Notes:

H.T. Lloyd's second wife Maria Godfrey was about the same age as his elder children, and as they did not approve of this marriage, the close family ties were broken.
Later H.T. moved from the old Settler home to the Transkei, where Sir Walter Currie gave him a grant of land for a trading station on the way from St. Marks to Tsomo. Sir Walter wanted him to have an accommodation house for travellers, but H.T. did not want to put up a separate building. He said that all travellers would be welcome at his home which he called "Travellers Rest". Later H.T. and his sons Thomas, Walter R., Charlie, Albert E. and the youngest, Alfred, ran a chain of trading stations at Bolotwa Xosesdala, Bankies, Cofimvaba, Tylden, St. Marks and "Travellers Rest".
They were all greatly respected by the native chiefs, to whom Henry had been very good in times of drought. In times of plenty he bought up grain, which he made available when food was scarce. Prior to the outbreak of war (1850?) in the Transkei the chiefs secretly warned him of this impending disaster and provided some hundreds of men to escort him and his family and several wagons to King William's Town. But the war did not break out immediately so two of the sons, Walter and Thomas returned to the Trading Stations which were heavily stocked, and sold out everything to the natives who were laying in supplies for themselves before the war started. Walter Lloyd fought through this war and had some miraculous escapes. In one engagement he and a detachment of men were being overwhelmed by the natives. Capt. Wilhelm von Linsinger, a German settler, who was mortally wounded handed his bandolier of bullets to Walter and told him to get out. But Walter, who had lost his horse, fought on. He saw a Mr. Kidson fall from his horse as he was stabbed to death. His son, riding to his father's assistance, was also killed, falling across his father's body.
At this stage a pony which had pulled its bridle rein loose on one side, came cantering past. Walter grabbed the trailing rein, mounted and galloped off amid a shower of assegais. Some time after the war Walter met Capt. von Linsingen's son in Queenstown to whom he gave a graphic account of the brave fight put up by his father, and handed over the bandolier.
During this war Walter was in charge of a party that pursued a number of natives into a cave. When one of the white men shouted to them to surrender a bullet whizzed past his head. Capt. Lloyd took a small baby away from a native woman and sent her into the cave to demand their surrender, saying that if she did not return he would kill her baby. When she failed to return Lloyd pinched her baby. It screamed and the woman ran out crying. She said that there was a large body of men in the cave and that they refused to surrender. When a charge of dynamite was thrown in part of the way, where it exploded, it had the desired effect and at once all the natives came out and surrendered.
H.T. and his wife settled in Queenstown in 1892. He built the house "Mayville", 77, Prince Alfred St, where he died on 7 Feb. 1895 at the age of 81. This house is still occupied by his only surviving child Miss Millicent Lloyd, who turned 88 on the 17 April 1964.

Obituary
It is with regret that we have to record the death of Mr. Henry Thomas LLOYD, which sad event took place on Thursday afternoon last. The deceased, who had attained the age of 81 years, had enjoyed remarkably good health up to within two years ago, when his health began to fail, and during the last few weeks he became so poorly that he was confined to his room. He gradually became weaker, and on Thursday passed away very peacefully.
The late Mr. LLOYD was one of the Settlers of 1820, and came out to South Africain the ship “Chapman.” After landing at AlgoaBayand remaining a short time there, he removed to Lower Albany, where he settled down for a number of years. As a young man he assisted in the Kafir wars of 1935, 1946, and 1847, and with many others suffered great loss. When the Transkeiwas given to the Fingoes, Sir Walter CURRIE, who was a great friend of the deceased, gave him a large grant of ground in the Transkei, where he resided until he removed to Queenstown.
The funeral took place on Friday afternoon, and was largely attended. Preceding the service at the cemetery, a very impressive ceremony was held in the Presbyterian Church, conducted by the Rev. J.P. RITCHIE, who also officiated at the grave.
The deceased leaves a large family of children, grand-children, and great-grand children, numbering about 80, to mourn their loss, to whom we tender our sincere sympathy in their sad bereavement.
