Notes:

From The Settler Handbook, M D Nash: "Alexander Biggar of 79 St Aubyn Street, Plymouth, Devon, a Captain of the 85th Regiment of Foot on half pay. Biggar had been paymaster of his regiment, but his active career in the army was precipitatedly ended in May 1819 when a General Court Martial found him guilty of embezzling £1300 from War Office funds and suborning a clerk who was to give evidence against him. He was cashiered and ordered to repay the money. The Cape emigration scheme provided a timely opportunity to put this disgrace behind him and make a new begginning."
