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.

BY
COLIN TURING CAMPBELL
[Residient at Graham's Town, 1845-1871]

Phillipps, Thomas, head of a party from Pembrokeshire, Wales ; arrived by the Kennersley Castle. He was a man of opulence, had been a banker at Haverfordwest, and was in middle life. He brought his wife, seven children, and three female servants. His location was towards the coast, with Mr. Greathead and Mr. Southey as immediate neighbours. Here he applied himself to the cultivation of the land, and the erection of his dwelling-house, Mr. George Thompson, who travelled through the Settlement in January, 1821, and again in May, 1823, gives a pleasing description of the progress made by the settlers, their cheerful homes and their anticipations of prosperity. He gives a vignette of Mr. Phillipps's house, "Glendour," at p. 146 vol. ii., and refers to him as one of the leading inhabitants in industry and enterprise. All prospects of future happiness were ruthlessly destroyed by the irruption of the Kafirs in 1835, when his house was consumed by fire, his crops destroyed, and his cattle and other properties carried off.
He was all at once entirely ruined, and thankful that he and his family escaped with their lives to Graham's Town. Adversity followed him through the rest of his life. His eldest son Edward removed to Natal, and there settled. His eldest daughter Catherine married Mr. John Carlisle, and left issue; the next daughter, Charlotte, married Mr. Temple Nourse, and left two sons and two daughters ; Sophie, the third daughter, was the only one who survived her father, and died at Graham's Town, 1892, at the age of eighty four years. Frederick, the second son, married Miss Mary Ann Currie, and was killed by lightning on his farm near Bedford, leaving one son, Edward, and a daughter, who married Mr. Frederick Carlisle. This son Edward left two daughters only, so there is no male representative of the family. Singularly, Edward, walking behind his cart up the Katberg was struck by lightning, and about the same time his sister, travelling by wagon, had a narrow escape, six or eight of the oxen being killed and the wagon also struck. John, the youngest son, died in Cradock in 1852. Mr. Phillipps was a staunch Freemason, and, by his efforts and those of Dr. Peter Campbell and others, obtained a charter from the Grand Lodge of England, granted by H.R.H. the Duke of Sussex, K.G., 3rd January, 1828, as the Albany Lodge, No. 817, then 584 in 1832, and in closing up the numbers in 1863 was renumbered 389. The first officers for this Lodge, the oldest but one in all South Africa, the British at Cape Town being the premier, for 1828-29 were—Bro. Thomas Phillips, W.M. ; Bro. R. M. Whitnal, LW. ; Bro. Peter Campbell, S.W. ; Bro. W. E. Smith, Treasurer; Bro. G. F. Stokes, Secretary. Bro. Phillipps was re-elected W.M., 1829-30.
