Notes |
- Dorothea Rowse writes in October 2017:
1.Charles sent an undated memorial to the Governor, with a note from G.D [George Dyason] attached, claiming to have been underage when he left England accompanied by a companion of similar age who had since enlisted with His Majs service. This was probably his brother William.
2.The deposit of £10 for the two of them was paid by Robert Branston Cooper, the M.P. for Gloucester.
3.However, Philpott and his companion would have had a very short allowance at sea as a result of their being only a part of a family in terms of the deposit. This bit sounds like a confidence trick since, if true, it would have affected married childless couples as well, which does not seem to have been the case.
4.A certain individual wishing to come out to this Colony but having no money was permitted to take advantage of this act of Christian charity by having that sum placed to his account. Since the deposit was that given for a man, his wife and two children, Philpott was described as the son of this individual in the Returns made to the authorities and had consequently lost all the advantages arising from the said deposit. Richard Bradshaw was given an allocation on the Location
5.Philpott was badly affected by ill-health after arrival but was supported by a friend until he was too poor to continue. Philpott, therefore, asked that he be given an allocation of land in Bradshaw’s location, which his friend would undertake to have ploughed, so that he could have a morsel of bread.
6.G.D. noted that: The statement is correct, and the Philpotts are industrious people, but I am not aware of any vacant land in Bradshaw’s Party.
7.The companion who came out from England was probably his brother and the William Philpott who applied for a colonial pass in 1822. In 1846 a Lieutenant Phillpotts was a member of the Cape Mounted Rifles based at Bathurst Post. There is a reference to one of the Philpott men in the early years of the settlement. Mr Thakewill and Mr Philpott arrived at the Mission on 16 May 1823. After failing to cross the river at Port Kowie two days later, they returned to the Mission and stayed the night.
8.The Philpotts do not appear in any of the Party lists and must have travelled under another name. It seems reasonable to assume that they came out as the Carter sons with Richard Bradshaw as the Carter father.
