Notes by JDJ:
John Daunt who, in 24 Henry VI (1445-46), regained the right to inherit his father's estates was evidently a lawyer
of Barnard's Inn in Holborne, London. Barnard's Inn was one of the inns of court and chancery and was affiliated
to Gray's Inn, one of the four principal inns, the other three being Lincoln's Inn, the Inner Temple and the Middle
Temple. These inns were, in fact, law schools and societies of lawyers. As schools for the study of law they were
on the same footing as the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The inns were concerned, however, with
English law or common law while the universities taught only Roman law and cannon law.4
The inns of chancery affiliated to Gray's Inn were Staple Inn and Barnard's Inn. The former was an inn of
chancery in the reign of Henry V and later became the property of the Actuaries society. Barnard's Inn, named
after Lionel Barnard who leased it from the dean of Lincoln, became an inn of chancery at least before 1451. The
inn was later the property of the Mercer's company.

Notes for John Daunt, of Owlpen:
He was called on by Prince Edward, the son of King Henry VI, and Margaret of Anjou, to aid the Lancastrian
cause in the Wars of the Roses. The Prince addressed to him the following letter:
"By the Prince.
Trusty and well-beloved, wee greete yowe well, acquaintinge yowe, that this day wee be arrived at Waymoth in
safety, blessed be our Lord; and at our landinge Wee have knowledge that the King's great rebell, Edward, Earl of
March, our enemy, approcheth him in arms towards the King's highness; which Edward wee propose, with God's
grace, to encounter with all haste possible. Wherefore wee hartily pray yowe, and in the King's name charge
yowe, that yowe, incontinent, after the sight hereof, come to us wheresoever Wee be, with all such felloship as
yowe can make in your most defensible aray, as our trust is that you will doe.
Written at Waymoth, aforesaid, the XIII. day of April, (1471).
Moreover Wee will that yowe charge the Bayliffe of mer run Parton to make all the people there to come in their
best aray to us in all haste, and that the sayd Bayhliffe bring with him the rente from our Lady Day last past, and
he nor the tenants fayle not as he intends to have our favour.
Edward.
To our trusty and well-beloved John Daunt."
(Transcript of letter as quoted by John Daunt in "Some Account of the Family of Daunt". He identifies the
recipient of the letter as John Daunt who married Anne Stawell in about 1440. There is evidence, however, that
this John Daunt had died by 1458 since this was the year that his widow was remarried to John Clevedon of Mere.
It is more likely that the recipient of the letter was John's son, John Daunt who married Margery de Oulepenne)

Jones. She died 1631.
Notes for Thomas Daunt, of Owlpen, Tracton Abbey & Gort.:
Thomas Daunt, b. 1560, went to Ireland in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. In about 1585 he took up residence at
Britfieldstowne, near Robert's Cove, in co. Cork. In 1588 he leased Tracton Abbey with his cousin James Daunt
from Sir Warham St. Leger. In 1589, Thomas was one of 50 who undertook to inhabit lands in "Kyercurrughy"
and "Kynsale" under Sir Warham St. Leger. In 1590, Thomas married Mary O'Sullivan Jones in the parish
church of Ballyfeard. In 1595, he bought Gortigrenane for L50 from Sir Warham St. Leger. In 1598, he was
uprooted from Gortigrenane by the Munster Rebellion, but he was restored later. In 1599, he was the Executor of
his mother's Will. Thomas died on 20 August 1621 at 11:00 a.m. and was buried 22 August 1621. His Will was
proved on 18 October 1621.
John Daunt: "Some Account of the Family of Daunt": "Thomas Daunt and Mary Jones were married in the
Parish Church of Ballyfeard, by one Donogh McTeig O'Cahan, the Curate or Vicar of Ballyfeard, who was then
"a conformable Minister, notwithstanding since fallen back again". The marriage, it was stated, "was solemnized
with English Service, and after the ceremonies and manner of the Church of England; and the dinner was kept in
the Monastery of Tracton"."

