• Notes

  From the Grahamstown Journal of 26.8.1902 p3. c7 So from this report I have calculated that he died on 20 Aug 1902 in what was then known as the Transvaal Colony. Ian DEATH OF AN OLD COLONIST The death is announced of Mr. Robert Carlisle. Born in Grahamstown in 1832, Mr. Carlisle was the eldest son of the late John Carlisle, one of the 1820 settlers. Mr. Carlisle first started life as a farmer near Bedford, where he soon became the leading spirit of that district. Being of a romantic disposition, in 1867 he moved to New England, Wodehouse Division (now Barkly East), and at that time almost uninhabited. Here, after severe trials, he once more came to the fore as the leading spirit, and gained the respect of all the farmers in the neighbourhood. Mr. Carlisle also saw a great deal of active service, and as far back as 1832 served under the late Sir Walter Currie, by whom he was mentioned in despatches for valuable services rendered during those troublesome times. In 1878, when the Morosi rebellion broke out, Mr. Carlisle was elected field captain of a burgher corps then called out by the Cape Government for defensive purposes, and in 1880 he raised the first volunteer corps under Commandant H. Nesbitt, an old ex regular, and took a very prominent part in crushing several rebel chiefs, including the Tambookie leader Stock Tyali, and defending the border against the hordes of Basutos then threatening that part of the Colony. During this campaign Mr. Carlisle contracted rheumatism, eventually developing into rheumatic fever, and after eight years of suffering passed away at Springs (Transvaal) on Wednesday last. - Star.
