So from this report I have calculated that he died on 20 Aug 1902 in what was then known as the Transvaal Colony.

DEATH OF AN OLD COLONIST
The death is announced of Mr. Robert Carlisle. Born in Grahamstown in 1832, Mr. Carlisle was the eldest son of the late John Carlisle, one of the 1820 settlers. Mr. Carlisle first started life as a farmer near Bedford, where he soon became the leading spirit of that district. Being of a romantic disposition, in 1867 he moved to New England, Wodehouse Division (now Barkly East), and at that time almost uninhabited. Here, after severe trials, he once more came to the fore as the leading spirit, and gained the respect of all the farmers in the neighbourhood. Mr. Carlisle also saw a great deal of active service, and as far back as 1832 served under the late Sir Walter Currie, by whom he was mentioned in despatches for valuable services rendered during those troublesome times. In 1878, when the Morosi rebellion broke out, Mr. Carlisle was elected field captain of a burgher corps then called out by the Cape Government for defensive purposes, and in 1880 he raised the first volunteer corps under Commandant H. Nesbitt, an old ex regular, and took a very prominent part in crushing several rebel chiefs, including the Tambookie leader Stock Tyali, and defending the border against the hordes of Basutos then threatening that part of the Colony. During this campaign Mr. Carlisle contracted rheumatism, eventually developing into rheumatic fever, and after eight years of suffering passed away at Springs (Transvaal) on Wednesday last. - Star.

Notes:

John was the head of CARLISLE's party which included 10 young Staffordshire farmers for whom John CARLISLE paid a deposit of £120. The Chapman carried only two parties - the very large Bailie party and the small Carlisle party.
John and Frederick CARLISLE were granted 1268 acres, situated in a valley about four miles from Grahamstown. This they called Belmont in memory of their home near Ipstones in Staffordshire where the Carlisle family lived on an estate belonging to the Sneyd family. As the brothers were made the sole proprietors of their grant of land, it is assumed that since they had paid all the immigration fees, that the ten young Staffordshire farmers had waived their grant of 100 acres each and had probably indentured themselves for a period.

John was appointed first Deputy Sheriff of Albany in 1828, which position he held until his brother returned from England. John also acquired Frederick's interest in Belmont, and in 1834 received a further grant of 4095 acres of land.
