Notes:

James arrived in Table Bay, South Africa on the 'Salisbury' on 8 December 1821, (Departure Date 14th August 1821), listed as an indentured labourer in Major General Colin Campbell's party. His name was second-last on the list of names. He was well educated in the three R's, wrote well and was filled with driving energy. He is said to have had 70 grandchildren, one of whom was Letitia Collett who married James Butler of London. The party was located on a 10 000-acre estate at Rietfonetien, on an arm of the Kasouga River. the location was named Barville Park. General Charles Collins Campbell, who was the leader of the party, died in May 1822.

In 1824 he married Rhoda in Albany, where he owned a small farm near Port Alfred. When the frontier was thrown open , he bought Olifantsfontein, and farms on the Koonap River in Fort Beaufort district. When the 1835 Frontier war broke out he stayed. He imported merino from New South Wales and Saxony and left 200 pound to his brother Joseph, who had emigrated to US with his sister Elizabeth. In 1842 he bought 3 large farms in Cradock area, based on Greonfontein in the direction of the AgterSneeuberg, he soon gained a reputation as the most progressive farmer in the district. He was chosen to represent the district in the first Cape Parliament in 1854, but attended one session only. In 1857 he sold Groenfontein, and moved to up the valley to Dassie Krantz and Salt Pan Drift. But drought and recession drove him bankruptcy in 1862. All his farms were sold and he had to accept hospitality of a cottage on Mulberry Grove, the farm of his son-in-law, Joseph Trollip. His successful son, John, redeemed him and placed him on Dassie Krantz. Relationships were strained, but he had lost his touch and after a frightening incident with a defiant servant, John removed his parents to Grassridge, where he died in 1875.
