Hi Sharon It would seem to be correct as Samuel James was 31 (in 1820) and his wife Elizabeth died in Portsmouth so he could have remarried to your Hester Trollip. His son from Elizabeth, Edward married a Sarah and when he died she married a John Selby - part of my Pike lot!! These settlers sure knew how to intermingle!! Did your Samuel/Hester marriage produce any children? Take care Lynn
Hi Sharon I dont know if you have the Settlers Handbook but..... JAMES' PARTY No. 35 on the Colonial Department list, led by Samuel James, a carpenter of Westbury, Wiltshire. This was a joint-stock party, recommended and financially aided by the parish authorities and the 'gentlemen of Westbury' . The group amalgamated with the remainder of a party from Frome in the neighbouring country of Somersetshire. The Frome contingent - Barlett, Hayward, Randall, and Usher...... James travelled to Portsmouth to see his party aboard HM Store Ship Weymouth before returning to Westbury to Fetch his wife who had recently given birth to twin boys. She and one of the infants died on board the Weymouth before the ship left Portsmouth; the secondinfant died soon after putting to sea. The Weymouth left Portsmouth on 7 Jan 1820 reaching Table Bay on 26 April and Algoa Bay on 15 May. The party was located on an arm of the Lynedoch River, naming its location Bethany. Party Names: Banks, Barter (or Bartlett), Hayward, Hinton, Hobbs, Lanham, Pinnock, Randall, Rogers, Usher and Warren. JAMES: Samuel, 31, Carpenter, w. Elizabeth 33 (died at Portsmouth) child. Edward 8, Elizabeth 5, Stephen 2, Thomas (died at Portsmouth) Samuel William (died at sea) HYMAN'S PARTY No. 30 on the Colonial Department list, led by Charles Hyman, a labourer of Short Street, Westbury, Wiltshire. THis was a joint-stock party made up of labouring men and their families from an area that was hard hit by unemployment and excited by the prospects of emigration. Hyman's party and that of Samuel James, absorbed the remainder of sveral other local parties that had formed and then disintergrated. The party was located on the right bank of the Lynedoch River, naming its location Standerwick. The three Wilshire joint-stock parties under Hyman, Ford and James were exceptional among the settlers in remaining virtually intact under their original leaders for the first three years of the settlement. Note: Benjamin Trollip obtained employment in Cape Town, where he remained. Party Names: Adams, Debnam, Farley, Hyman Charles, Hyman John, King, Neat, Weakley TROLLIP: Hester 18 (daughert of Joseph Trollip) TROLLIP: John 22, labourer w. Elizabeth 20TROLLIP: Joseph 38, labourer w. Susan 39 child. Benjamin 16, Rhoda 13, Jacob 11, Joseph 9 andMary Ann 7 TROLLIP: Stephen 19, labourer w. Mary 20 TROLLIP: William 24 labourer. w.

At the end of 1822 the pass system instituted to keep settlers on their locations wasabandoned, and this was probably one of the reasons for james collett moving to Grahamstown. There is no record of what he did and where he lived during 1823 but he and Rhoda Collett had almost certainly met by that time, he was nearly 24 and she 17 when they were married on Feb 6, 1824, by Rev William Geary in Grahamstown, probably in the Yellow Chapel. The foundation stone of this first place of Wesleyan worship in the town was laid on dec 5th, 1821, and the building was enlarged by the time of their marriage. it was adouble wedding. Rhoda's sisiter Esther's marriage was solemnised at the same time, though they had been married on board the Weymouth.