Notes for Frances Daunt:
"History of Prinknash Park" by the Rev. William Bazeley, M.A. Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire
Archeological Society, Vol. VII, 1882-3:
"A New Guide to Ludlow", by W. Felton, says, that in the chapel, on the north side of the chancel, called S.
John's Chapel, is a monument with two effigies on the top, as large as life, the one of Sir John Bridgeman, who is
represented in his robes and cap, agreeable to the character preserved of him, with a sensible and morose
countenance; the other, a female with a book in her right hand. A tablet of black marble, ornamented with
festoons of fruit and foliage and three coats of arms, together with a cornice, all of white marble, is placed on the
tomb against the wainscote, and is thus inscribed in gilt letters: "Sacrum memoriae D'ni Johannis Bridgeman
militis servientis ad legem et capitalis justicarii Cestriae qui maximo omnium bonorum maerore cum 70 annos
vixisset 5 Febr. anno 1637 pie placideque animam Deo reddidit Francisca uxor maestissima posuit."
Wright, in his History of Ludlow, says it is supposed that these effigies were sculptured by Francisco Fanelli. The
head of the tomb was opened in 1805, to make a grave for a Mrs. Turner, and the hair of Sir John and his lady
was found perfectly entire; but the coffin moulded on exposure to the air. There is no record of Lady
Bridgeman's burial in the Ludlow register.
Notes for Sir John Bridgeman:
He was a Sergeant-at-Law and later Chief Justice of Chester. He held the office of Custos Rotulorum of
Gloucestershire from 1621 to 1638. He was preceded in this office by Lord Chandos (Grey Brydges, 5th Baron
Chandos) and was succeeded by Lord Coventry (Thomas Coventry, 1st Baron Coventry). In 1623 John was
knighted. In 1628, he and his son George jointly purchased Prinknash Park, which became the family home. In
the same year, he was appointed Recorder of the City of Gloucester. In 1637, Bridgeman was compelled to take
severe measures to end pilgrimages to St. Winefride's Well, considered a hotbed of recusancy by the government.
He died in 1638 at Ludlow.

From: Daniel Gookin 1612-1687: Assistant and Major General of the Massachusetts Bay Colony: His Life and
Letters and some Account of his Ancestry - by Frederick William Gookin. Chicago, Privately Printed, 1912.
In February or March, 1618, Daniel Gookin agreed to sell the manor of Carrigaline to the Earl of Cork for L1250
sterling and lease the premises back from the Earl for twenty-two years at the favorable rental of L100 per annum.
James Daunt of Tracton was Mr. Gookin's attorney for this transaction.
From the Earl's diary: "2 July, 1618: I rodd to carrickeleyne, where owld Mr John gookin sealed & perfected (as
his son daniell, upon my payment to him of 1250 li ster: had formerly don) my deed of bargayn and sale of the
Mannor of Carrickeleyn, and a bond of 2500 li ster: for performance of covenants, and this daie Ja: daunt of
Tracton as their Attorney delivired me seizen & also peaceable possession of the same."
Daniel Gookin's transatlantic ventures (with the Virginia and Massachusetts Bay Colonies) had not yielded the
rich harvest he anticipated, and now at the age of forty-seven he found himself so greatly in need of money that he
was compelled to dispose of the lease of Carrigaline which had already been pledged to secure various debts.
On June 15, 1629, the Earl of Cork agreed to pay Mr. Gookin L800 sterling for the return of the lease. A week
later the Earl arranged to make a lease of the castle and ploughland of Carrigaline to Mr. Thomas Daunt of
Tracton Abbey for the "Remaynder of danyell gookins lease" at an increase of 5 pounds and 15 schillings above
the rental paid by Daniel Gookin for the entire manor.
From the Earl's diary: "7 October, 1630: Sir Randall cleyton paid for me to Mr danyell Gookin (as the remayn
for the purchase of the lease of carrickleyn) 615 li 3s 9d the Kings Rent for Easter 1630, iiij li xiij s xj d, ffor my
Easter Rent and ffees 50 li, To Mr. Stockdale, for his debt, 5 li, I paid for him to Sir ffardinando George by our
bond C li; I lent him in London xxv li: And in this manner his 800 li was paid him."

