Notes: He was also granted land in the Peddie Area in the early days but did not stay there. William and his sons, Charles and Rupert did transport riding from Port Elizabeth to Jammersdrift. Taking grain, having it milled at Jammersdrift, and taking the meal to Kimberley. They were involved in the War of the Guns in Basutoland. Then they rode over the Drakensberg to East Griqualand where they could buy land. Thn as "Nomansland". The countryside looked uninviting so they returned to the Free State with the idea of buying ground, but within a short time they returned and bought a farm which measured 3000 acres. This ground, however, had double title deeds. George Charles Brisley (grandfather of Bettie Forrester) who was secretary to Adam Kok, took up the matter with him and Adam Kok decided that the Forresters could take the first farm on the west of Matatiel and named "Stanford". They must have taken occupation of their farms around 1889. William married Mary Ann Pitt on 30 Mar 1854 in Grahamstown Church (Baptist), Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
