• Notes

  John was the head of CARLISLE's party which included 10 young Staffordshire farmers for whom John CARLISLE paid a deposit of £120. The Chapman carried only two parties - the very large Bailie party and the small Carlisle party. John and Frederick CARLISLE were granted 1268 acres, situated in a valley about four miles from Grahamstown. This they called Belmont in memory of their home near Ipstones in Staffordshire where the Carlisle family lived on an estate belonging to the Sneyd family. As the brothers were made the sole proprietors of their grant of land, it is assumed that since they had paid all the immigration fees, that the ten young Staffordshire farmers had waived their grant of 100 acres each and had probably indentured themselves for a period. John was appointed first Deputy Sheriff of Albany in 1828, which position he held until his brother returned from England. John also acquired Frederick's interest in Belmont, and in 1834 received a further grant of 4095 acres of land.