Records of the Virginia Company of London, Library of Congress, Washington D.C.:
September 18, 1621, Michaelmas: 10 lbs. "Payd vpon the bill of exchange or note of Mr. Tracy and Mr.
Oldisworth wch. they took vp of Mr. Thomas Daunt in Ireland at Kingfall in October, 1620 driven in thither by
occasion of a leak".
Thomas Daunt was apparently involved in the repair of a ship of the Virginia Company. "The Virginia Company
14
was formed with a charter from King James I in 1606. The Company was a joint stock corporation charged with
the settlement of Virginia. It had the power to appoint the Council of Virginia, the Governor and other officials,
and the responsibility to provide settlers, supplies and ships for the venture. The initial reaction to the Company
was favorable but as the mortality rate rose and the prospect for profit grew dim, the support for it waned. The
leadership resorted to lotteries, searching for gold, and silkworm production to increase profits. The charter was
finally revoked in 1624 and Virginia became a Crown colony, largely as a result of the Indian Massacre of 1622."

History of Oysterhaven Coast Guard - by Eileen McGough, et al:
"In the 13th century, when the Anglo-Norman Lords began to take possession of the hunting lands they coveted
along the coast, a priority must have been the protection of their shipping, from the depredations of pirates and
from shipwreck along the treacherous Southern coast. Over the following centuries the Daunts became the major
land-owning family and it is recorded in their history that the Crown granted them Trinity Charters, giving them
authority to place Buoys, Markers and Beacon Lights to guide shipping along the south coast, from the entrance
of Cork Harbour to the Rennies. James Daunt of Tracton Abbey was High Sheriff of County Cork in 1627 and he
was instrumental in placing Beacon Lights on the promontories, from the entrance of the harbour right up to the
King and Queen's Old Castles, near Daunt's Bridge in the city. Theirs was a family heavily involved in shipping;
they had two fleets of vessels, one named after animals, the other after sea birds. Their interest in keeping the
coast-watch was understandably of vital importance to them. During the late 1500's and the early 1600's, the
south coast was plagued by marauding pirates who had their headquarters in various ports along the coast, at
Leamcon, Crookhaven, Schull and Baltimore...
It was not piracy but shipwreck which doomed one ship of the Daunt fleet, The White Horse, captained by
Nicholas Daunt. She foundered on the rock at Robert's Cove, after which, some claim, that particularly dangerous
reef of rock became known as The Daunt Rock. The loss of this vessel and others, and the real threat of piracy,
spurred the Daunts to put in place a system of coastal watch and defence...
When in 1874 a lightship was finally stationed to mark the Daunt Rock it is of interest that their family's tradition
of naming ships after seabirds was continued. The Daunt Rock Lightship, the Puffin was the ill-fated vessel
which sank at her anchor, in sixteen fathoms, in a violent storm on October 8th, 1896, having been stationed to
mark the Daunt Rock only eight weeks previously. All eight crew members on board were lost. The picture on
page 15 features the wreck of the Puffin, beached at Ringaskiddy after she was raised by Ensors, a Cork firm of
Salvors.
The Guillemot was the lightship which replaced the ill-fated Puffin in 1896 and she was still at her station, on the
night of the census in 1901, with a crew of eight on board and four ashore. In a fierce south-easterly gale, in
February 1936, The Pelican dragged her anchor, and was in grave danger, but the crew were all saved in a famous
rescue by the Ballycotton Lifeboat. The Osprey was the last Daunt Lightship; it was replaced by the current
flashing buoy in August 1974."

"Sir
This morning Henry Coolishey sent me word that he was bound for Ireland with the first wind, & desired me to
send my letters forthwith; I have at present no great matter to write besides what I intimated by Gyles Clarke in
my last, which is a desire, if it may stand with your conveniences, that you would come over: it will be necessary
to bring some monyes with you: your friends do expect a prosecution of the proposed business, which cannot be
done till your return. My mother resolveth to be in Ireland speedily with her family. I pray let my Bookes be
brought over: I wish I could get that mony w'ch Chr. Benet oweth. Your stock of cattle at present will not yeild
the full value, by reason that fodder is very scarce, & the spring Backward. My unkle desireth you would send
Rich. Mervin 5 li to Dublin, where he is a prisoner, & he will allow it here. My cousin Ben. Baker is well in

