Notes:

David and Mary were 1820 settlers. issue: 7 sons and 3 daughters. The three daughters married three 1820 settlers: Gradwell, Hartley and Kelbrick. Said to have left his "ancestral home, Way Bank Hall, Yorkshire" to emigrate [Keighley paper, August 18, 1877]. Said to be woollen manufacturers in Yorkshire (Agnes Gradwell). Embarked 1-Jan-1820 at Liverpool; landed at Algoa Bay 6-May-1820.

David CAWOOD, of Way Bank Hall, owned a flourishing cotton mill near Bradford and Keighley and in traditional; frock coat and top hat, regularly attended the cotton auctions at Bradford, Leeds and Keighley.
It is interesting that his mother [née GIBSON], who died in 1818 received her Wesleyan membership personally from John WESLEY, and never missed a ticket until her death at the age of 86. David's father Joshua, died at the early age of 50 and both he and Mary are buried at Keighley.
It is said that David pioneered the switch-over hand-operated cotton looms to power-driven looms early in the 19th century. The workers regarded the advent of power looms as a threat to their livelihood. It was feared that one machine, able to do the work of many men, would replace men in due course. Superstition and fear took possession of these simple folk and they burned David CAWOOD's Mill to the ground.
In addition to this disaster a cotton famine resulting from crop failures hit the industry causing many other Cotton Mills in Britain to shut down.
As a result of the Napoleonic wars, England found herself crippled and exhausted. Distress and unemployment were rife and Parliament, on 12 July 1819, decided to expand £50,000 in sending 4000 settlers to the Cape, in an effort to alleviate some of the distress in England.
Unbeknown to the settlers, the locations they were to occupy were to constitute a buffer zone between the marauding Kaffirs [sic]and the Eastern Cape farmers.
The emigration schemes was heartily taken up and 90,000 applications were received from which the 4000 were selected. In due time they embarked for the Cape in 21 ships.
Among the settlers, on the vessel "John", was David CAWOOD, 43 who with his wife Mary had left their ancestral home "Way Bank Hall" in Yorkshire, with their nine children; James 21; William, 19; John, 18; Joshua, 16; Elizabeth, 13; Mary, 12; Samuel, 10, Joseph, 9 and Sarah, 5.
FOOTNOTE: Because David CAWOOD did not write down where "Way Bank Hall" could be found, no trace now exists of the old ancestral home.

Betty was the last of the Cawood's who left British shores to die, and her last words were "All's well". One of her ancestors received the honour of a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth. arrived at the age of 13 (Hockley).

[A short extract written by Agnes Kent (nee Gradwell) about her mother Betty Cawood.]
Betty Cawood was the 5th child and eldest daughter of David and Mary Cawood. She was born at Waybank Hall, near Bingley, Yorkshire on 13th June, 1805. Her parents were woollen manufacturers, but being persuaded by an Uncle Wilkinson they went into business at Sabde (Salden ?) [probably Saltaire, near Bingley. DB] Mother often spoke of going to school there and of old Squire Farren who used to nap at the fireside.
The call for people to come to the Cape Colony - David Cawood, wife, seven sons and three daughters embarked on the "John" on the 1st January 1820. David, the youngest child died with measles on the voyage. They landed in Algoa Bay on the 6th May 1820. The minute gun was firing for the death of George the third. (Mother told us about her father pulling on a pair of tight boots to celebrate George III's jubilee. They lived in Saldin [? Saltaire] when Waterloo was celebrated)
They were carried from the boats (at Algoa Bay) by natives - mother the first one of their ship to land. There were only 6 or 8 houses then. Captain Pearson had been very kind. Father (William Gradwell) was introduced to Miss Cawood - he put his hand on her head and said "This is a bonny lass, you won't keep her long". She was very indignant.
They were packed into the oxwagon and reached the location on the 18th May. They were fortunate in getting the houses used by the soldiers at Kaffir Drift, now Cawoods Post. Her mother was not accustomed to a rough life and the death of her baby caused her to be very delicate. Ma often said one of the dainties her Mother enjoyed was some small onions and bread and butter. Father (William Gradwell) was always near and did lots for the Cawoods.
At the last minute of sailing his Uncle John Rigg would not come and gave father (William Gradwell) all he had on board. There was a large net and seed potatoes. They soon found fish and used to take them to Cape Town. (John Rigge crossed off sailing list in London)
On the 1st January 1822 Ma was married to William Gradwell. She was dressed in a coloured muslin and a very fine plaited Coffee leaf bonnett made by herself - Mrs Godlonton's brother taught her to plait. Her hair was in curls. She was married in Rev Boardman's house. Her mother had a nice dinner ready for them. On the 2nd January 1822 her mother (Mary Cawood) was going in a wagon to Bathurst for medical attendance - she was near Trappes Valley and just said "I like William to drive and Samuel to lead". She asked to be lifted out of the wagon and was gone to join the baby she loved, only about 36 years of age. Grandfather (David Cawood) lived with mother (Betty, his daughter) until he also passed away in 1832. The ring Mother wore was bought from Mr Gowar.
Father and Mother [Gradwell] both joined the Wesleyan Society and received their first tickets in Mr Pike's house from Rev Young. Grandfather Cawood's memorial service was at Baileys Party. Charles Bailey preached text "For me to live in Christ, to die is gain".
William Gradwell died at Grahamstown 26th November 1849.
Betty Gradwell died at Somerset East 1896 on the 4th September and her last words were "All's well". Posted by Beverley Young on Facebook, having received it from Anne Clarkson.

marriage date as 3 Dec 1821. (91y,2m,22d).

