Hi, Here is an excerp from the February issue of GSSA, East Cape newsletter, Chronicles: b10. George Murray ministered in Willowmore from 1869, Swellendam from 1879, Oudtshoorn from 1892, de Hoop from 1910 and Worcester from 1916. (Willowmore was named after the farm, The Willows & owner William Moore and first named Willow-Moore).
