Notes |
- "JOHN TAYLOR born 5th June 1778, in Scone in Scotland married ANTONIA FRANCINA VAN GEYZEL born 3rd August 1790, in Point de Galle, Ceylon. She was a governess and he was a missionary. He was ordained in London in 1816 and was a member of the London Missionary Society. He arrived in Cape Town in 1817 with John Moffat, James Kitchingman John Evans and other LMS missionaries. He had been sent by Lord Somerset to minister to Beaufort West where he established the first DR church. He was later sent to Cradock, where he ministered for over 40 years.
They had one(?) child JANE AGNES MARY TAYLOR who was born in Beaufort West.
The Cradock museum has a note that he had two sons aswell.
She married ROBERT McLACHLAN ARMSTRONG who was born 1815 in Paisley in Scotland .
(It is thought that he was the son of George Armstrong and Janet MacLachlan but cant confirm as I have no factual details of this at all - Judy Armstrong).
However it is known that Robert McLachlan Armstrong was a Naval surgeon and a doctor.
ROBERT visited Grahamstown, Blockdrift, Cradock and Graaf-Reinet in 1838 as a member of Governor Napier’s first visit to the Eastern Cape Colony. He met JANE (who was to be his future wife) at the Pastorie in Cradock, obtained an honourable discharge from the royal Navy and married Jane in Graaf-Reinet in 1840 and became Cradocks first Doctor.
