About Anne Farre, SM/PROG

Anne Farre (Wiltse)

The Farres had emigrated from Brockville, Canada and arrived in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, in late January or early February 1861/1862.
The Farres travelled from Canada to New York to wait for the ship that was to take them to South Africa, probably late in 1860/1861 when the St, Lawrence River was frozen at that time of the year.

I do not know when my grandfather met Anne Farre's (nee Wiltse) daughter, Susan Mary Farre but I am positive that the meeting must have taken place at Somerset East, South Africa, to which town her parents came from Canada.

Despite searching the shipping intelligence in the "Argus", the "Cape Government Gazette" (which, at that time, did not publish only Government Notices) and the "Eastern Province Herald", I have not discovered the precise date of their arrival, but my mother said that they arrived either in late January or early February of 1862 and were conveyed by ox wagon of Mr. Robert Mitford Bowker from Port Elizabeth to Somerset East, after having been brought ashore from the ship in a surf-boat.

Edna Clare Sparkman (nee Robertson) descended from the Pfohls and Farres. 10th September, 1983
