Date of death given on the late C Jenner's record as 21 April 1831, presumably from a burial record for a John Webb in the Graham's Town Old Cemetery.
That John Webb, however, was 17 years old at death in 1831 but according to an older gravestone recording of the Old Cemetery the age on the gravestone should be 47 years 6 months. This would then make that person John (William) Webb's age.
According to Hugo Slater's 1820 Settler's, John's date of died on 23 July 1858 in Albany but quotes no source. The South African Settlers From the British Isles website quotes John's death as before 1839.
Willsons Party from Morse-Jones - A party of 307 from London led by Thomas Willson sailed in "La Belle Alliance". They were located on the Bush River, tributary to the Torrens River [near Clumber, just north of Bathurst].
