Bailie's party was located at Cuylerville near the mouth of the Great Fish River.
The de Hoole family claims descent from Happesford or Elton, brother of Edward I (1272-1301), in the person of Robert de Hoole his nephew. Phillip de Hoole obtained certain land from Hugh de Hoole in the reign of Edward IV (1347?53), and a certain Randolf de Hoole is also mentioned during this reign. Hoole Hall was burnt by the Parliamentary troops during the siege of Chester, but Hoole Lodge was the ancient seat of the family. Part of this property is now the suburb of Hoole, Chester.

Charles Hoole (born Sheffield 1609) and his brother James (born Sheffield 1611) were kinsmen of Robert Sanderson, Bishop of Lincoln, who helped Charles Hoole at Oxford. This Charles became Rector of Great Ponton in Lincolnshire. He was probably the ancestor of Rev. Joseph Hoole of the same county, who was later Vicar of Haxey in Lincolnshire. He was Rector of St. Ann's Manchester from 1736 until his death on the 17 Nov. 1745, which occurred just at the time when Prince Charles Edward Stuart and his army were passing through the town.
This Rev. Joseph Hoole had a son John Hoole who served in the East India Company, and his son James Hoole (1789?1843) married Jane Cotterell at St. Mary Abbots, Kensington and subsequently immigrated to South Africa with the 1820 settlers.

The two sons of the Settler, James and Abel, were prominent figures in the Sixth Frontier War (1835) serving in Col. (afterwards Sir Harry) Smith's Corps of Guides. Abel Hoole with his expert knowledge of the Xhosa language, was often used as an interpreter when negotiating terms with the Xhosa chiefs. These brothers also served in the Seventh Frontier War, 1846. In times of peace they were successful in a mercantile business in Grahamstown, with a branch at Whittlesea run by the younger brother Abel.
In 1866 the elder brother James Cotterell Hoole was one of those elected to represent the Eastern Districts in the Legislative Council. He held his seat until 1869, when the Council and the House of Assembly were dissolved. The following year however, he was re-elected and sat till the Responsible Government Bill was passed in 1872.

the descendants of this man are the subject of a book by Hoole & Hoole (1993)
which was printed privately for family members
