• Notes

  She is buried next to her Grandparents, Francis & Ann Whittal. She was a wonderful old lady and could identify many family members in old photographs for Pat Randall who did the Randall family tree. She lived to the ripe old age of 91 years. Newspaper cuttings from the Eastern Cape. Herald Reporter, 13 July 1974 Descendants look back. Another settler grandchild is 92 year old Mrs. Alice Charlotte Ann BILLETT, who lives in Walmer, with her daughter, Mrs. E.PAPE. Her grandparents were 1820 Settlers, Francis WHITTAL, her grandfather came to South Africa on the Chapman, the first settler ship to drop anchor in Algoa Bay on April 9, 1820. One of his 18 children, Charles John WHITTAL, married Sarah Ann RANDALL and they had 10 children, of which Mrs. BILLETT is the third and only surviving member. She was born at Cuylerville and remembers the 14-day trek by ox wagon her family undertook when they went to farm in the Cathcart district. "Strong black coffee and dry bread is what we ate", she said. In 1971, Mrs. BILLETT made another journey - this time by plane to Durban, and now, in the same pioneering spirit, she is hoping to go to Grahamstown to see the 1820 Settler Monument, which she regards as "a wonderful achievement"
