhodes on Africa: "When one of the first diamonds was discovered among the paraphernalia of a Native witch doctor, Sir Richard Southey, the Lieutenant-Governor, laid it on the Table of the Cape Parliament with the prophetic words "Gentlemen, this is the rock on which the future success of South Africa will be built ". - To quote "Froude on Southey" from "The Life and Times of Sir Richard Southey KCMG" by the Hon Alex Wilmot: "In Froude's "Short Stories" he describes a brief visit to Kimberley in1874, and thus refers to Sir Richard Southey "The Governor himself is one of the most remarkable men in South Africa. He won his spurs in the Kaffir war of 1834." He then goes on briefly to review his career , and ends by saying that his policy was "to check the encroachment of the Transvaal Republic and extend the Empire internally." This, Froude declares was "the one mistake of his life. Being without a force of any kind, he could only control the Republics by the help of the Native Chiefs, and the coercion of the republics in any way became impossible from the moment that the control of the Cape Colony was passed over to its own people. Otherwise, I have rarely met a man I have more admired. Mr Southey is over seventy. He drove me one day over seventy miles in a cart with as wild a team as I ever sat behind, and went to a party in the evening." - One of the chief characteristics of Sir Richard Southey, one of his brothers says, was "determination". "When undertaking any thing there was no halting or half-measures. Another leading feature was self control." Richard married Isabella Shaw in 1830. Isabella (daughter of John Shaw and Hannah Gray) was born about 1810 in England; was christened on 30 Apr 1810 in Stoke Newington, London, England; died on 21 Jun 1869 in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.