king are agreed upon the Covenant-terms, some Parl. men are his authors; & that Gen: Cromwell, long since
voted to come over, is now earnestly desired to be back here within 3 weeks. My cousin Poyntz doth much
wonder she cannot heare from James Coolishey or his wife. There is a speech that Inchiquin's Quarters were
beaten up about Limmerick, & Col. Rand. Clayton taken prisoner, Inchiquin hardley escaping in his shirt. My
Lady Low is an earnest suitor to you, that you would procure her a Barrell of pickled Sampier, & some Scallop
Shells; Maureene Patrick did promise send her some shells. I find it will be necessary to hasten Will: Godwin

Letter F3/8:
"To my honour'd Father Thomas Daunt Esqr at Gortigrenane neare Corke in Ireland these present."
Dated: "Owlpen 27 Aug. 1650."
"Sir,
I was in good Hope to have seen you ere this in England; I have bene very careful to observe the purport of your
Letter; but since you are so slack in Comming over, I desire you would be pleased to give me instructions what to
doe, whether I should continue here, or goe into Ireland with Betty and George, and there to stay till you come
over: for as the case standeth, I doe not hold it for your profit to keepe House here, nor to leave things in this
Condition they now stand; therefore (if my advice might availe) I hold it most requisite for you to make one
journey more over, as I am assured you cannot be ignorant how much it concerneth you & us all, the Lord direct
you. As for Newes, I hinted in my last how a great Battaile happened betwixt Gen: Cromwell & the Scots, which
was true, only the Number of slain men is far short, viz about 300. The party was commanded by the Lord
Montgomery, & Col: Straughen; there designe was to kill Cromwell, but were prevented by a mistake. However
major Gen: Lambert was dangerously wounded. The Scottish party was repulsed with some Losse, Mountgomery
& Straughen being at first reported to be killed in the servise, but since we heare, both those commanders are
liveing.
About the 9th August instant, the Head of the Statue of King Charles on the Royal Exchange was cut off, & over
the Headless Trunk was written in great Gold Characters (in Latin) to this effect, The last Tyrant of Kings dyed in
the first yeare of the Liberty of England, on the 30. Jan. 1648. Since the Headless Body of King Charles was (as
some say) stolen away 16 Aug. at night, but it is supposed to be taken away by Authority. My Cousin Thorn
complaineth much of sad times at present, & worse in future, as he feareth. I have nothing els to write, onely the
mention of my duty to your self & my mother, with my respectfull Love to my Brothers Sisters, & all my friends,
I humbly remain
Yr most obedient sonne to his power

"The Big Bang theory says the universe began from a single point in an instant. How? Scientists think they
know, based on earlier work of alchemists. One in particular, Thomas Daunt VII believed that the structure of
matter could be changed. This belief holds to this day. The alchemists, with their theory of transmutation, took a
step in the right direction of scientific understanding."

From research conducted by Diana O. Daunt of Frederick, Maryland:
Thomas Digby Daunt married the third time to Mary (or Maria) Walsh. Deed No. 538486 of 1824 states that
Thomas Daunt was married to Maria Daunt otherwise Flynn. Deed No. 538167 of 1824 states that Helena was
dead and that Thomas Daunt had married Maria. Maria died before her husband, Thomas Daunt of Fahalea, in

further on in her Will that "Edward Walsh therein named now known by the name of Edward Walsh Daunt as
residuary legatee of the estate and effects of the above named Mary Daunt". In 1837, Thomas Daunt of Fahalea
died and the probate record (LDS Film No. 101036) showed that his effects were less than 1300 pounds and that
his executor and his legatee was Eliza Walsh Daunt, the wife of Edward Walsh Daunt of Glinny. In deeds of
October 1838 after Thomas had died, his son Dr. Thomas Achilles Daunt demised 500 acres at Glinny to Edward
Walsh Daunt, and Edward Walsh Daunt in turn gave up his rights to Fahalea. According to a deed of November
of 1838, Edward Walsh Daunt was deeply in debt and gave up Glinny for one year.

