Notes |
- Dorothea Rowse writes:
Edward was allocated a portion of the land on the location (Possibly Plot 2) but he was given a discharge from Bradshaw’s Party (no. 3938, dated 12.2.1823), which described him as 5ft 4ins tall, brown hair, light blue eyes, fair complexion and a labourer. Since his departure was within the statutory requirement of three years residence on the location he was unable to sell it to anyone, although Isaac Wiggill claimed that he had done so.
Edward King died intestate in Swellendam, at the home of Charles [Bennett], on 30.3.1843, leaving assets of £40. He was described as a hat maker, thus confirming Eli Wiggill’s assertion that he had settled in the Swellendam area and was making broad brimmed hats for a living.
Eli Wiggill has left an account of a journey that he took with Edward in the 1820s. In 1823 the two set out on a trading trip to Fort Willshire about fifty miles away – Eli, then aged about 13, was to help with the oxen and wagons. They eventually went through the Swartberg Pass and arrived in the Karroo in the winter. King abandoned Eli there but he was taken in by the Strydom family who cared for him. A yearlong sojourn in the Karroo finally ended when William Kidson of Willson’s Party, who was trading with Dutch families and had been asked to look out for him, took him home. The extended account does King no credit and suggests that he was an irresponsible, erratic personality.
