If you were to grant us permission to settle there Sir I have a friend that would advance the money for us to go immediately I am Sir your most obedient and humble servant William BROOKS ===== THE SETTLER HANDBOOK by MD Nash THE SETTLER PARTIES THORNHILL'S PARTY No. 57 on the Colonial Department list, led by Christopher Thornhill, a merchant from a landowning family of Sutherland, Durham. Thornhill initially entered into a partnership with William Wait and Arthur Barker to take a party of some 50 labourers and their families to the Cape, under Wait's direction (see Wait's Party). Labourers were recruited in Buckinghamshire in October 1819 and signed on at a meeting attended by parish officers at the Greyhound Inn, Marlow. In December the settlers were assembed at Marlow and a nephew of Thornhill's Adam Gilfillan, supervised their journey on foot to Deptford where they were to embark. The settlers marched with the baggage wagons and spent a night at an inn at Hounslow en route. Towards the end of December 1819, when the party was about to board the Zoroaster, the Colonial Department was notified that Wait had been arrested for debt and a writ to prevent his leaving the country had been issued on the application of a former business partner. Thornhill was appointed head of the party in Wait's place. Three weeks later however, with the Zoroaster still lying at Deptford, Wait managed to settle his affairs and obtain his release. Thornhill was unwilling to place himself and his share of the party's finances again under Wait's direction, and a quarrel developed that the Colonial Department was called upon to settle by arbitration. An official was sent from Downing Street to Deptford to dissolve the partnership and divide the party into two separate units, and the settlers on board were given the choice of which master they would serve. Twenty-six men signed a new service agreement with Wait, and Arthur Barker with his steward Henry Ulyate and nine labourers (two of whom deserted before the ship sailed) also chose to remain under Wait's leadership. When the settlers eventually reached Algoa Bay, Barker's party split off and was located separately. Thornhill was made head of a party of his own, comprising 16 men, including two of his nephews, Adam Gilfillan and Philip Camm. His labourers signed an agreement similar to Wait's, binding them to six years of service at a daily wage equivalent to the value of half a bushel of wheat. Working hours were to be from eight in the morning to four in the afternoon, and each man would be entitled to 'a suitable habitation' and half an acre of garden ground. Three of Thornhill's party deserted before the Zoroaster sailed, but a late replacement, William Stokes, was allowed to board the ship while she was detained in the Downs awaiting a favourable wind. The Zoroaster left the Downs on 12 February 1820, and reached Simon's Bay on 20 April. Here her charter terminated, and the settlers were transshipped to the Albany for the voyage to Algoa Bay, which they reached on 15 May. Thornhill was granted a plot of land at Algoa Bay for the erection of a prefabricated wooden house which he had brought with him, as its size made it difficult to transport to his location in Albany. Thornhill's party - described by one of the colonial officials as 'the best regulated of any yet landed here' - was located between the Kowie and Rufane Rivers, and the location was named Thornhill. Lieut William Gilfillan (half-pay, late 60th Regt), a brother of Adam Gilfillan, also lived at Thornhill after his marriage to Christopher Thornhill's daughter Ann. William Gilfillan did not, as is popularly supposed, emigrate with Thornhill's party; he landed in Cape Town from the Importer brig in March 1820, and applied for a grant of land by virtue of his seven years' army service at the Cape.

The name Streak is given as Street in the official lists. *John Hassall Howard, whose name does not appear on any official list, claimed to have emigrated with his wife and family as members of Thornhill's party, and was discharged from Thornhill's service in 1821 when he injured his right hand (Cape Archives CO 158,142). In a letter to the Colonial Department before emigrating, he described himself as a chemist, druggist and apothecary. It is not known how he was connected with William Howard, or whether he sailed in the Zoroaster in place of some other settler. Ann Bagshaw (34) is entered in the Agent's Return but not in any earlier list, and may have been attached either to Thornhill's party or to Wait's (See Wait's Party).