Irish Marriages 1771-1812: Thos. Daunt to Frances Daunt, of Newborough, in Cork - June 1779 - Index 375.
From research conducted by Diana O. Daunt of Frederick, Maryland:
Thomas Digby Daunt married the third time to Mary (or Maria) Walsh. Deed No. 538486 of 1824 states that
Thomas Daunt was married to Maria Daunt otherwise Flynn. Deed No. 538167 of 1824 states that Helena was
dead and that Thomas Daunt had married Maria. Maria died before her husband, Thomas Daunt of Fahalea, in
1836, and in her Will she left the entire residue of her property to her "beloved son Edward Walsh" and stated
further on in her Will that "Edward Walsh therein named now known by the name of Edward Walsh Daunt as
residuary legatee of the estate and effects of the above named Mary Daunt". In 1837, Thomas Daunt of Fahalea
died and the probate record (LDS Film No. 101036) showed that his effects were less than 1300 pounds and that
his executor and his legatee was Eliza Walsh Daunt, the wife of Edward Walsh Daunt of Glinny. In deeds of
40
October 1838 after Thomas had died, his son Dr. Thomas Achilles Daunt demised 500 acres at Glinny to Edward
Walsh Daunt, and Edward Walsh Daunt in turn gave up his rights to Fahalea. According to a deed of November
of 1838, Edward Walsh Daunt was deeply in debt and gave up Glinny for one year.

George Thomas Daunt took up land around Bolwarra on the Hunter River near Maitland. This land was flooded

was where he build a home which he called Heathburn Park and where his son, Thomas, and daughter-in-law,
Elizabeth, reared their 11 children.

From a work in progress on the history of the Quorrobolong area by Wendy Poile:
Daunt: Mine Hosts
If you walked into the Cricketer's Arms at Ellalong, the Traveller's Rest at Laguna, the Pier Hotel at Gosford or
the Royal Hotel at Cooranbong then there was a good chance the man behind the bar was a Daunt. This family
began when Achilles Digby Daunt married Margaret Duggan of Belgooley, Cork, in the nearby town of Kinsale
in 1835 before emigrating in 1837 on the "Lady NcNaughton". Emigrating with Achilles was his brother, George

Thomas Daunt and family, and they were joining their relative, Emanuel Hungerford at Maitland. The Daunts
came from a costal district known as "Daunt's Country" some 10-15 kilometres south of the city of Cork in
Ireland where several prominent families of this name lived. Among them were Achilles' parents, Dr. Thomas
Achilles Daunt and his wife Mary Coghlan of "Fahalea", Carrigaline.
After a few years in Maitland the Daunt brothers separated with George settling in Stroud and Achilles in
Quorrobolong. Achilles had 60 acres he named "Digby Grove", and he was the local poundkeeper. Margaret's
service to education is detailed in the Quorrobolong school section. She died at Quorrobolong on 2 June 1895
and was buried at Ellalong. Achilles retired to Maitland and died 3 July 1902 and was buried at Campbell's Hill.
Another Brother, Townsend William, arrived in 1860 and settled in Ellalong where he married Elizabeth Byrne in
1864. Townsend build and held the Publican's licence for the Cricketer's Arms Hotel, Ellalong in partnership
with Moses Jones until his death on 29 January 1874 from tuberculosis.
Achilles' first son Thomas Achilles Daunt was the Quorrobolong/Ellalong correspondent with the Maitland
Mercury for a number of years and took a prominent role in community affairs. He never married but he did have
a relationship with Anne Kerr which resulted in a son, Arthur William Daunt. It's believed Arthur was raised by
his Daunt grandparents as the Education Dept. believed Arthur to be Margaret's son. Arthur married Laura
Johnston, the new school teacher, on 9 September 1884, and they lived most of their lives in Quorrobolong.
The second son, John Hungerford Townshend Daunt, married Learina Jones on 8 February 1870. Learina's
parents, Moses Jones and Jane Hardcastle, had several dealings with the Daunt family in the hotel business in the
Wollombi and Ellalong districts. Moses ran the Wollombi Inn while John and Learina managed the Traveller's
Rest Hotel at Laguna during the 1870s, although the licence was in Achilles' name. John and Learina moved to
the Pier Hotel in Gosford about 1877. They had four children before John's death in 1884.
George Decourcy Knight Daunt was third in the family. He was a storekeeper in Cessnock when he married Eliza
Bluford, daughter of John Bluford, a publican, and Margaret Thompson, in the Quorrobolong schoolhouse on 21
April 1875. Eliza had been working as a school teacher in Quorrobolong, presumably assisting her mother-inlaw,
Margaret. George took over the Cricketer's Arms at Ellalong in 1889. They had seven children and stayed
in Ellalong.
Like most of his brothers, Henry Digby Daunt spent part of his career as a publican; in this case at the Royal
Hotel, Cooranbong in the 1880s. Before that he had been the chief drover for Duncan MacKay. He married
Helen Emmaline Fox, a school teacher and daughter of Thomas Fox and Sophia Cooper Lound, and settled in
Maitland. Henry also worked as a road and bridge contractor and spent almost 20 years as the gardener for West
Maitland Council. Amongst their five children was Herbert, a dentist in Cessnock for many years.
Mary Letitia, the first daughter, married Millfield grazier, Alexander Crothers, on 3 May 1873. Alexander was a
widower, having married in 1857 to Louisa Mary Chick. His father, Thomas Crothers, was an estate manager at
Millfield and his mother was Ann Hutchinson. The Crothers had six children. The youngest in Achilles' family
was Annie Townsend Daunt who married James Smith in 1878. They lived at Muswellbrook and had seven
children.

