• Notes

  Some doubt whether he was with this party, but was with this party in 1824, and some record exists of him coming over in the "Waterloo"? I suspect that he travelled on the Weymouth with Menezies party in place of James Reed and his family, as I have found no trace of them arriving in SA Tuesday 6 January 1863 DIED in Grahamstown on Sunday 4th January 1863 at the residence of his son-in-law Mr. Chs. POULTON, Mr. Wm. MARSH Senr, aged 86 years 8 months and 12 days. Deceased came to this Colony with the British Settlers of 1820. GRAHAMSTOWN JOURNAL
