- 1820 Settler, member of Bailie's Party aboard the ship Chapman.
from Rootsweb posted by Carol Forsberg in 2010:
An original 1820 Settler (Gunsmith), Party: Bailie's; Ship: Chapman. E. Morse-Jones :- 1781 - A gunsmith he sailed in "Chapman" in 1819. He directed a division of Bailie's party after they reached their location. He painted in oils, including a fine self-portrait and portraits of his sons.
15 Sept 1827 - Surveyor Smith's diagrams included his farm, THORN FARM.Bailie's Party of Settlers - A collective experience in emigration - M.D. Nash
(A.A. Balkema). The following are extracts:-Land Grant Timothy
Flanegan :- Size 208 Morgen. Date of grant, 15/9/1841.
Survevor-general's diagram no. 216/1827.Biography - Timothy
(1781-c1826) - Gunsmith - (Pg 141).
Although described in the party lists as a gunsmith, there is no evidence that he practised this trade in the Colony. He joined J.E. Ford's sub-division of Bailie's Party but re-organised it under his own leadership in February 1821.
By 1824 he had acquired a considerable herd of cattle. He was granted a share of the Party's location. According to his death notice he was born in England, the son of Nicholas Flanegan, and died during 1824.
The death notice was only filed in 1853 and its information about his date of death is incorrect: He was present at a meeting of Bailie's Party in 1826 (5/2/1826) His daughter, Mary Ann married W.O. Lloyd (See Lloyd, Henry) and died young. Mrs Mary Flanegan died before 1835, and Flanegan's share of the location, named St Ann's Vale, was inherited by his three surviving children, James, Arthur and Elizabeth (Moorcroft).Was the name St Ann's Vale changed to Thorn farm?? Could it be that because the farm was surveyed after Timothy's death and granted after both he and his wife had passed on, the children renamed it? The farm may also have been sub-divided and James' portion became Thorn farm.Captain Trappe's was called on to intervene when Timothy Flanegan and his wife threatened and vilified William Hart after he had shot at their goats in his cornfield; and Flanegan and Henry Belmour combined to terrorise John Lawler and his women-folk, and insulted Mrs Lawler and her sister with scurrilous language.The Albany Settlers had discovered that a few hundred acres of Suurveld soil could not provide a family with a living. The Settlers who stayed to farm at Cuylerville, among them Timothy Flanegan, extended their land by the purchase of other allotments on the location. The value of land slumped during the general exodus from Albany after the war of 1834-35. They stood their ground through two more frontier wars. In 1846 the schoolhouse at Cuylerville provided a laager for the scattered inhabitants of the district, while homesteads and stacks belonging to amongst others, Timothy Flanegan, went up in flames. In 1851, during the 8th Frontier War, the defenders of Cuylerville included Timothy Flanegan.
NOTE: This last statement about Timothy Flanegan being involved in the defence fo Cuylerville in 1851 conflicts with a date of death in 1824 - suggest the death notice is correct at 1853.