National Archives (PRO-Kew): ADM 139/897, CS Numbers 9601B-9700B: No. 197, Continuous
Service Engagement No. 9634, Series B. Frederick George Daunt, born Innishannon, Cork, on 4 July
1853, Height 5-2, Complexion swarthy, Hair black, Eyes blue, Marks none, volunteered on board the
HMS Mersey on 4 July 1869 at Queenstown. He was rated as a boy 2nd class with a 10-year
engagement to begin on 4 July 1871. A consent form was signed by his father, William H. Daunt, on 29
79
June 1869.
He was training on board the HMS Impregnable at Devonport, England, to become a gunner seaman
according to a letter addressed to his mother and dated November 19, 1869.
1871 Census of England (taken on the night of 2 April 1871): Fred G. Daunt, age 17, born in Ireland,
Boy 1C, Royal Navy, on board the vessel "Bristol" at Funchal Bay, Madeira.
HMS Bristol, launched in 1861, was a screw frigate of 4,000 tons and the first to be powered by steam as
well as sail. That meant two crews - topmen to man the sails, and engineers and stokers to look after the
engines, a total of 600 men. She spent most of her life as a training ship for cadets and was sold in 1883.
On the night of the census of 2 April 1871 the Bristol was at Funchal Bay, Madeira. According to the
census records there were 647 men and boys on board including 100 cadets and midshipmen. The cadets
and midshipmen were junior officers. The cadets were either 14 or 15 years old while the midshipmen
were 15 or 16. In the matter of ages this system for junior officers was similar to that of boys second
class and boys first class in the enlisted ranks. There were naval instructors on board including a French
language teacher. The ship also had a band, no doubt for departure and arrival ceremonies; several of the
musicians were listed as "born in Italy". The names of several midshipmen began with "The Hon.",
therefore they were sons of the nobility.
The Times of London, May 15, 1871: "The subjoined notice was issued at the Admiralty on Saturday: --
By despatches dated April 20 it appears the Bristol, owing to the prevalence of yellow fever at
Pernambuco and at Bahia will proceed direct to Rio de Janeiro from St. Vincent without touching at
either of the above mentioned places".
St. Vincent was located in the Cape Verdes in the latitude where ships crossed the North Atlantic.
The Times of London, August 8, 1871: "Her Majesty's training-ship Bristol arrived here in Simon's Bay
on the 5th of July, from England, with 100 midshipmen on board."
Simon's Bay is at the Cape of Good Hope. After Rio de Janeiro the ship must have traveled further south
to the mouth of the Rio Platte in the latitude where ships crossed the South Atlantic.
The Times of London, August 21, 1871: According to the Cape Mails of July 20, 1871 "Her Majesty's
ships African, Bristol, Seringapatam, and Rattlesnake were in Simon's Bay."
The Times of London, September 11, 1871: "The Bristol left Simon's Bay on the 24 of July, arrived at
St. Helena on the 4th of August, and left on the 9th for Ascension, en route for England."
The journals of the Bristol's surgeon, Abraham Rattray, are available at the PRO-Kew: "Notes on Cadets'
Seagoing Training Ship", 1871. Also "Notes on Issue and Cooking of Preserved Meat", 1871. And from
the assistant surgeon, M. Allen: "Nature and Treatment of Cholera", 1871.

