1820 Settler (Clark's Party). Travelled unaccompanied but in the records as Charlotte Brown, sister of John Brown (sic). Became common law wife of John Brown after he dumped his wife Anne. All 5 of their children retained the surname Whitfield. Charlotte's descendants were mainly traders and farmers in the Eastern Cape and Transkei. They have since spread throughout Southern Africa and to places like Australia, New Zealand and England. Death notice from extract CMISC315 Kaffrarian Watchman dated Monday 28 June 1875 gives her death as monday 21 June 1875 at age of 85 years and 4 months making her birthday in Feb 1790. Her baptism however at St Paul's Covent Garden occurred on 17 March 1789 which probably means she was born in Feb 1789 rather than 1790.
