    "James Hayward arrived from England on board the ship Weymouth in 1820, * England (Happerton, near Trowbridge, Wiltshire) b.1781 d. 24.12.1861 x 14.3.1797 Tabitha (Berthia) PRISTOW * b.1783 xx Sarah Wilmot

    [Although James and Tabitha were on the same ship as the other Hayward brothers (ie.

The parish of Westbury paid James the sum of £22:10:0 towards the costs of travelling to the Cape. References refer to him as 'James the elder', clearly to distinguish him from the other James settler (a1) who was some thirteen years younger]."