to her anchorage on the 28th. On the day the Liffey left Montevideo Senor Ellauri was elected President

The Times of London, August 16, 1873: The Mails. The Royal Mail Company's steamship Boyne,
Captain F. Reeks, arrived at Southampton at 3 p.m. yesterday, with mails of the following dates: --
Buenos Ayres, July 15; Montevideo, 16th; Rio Janeiro, 24th; Bahia, 27th; Pernambuco, 29th; St. Vincent

Pylades at Montevideo, the Ready and the Rocket at Rio Janeiro, and the Challenger at St. Vincent (Cape
Verdes). The United States war steamers Lancaster and Richmond were at Rio de Janeiro, and the
Prussian man-of-war Albatross at Bahia."
The Times of London, December 9, 1873: Naval and Military Intelligence: "...The Clio, from Australia,
the Rocket, from the East Indies, and the Pylades, from the South-east Coast of America, are also hourly
expected at Sheerness." (This report of the Rocket as coming from the East Indies must be in error - see
The Times of January 3, 1874.)
The Times of London, January 3, 1874: Naval and Military Intelligence: "...The armament, &c., of the
Rocket, 4, composite gun-vessel, recently arrived home at Sheerness from the south-east coast of
America, is now being returned to the Chatham gun-wharf, preparatory to the ship being paid out at
Sheerness in the course of a few days."
Following his service in the Royal Navy Frederick joined the Merchant Navy. There is a certificate for
his registration in the "Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Royal Benevolent Society" for the year
1883. Later, and most likely before 1890, he was lost at sea.

Alvara Lofthouse Slater is evidently related to a person of the same name. At first it was thought that the
following individual was his son by a previous marriage. It was later discovered that Dr. Alvara Lofthouse Slater,
M.D. was the son of Benjamin Lord Slater, solicitor, of Gray's-inn and Strand, London:

Dr. Alvara Lofthouse Slater, M.D., born 29 August 1823 in London, England. According to Dr. Slater's obituary
he was the son of a solicitor. Following the completion of medical studies at the University of Edinburgh he took
a tour of China. He married Sarah Drake 28 March 1857 at Saint Clement Danes, Westminster, London, England
(IGI / British Isles, Batch No. M041601, Source Call No. 0574463 Film). By January 1860 Dr. Slater was
working as the resident surgeon of Beechworth Hospital and at Parkinson's Great Western Dispensary,
Lamplough, Victoria, Australia. The Lamplough Gold Rush of 1859-1860 had brought as many as 12,000 people
to this area. Dr. Slater's daughter, Mary Helen, died at Lamplough at the age of 7 months. In 1861 he was
appointed Public Vaccinator at Mountain Creek, Kiandra, NSW, a Territorial Magistrate at Moonambel, and the
First Chairman of the District Road Board, Moonambel. He died 10 January 1870 at the age of 48. There were
five hundred people in the funeral procession, and the Masonic Rights were observed. (Most of this information
has been extracted from the research notes of Denis Strangeman for his article "A Forgotten Victorian Gold Rush:

