- He was born in Oxfordshire, and worked for a London firm of brokers for 15 years. He was unemployed when he applied to emigrate from 20 Norfolk Street, Commercial Road, London. He joined Ford's subdivision of Bailie's party, which later came under the leadership of T.Flanegan. His house and crops were badly damaged by the floods of October 1823. He was granted a share of the party's location. From 1832 he was employed by William Holder to run a trading station at Cantanee in Kaffraria, but on the eve of the 1834 war he and his family were terrorised by hostile Xhosa and forced to abandon their property and flee to the colony. Both he and his wife, Mrs Sarah Rowles, died at the home of their daughter Mrs Skea in Worcester Street, Grahamstown in 1866. Their elder daughter Amelia married J.T.Scriven; their son John, who was fluent in Xhosa from childhood, be¬came a government interpreter.
