Arlene, I'm aware of two books on Cornish immigrants in South Africa, and there are probably more. The first (and more frequently helpful to me) is the previously mentioned "Cornish Immigrants to South Africa" by Graham B. Dickason published by A. A. Balkema of Cape Town in 1978. The second is Richard D. Dawe's "Cornish Pioneers in South Africa" published in 1998 by Cornish Hillside Publications of St. Austell.

Morning all, Yesterday I was was looking at Wills and came across a Will for a Richard GARTRELL [looking for GASTRELL], merchant of St George in the East, Mdx. The Will was written 15 May 1731 and Probated 14 Dec 1731 [PROB 11/648] In the Will he mentions wife Mary plus leasehold estate in Plymouth in the Co. of Devon " which I hereby order and direct shall not be sold to be placed out of interest arising thereby to be paid and appin...ee? in the manner herein after mentioned ' One third to his wife Two thirds to my daughters Mary and Catherine [to share and share alike] My sisters Catherine and Elizabeth of St Ives in Cornwall one guinea each. Hope this is of interest to anyone researching this name. Bev in Toowoomba waiting for a partial eclipse.

Bev, I wouldn't rule out the possibility that this man is the Richard GARTRELL, s/o Remfry & Catherine GARTRELL, who was baptized at Phillack in 1685. The parents had at least five children, all baptized at Phillack: Catherine bap. 1678 Elizabeth bap. 1680 John bap. 1684 Richard bap. 1685 Thomas bap. 1687 I don't know what became of Catherine. However, Elizabeth married a John HOLMAN at Phillack in 1716, and they had at least three children: Catherine bap. 1711 Elizabeth bap. 1714 Elizabeth bap. 1724 The first two daughters were baptized at Phillack, but the third daughter (i.e. the second Elizabeth) was baptized at St. Ives. This isn't a lot of evidence, but the shoe does potentially fit. Bill Curnow Port Charlotte, FL, USA ----- Original Message ----- From: "B.
