J CLARK listed was in fact Joshua Clark b 2 Aug 1812 in Weedon Beck
Northampton son of Charles & Sarah 1820 Settlers .

I am still trying to verify their marriages, dates of birth etc

There are a number of write up's in various books that I have seen; one is
in THEY WERE SOUTH AFRICANS by John Bond page 204.

Are you interested I could look for the references
