Notes:

Description: Martha Slater's parents were Lieut. William SLATER and Mary SLATER.
His retirement date should be 25 March 1817. The (Royal)Cape Garrison Company was given notice to disband on 25 Dec 1816 (Happy Christmas)and the staff (all 4 of them) retired on full pay on 25 March 1817. This date matches the seniority dates of both William Slater and the Commander of the Garrison, Captain Evatt, giving them exactly 4 years service in this unit. Captain Evatt went on to become Commandant of Fort Frederick and in 1825, the British Representative at Algoa Bay. Evatt assisted the 1820 Settlers on arrival, even physically helping to land them from the surf boats. I think he died in 1870 and is buried outside the Fort.
Wm. SLATER was a military pensioner (from 25 September 1821), formerly of the Cape Garrison, previously Quarter Master of the 83rd Regiment of Foot, which had occupied the Cape in 1806. His (pregnant)wife had arrived with him, with the Expeditionary force, their ship having sailed from St Hellier, Jersey, to join the rest of the fleet.
William SLATER was born about 1775, died on 26 Jul 1822, at his house at 14 Caledon Street, Uitenhage, Cape Colony. His wife predeceased him (between 24 Feb 1815 and 26 July 1822). Four children (including Martha) are recorded.

William married Mary Conner on Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John Powell wrote:
Description: Mary CONNER;
1. CONNER is the surname given on the baptism record of her son, William Simpson SLATER on 11 Nov 1915 at the Dutch Reformed Church in George Town, Cape Colony. She is also sponsor of the child in the entry following her son's baptism record, and her surname is more clearly written as CONNER.
2. In the annual Cape (Tax Roll)Census of 1817, for Uitenhage Town, she is recorded as Mary CANNON. She does not appear with her husband and children in 1818 and thereafter, so I presume she died in 1817 after the annual Census, or in 1818, before the annual Census.
