Richard and Ann Hulley were 1820 settlers who arrived on the ship Stentor as members of Richardson's Group.

Richardson's Party, sailed aboard the Stentor from Liverpool on 13 January 1820 and arrived in Table Bay on 19 April 1820 and then transferred to the HM Store Ship Weymouth and arrived at Algoa Bay on 15 May 1820. (See below for fuller description of Richardson's Party)

They landed at Algoa Bay (now Port Elizabeth) with their four children - Richard Brangan, Ann, Sarah and Francis Turner and settled in the Clumber area of the Albany District on the farm "Claxton". Five more children were born in SA.

N.B. Richard's age is given in burial register as 99yr 10 mo, but this is incorrect ‎(94 ys 10 mo)‎. [Sharon's Note; Although there was a tendency for older men to represent themselves as younger in order to make their emigration application more acceptable]. There is no gravestone for Richard in the Cradock cemetery ‎[6]‎. Cutler's apprentice 1797 ‎[33]‎.

It took enterprise and courage for anyone,no matter how poor, to abandon his home in Britain in 1820 and migrate to afar and unknown part of the world such as Southern Africa. The difficulties,delays and expenses of transport were such that once leaving his native soil,the emigrant knew that it was unlikely that he would see his old home again.Hard work and frontier dangers kept most immigrants to their lands. ‎(95y)‎.
