The Doctors Who Came to the Cape with the 1820 Settlers

Those who were heads of parties and who apparently did not apply for licences to practise, were Thomas Calton who travelled on the Aurora and who died soon after landing at Algoa Bay; W. Clark, who was on board the Northampton; David Thomas Nightingale on board the Amphitrite and Nathaniel Morgan who took passage with his party on the Ocean. It is this Dr Morgan who became an Assistant Surgeon in the Army, and during the Sixth Kaffir War he was attached to the Burgher Forces and was publicly thanked for his services.

My Lord

I beg leave to make known to your Lordship my desire,

that should I fortunately succeed in my application

for leave to become a settler at the Cape of Good

Hope, which application is now under your Lordship's

consideration, I may be entrusted with a Medicine

Chest by his Majesty's Government for the use of the

settlers during their passage to the Cape of Good

Hope, and which I will deliver up at my arrival to

such authority as shall be by your Lordship's

instructions appointed to receive it.

I had the honor to make the above proposal to the Army

Medical Board when I applied for leave of absence for

the purpose of emigration and it was not thought by

them to be impertinent and they advised the

proposition to be submitted to your Lordship's notice.

I know the necessity of so many families having

medical assistance at hand during so long a voyage

will occupy a share of your Lordship's kind

consideration, therefore I trust my present

application will meet with your Lordship's approbation

if not inconsistent with the measures His Majesty's

Government intend to adopt.

I have the honour to be My Lord

With the greatest respect

In the list which I had the honor to submit to the

beg leave therefore to state the above circumstance,

that I may be permitted to take out this additional

person.

I also had the honor to address the Right Honourable

the Earl BATHURST in a letter dated August 23rd

become sick during the passage to the place of

to your recollection the above circumstance.

Dear John

Two questions:

Firstly: Dr. Nathaniel MORGAN was "of the 91st Regiment". My ancestor William WALLACE was also a member of this regiment. Have you done any research on this regiment?

Secondly, your Emma MORGAN has a spouse named William TROLLOP. I can't seem to place this couple on my TROLLIP/TROLLOP tree. I'd be very grateful for any further information or references.

Regards

Russell

Thanks Becky

This will help a lot. Will compare the names and see if any fit into my
tree. From my research so far, I do not think that there is a link
between your William Ablort and my Nathaniel in South Africa - maybe
before their arrival in the Cape?
