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/

Death Notice (Cape Archives) of his son John says he was born in Gosport to Richard and Susan WHITE

Death Notice (Cape Archives) for another Richard WHITE says he was also the son of Richard and Susannah, born in Gosport, though his baptism has not been found. This fits with Richard saying in his correspondence to the Colonial Office that he had a son serving in the Navy.