Tomlinson van Swellendam (onderhoud 10.10.1960) het die ou pad, wat nog sigbaar is, op die plaas Hessekwaskloof oor die roete van die huidige nasionale pad noordooswaarts gestrek en op die plaas Vaandrigts Drift oor die Riviersonderend gegaan. Daarvandaan het die pad oor Potjeskraal na die oudste pont kort bokant die samevloeiing van Riviersonderend en Breederivier gevoer, wat van 1757 in gebruik was, na die oorkantste plaas Het Voorhuys by de Leeuwenrivier, die geskiedkundige plaas van Hermanus Steyn, die ouere, en ongeveer ses myl van die Swellendamse drosdy.

He also owned a farm called De Sagte Valleij in the Land of Waveren, which, in 1740, was run by his son Gerrit van der Merwe. When he and his wife made their will in November 1739 he was ill and confined to bed ('Siekelijk te bedde leggend') and she was not well either.

The farm "de Hoop" in Klein Drakenstein was given to him in 1692 by governor Simon van der Stel. It was thus the second farm in the van der Merwe family (the first farm being "Kronendal" in Hout Bay). The Van der Merwe descendants lived on this farm for 130 years. He was a renowned man, serving as member of the Heemraad of Stellenbosch as well as Drakenstein (Paarl). A local burgher commando under leadership of himself and Jan Harmense Potgieter was formed to protect the local farmers from Hottentot attacks in the Land van Waveren. 23 volunteers joined this expedition.

According to the Estate inventory of 1740 there were 11 surviving children). Extra notes for Willem Schalkzoon van der Merwe (Schalk's father) Willem Schalkszoon van der MERWE, kom na die Kaap in April 1661. Hy het vo orheen op die VOC skip Dordrecht diens gedoen. In die Kaap werk hy ee rs as dagloner in die Companie se bouland onder Hendrik Boom. Hy is oorle de in Julie 1716. He arrived with 344 other passengers. Willem Schalk van der Merwe was 'n haakbusskutter (arquebusier) op die sk ip Dordrecht. Burger op 5 Mei 1661. Hy tree weer in diens van die V.O. C. in 1663 onder Hendrik Boom as adelborst belas met landbou. Willem word binne drie weke voor sy troue aangekla dat hy beeste van die inboorlinge koop, hy word toe gevonnis tot lyfstraf. Die vonnis was opgeskort en hy moes 'n boete van vyftig riksdaalers betaal. Hy trou op 9 September 1668 met Elsie CLOETE die oudste kind van Jacob Cloete en sy vrou Fijtje Raderootjies (gebore Sophia Raedergortz). In 1672 word al sy skape gesteel deur die Hottentote. Hulle het vyf van die diewe gevang en hulle vasgebind en toe na die Fort gevat, maar ons weet nie wat hulle lot toe was nie. In 1763 his house (as well as that of Christiaan Jansz) was burnt down. In 1677 word die omgewing om Houtbaai aan Willem en die stamvader Pieter van der Westhuizen verhuur. Die kontrak was vier jare later gekanselleer, en die grond is aan hulle as vrye eindom gegun. Hier het Willem en Elsie moontlik hulle kinders op die plaas Kronendal grootgemaak. Kronendal is dus die eerste plaas van die van der Merwe stamouers, en nie de Hoop in Paarl nie. DOGTER BY 'n SLAAFIN Willem het 'n dogter gehad met 'n slavin wat Simon van der Stel aan hom geskenk het, die kind se naam was Maria. Hierdie slavin was in 1686 vrygestel (Attestasie 1664 in C 326 pp 478-9, p 6 en 27). Maria het die stammoeder geword van die Heyns familie, sy trou in 1696 met Paulus Heyns. Elsie se vader Jacob Cloete word in 1693 naby die Kasteel vermoor. Die Goewerneur beskrywe die voorval soos volg: "Deesen avon tusschen 8 a 9 ur en is niet verre van casteel en bij't vleeschhuis vermoort Jacob Cloeten, corporaal in dienst der der E.

Die oudste kind Sophia van der Merwe ook bekend as Fytjie Schalk'. Volgens 'n artikel in die S.A. Mediesetydskrif blyk dit dat die siektetoestand Huntingtons Chorea wat algemeen voorkom onder sommige Afrikaanssprekende families, afkomstig is van Sophia van der Merwe. Die voorouers van meer as 200 persone wat tans aan hierdie toestand ly, is nagevors en almal kan teruggevoer word tot kinders van Sophia uit haar twee huwelike.