Notes:

Samuel CAWOOD, born in England, came out in 1820 as a settler with father David at age 10 but must have been 12. Died 1887 age 79, a retired merchant in Grahamstown.

Foremost among David CAWOOD's six sons was Samuel, who it is recorded, ranked second only to Mr. GODLONTON among the survivors of the settlers of 1820. A 'settler' he was not, properly speaking, as he was too young on arrival to entitle him the privilege of being so described. But if devotion to the interests of his country, pride in his settler ancestry, and unwearied efforts in every work calculated to advance the well-being of the country of his adoption would entitle him to rank as such, the Hon. Samuel CAWOOD deserved to be ranked among them. To his almost unaided exertions is due to the erection of the Settler's Memorial Tower, which was publicly opened by him when he was acting Mayor of Grahamstown on 7 May 1882 and which is as real a memento of his worthy self, as of those whose advent here it is intended to honour, and which will to all time, commemorate the men who have made the Eastern Province as we find it now. He has been described as a "father of the Settlemen!
t" and in addition to being a member of the Municipal Council, has served the City in every capacity.

Samuel was a staunch friend and a true colonist and had always been interested in lower Albany and the improvement of the district by the introduction of fresh agricultural staples. In a book by Sheffield, it says:- "It is here he grew up from boyhood to manhood and there it was he plucked his first Rosebud." Samuel married Rosa PIKE. In his endeavour to open up the Kowie harbour to commerce, he has always been unsparing and lavish of his means.

In 1855 he was made a member of the Legislative Council as were the other brothers, the Hon. Joseph and James CAWOOD, where they ably represented the Eastern Province interests.

The old Wesleyan Chapel has disappeared, pillars and all, and given place to a handsome modern Assembly named after the Rev. W. SHAW, the founder of Methodism in South Africa. On the vacant ground opposite where once stood the family residence of the CAWOODs, a monster hotel had sprung up. The hall publicly opened 7 May 1882.

Samuel gave continuous service to the Municipality from 1858 to 1883.

Extract from a letter written by Hazel McDONALD.

"During all your research into the family history, did you hear the story about Samuel CAWOOD who was a Member of Parliament for Grahamstown for 25 years, but never made a speech? So as a memorial the people of the town erected a clock tower, but without the chimes! If you know it, please let me know which building this particular clock is in." SOURCE: Yvonne BECK née CAWOOD

CAWOOD - The Hon. Samuel CAWOOD, whose death is announced, will be well known to every Cape Colonist, where he may be located. The deceased gentleman was born in April 1810, thus having entered his 78th year. He arrived in the Cape Colony by the ship John on April 19, 1820, with his father, Mr. David Cawood, and five brothers - James, William, John, Joshua, and Joseph - all of whom he outlived. Mr. Cawood was of an old Yorkshire family, his birthplace being Waybank Hall, at which place his father was engaged in farming till he decided to take part in the great emigration to South Africa, which took place in 1820. His youth was spent at Kaffir Drift Post, where his father had settled as a farmer. In 1832 Mr. Samuel Cawood and two of his brothers were at the kraal of the treacherous Zulu chief Dingaan, shortly before the frightful massacre of the Boers and their families under Retief.From a similar fate the Cawoods had the narrowest escape. It was with great difficulty that they got permission to leave the place, and, as they afterwards discovered, a body of men had been sent on before to waylay them on their return to Natal. The men fell in on the way with a hunting party of Hottentots, all of whom they killed except one lad. The Cawoods on their return towards Natal crossed the river 24 hours before the Zulus came up, and, owing to the heavy rains, no spoor was left at the drift, which led their pursuers to suppose that they had taken another road, and therefore the chase was abandoned. In 1840 the firm of Cawood Bros. was started in Port Elizabeth, and soon afterwards in Grahamstown and Cradock, four or five smaller branch houses being started in course of time. In 1880 he was elected Mayor of Grahamstown and on May 7, 1882, he presided as Acting Mayor at the opening of the new Town Hall. The chief mourners were the following relatives and family connections of the deceased:-
Messrs. Thomas, William and George CAWOOD.
Messrs. Herbert BAKER and Charles DYER, of King Williamstown
Mr. J.W. KING, of Adelaide, Mr. R.W. NELSON, of Grahamstown

In addition to these were numerous distant relatives, together with Mr. John ATHERSTONE, of Albany, and Mr. VARDY, of Port Elizabeth.

Although the source on the net lists all as Frances and Joseph's children, I suspect that the children from Charlotte Martha onward (based on the 1st 4 being born one each year and her after a gap of 2years ) were all from his 2nd wife Jess Kelbrick. If Charlotte not, thenmost likely from Jessie Usher onward. Why otherwise would he have namedher Jessie? I have nevertheless left them as all being from his 1st wife.

He was a member of the Legislative Assembly for Grahamstown in 1855 and a Member of the Legislative Council, Eastern Districts in 1859. He was part owner of the Cawood Brothers Vessel "Unity" for Coastal Services.
