Additonal Information

This is pre 1820 information mainly taken from actual images of UK parish registers and other primary sources which I have personally researched. Further information about the settlers and their families once they reached the Cape can be found at https://www.1820settlers.com/

Leader of BAILIE's Party

From "Bailie's Party of 1820 Settlers" by M.D. Nash

John BAILIE (1788-1852) was born in Ongole, Madras, the son of Thomas BAILIE, a subaltern in the East India Company's army temporarily attached to the service of the Nawab of Arcot, and his wife Anne HOPE. Both families were well connected; the BAILIEs were minor Irish landed gentry who had owned the townlands of Inishargy, County Down, from the time of the Ulster Plantation until 1767, and the HOPEs were eminent in the legal profession in Scotland.