The Essex Standard, West Suffolk Gazette and Eastern - Friday, March 26, 1875: "Early on Saturday morning a
terrible crime was committed at Fordham, near Colchester. The details of the sad affair will be gathered from the
evidence taken at the inquest, and which is reported fully below, but we may briefly state the facts, as follows:-
The victims are Solomon Johnson, labourer, aged 81, and Susannah Johnson, his wife, aged 79, and the murderer,
Thomas Johnson, aged 38, is their own son. The scene of the tragedy is a treble-tenement cottage, on an off-farm
held by Mr. R. Knight, and situated in a lonely spot, some four hundred yards from the high road, and a
considerable distance from any other habitation. The centre tenement was occupied by the Johnsons, the other
portions by a woman named Mills and by four orphan children, whose mother lay dead in the house. Some time
ago, the parricide exhibited symptoms of mental derangement and became in consequence, an inmate of the
Lexden and Winstree Union, but he so far recovered as to be allowed to go to the house of his parents, which he
again left, only a few days before the tragedy, to pay a visit to some friends at Colchester. On Friday night last,
however, he returned to the cottage, but nothing occurred to excite attention till about seven o'clock next morning,
91
when Mrs. Mills heard him threatening to kill his parents. Immediately afterwards the mother rushed in, and,
from what she said, Mrs. Mills sent one of the children for help. The mother then returned to the house, but very
shortly afterwards the two deceased were driven out of their house by Johnson, who struck them about the head
with a poker and shovel. The poor old man was killed on the spot, and his wife received such injuries that she
died very shortly afterwards. Johnson then proceeded to threaten Mrs. Mills and the children in the adjoining
house, going so far as to break the window; but, finding the doors locked against him, he was proceeding towards
the village when he was pursued and overpowered, and ultimately given into custody."
Full transcripts of the Examination of the Prisoner before the Magistrates and the Coroner's Enquiry were printed
in the newspaper and included several statements by Police Superintendent Thomas Daunt who held custody of
the prisoner. Following a hearing of the Essex Assize Court Thomas Johnson was sent to the Broadmoor
Criminal Lunatic Asylum.

a decorator, of 80, Gloucester-street, Pimlico, was charged on remand with stealing a handbag containing
dress material and provisions, the property of Mrs. Sarah Cubberley. He was further charged with
stealing an umbrella belonging to Miss Mary Daunt, living at Newcastle-on-Tyne. The prisoner last
week pleaded guilty to the first charge. Mrs. Cubberley visited Westminster Abbey with a friend and
noticed the prisoner waiting about. Mistaking him for a verger, she asked him if he would take charge of
her bag. He replied in the affirmative, but no sooner had he got possession of the bag than he hurriedly
left the Abbey. A plain clothes officer named Ryan pursued him to Birdcage-walk, and there caught him
with the bag in his possession. The officer subsequently searched his lodgings in Pimlico, and
discovered a large quantity of property believed to be stolen from visitors to the Abbey. Several
umbrellas, portmanteaus, &c., were produced in court, and Mrs. Sophia Newton, living in Hazlitt-road,
West Kensington, identified an umbrella which had been stolen in the Abbey from her friend Miss
Daunt. The prisoner pleaded "Guilty", and was sentenced to six months' hard labour.

From notes by Jack Daunt of Cumeen Hill, Carrigaline:
"This is an account of the duel between two men, next door neighbours and cousins, the last fatal duel in Munster.
The matter was a trivial dispute over a cow between Captain Joseph Daunt and a neighbour. Captain Daunt took
the case to court and lost. The magistrate was Daniel Conner, his cousin, who entered the legal profession as
many of his family had done before him. A few days after that brief exchange, on Tuesday May 23rd, 1826
matters came to a head when both men met at the home of Rev. Ambrose Hickey at Murragh to settle their
differences, a duel was fixed upon as the only method of saving honour. William Atkin acted as second for
Captain Daunt and Bernard Beamish for Daniel Connor. It was decided to meet outside the county at Rhincrew,
Co. Waterford, near Youghal, where Captain Daunt had many supporters. Consequently on the morning of the
duel, May 31st, 1826, a large crowd gathered at the field to witness the ghastly event. Two or three shots were
fired from their pistols and missed, the next shot was fired by Daniel Connor and struck Captain Daunt in the
head, killing him instantly. Daniel Connor fled to France, but remained there only a few months, returning to
stand trial for murder in May 1827. The trial occupied the court the entire day, the jury not retiring until seven
o'clock, after an absence of ten minutes they returned a verdict of not guilty on Daniel Connor."
