DARE -- JULIUS.

I[1] now come to my mother’s (Phocion Dare’s wife a sister to Dr. Julius) connections. She was the daughter of the late William Julius[2] a considerable landed proprietor in the island of St. Kitts, his brother John Julius[3] was then the governor of the said island, and my mother’s uncle Etheridge[4] was the attorney general.

1. My grandfather Julius[5] was considered one of the proudest and most extravagant men in England -- he never drove out without his four horses and outriders, he lived far beyond his income which was £30,000 pounds per annum. He married an equally proud Welsh lady a Miss. Edwards[6]. It was not till after we left dear Brecon[7] that I discovered that my grandmother Ms. Edwards was first cousin of the late Sir Charles Morgan of Tredegar Park[8], consequently she would be first cousin once removed to the present Lord Tredegar you remember him as Sir Charles Morgan, since then he has been raised to the peerage. My mother's uncle

P1000799

the late William Etheridge before alluded to married Lady Isabella Erskine[9], sister to the late Lord Erskine, and resided at Osborne[10], the residence of her present Majesty.

I now come to my mother's first cousin Mrs. Nesbit[11]. This lady resided at Nevis where the late Lord Nelson[12], after making my mother Louise Carolyn Julius[13] an offer and receiving a refusal, married her. My mother acting as one of the bridesmaids. King William 4^th (then Duke of Clarence who with the fleet was anchored at Nevis) gave the bride away.

There is a monument to the memory of our Uncle William Julius[14] erected in Westminster Abbey “near this place life interred the body of Capt. William Julius late commander of his Majesty’s  ship Colechester who departed this life the third of October 1698. Age 33 years” so you see dear George though our ancestors made ducks and drakes with their money, we have plenty of good blood running through our veins.

Extract from letter to a ALJ from her cousin Lizzy Arbuthnot née Ball

The story of your mother as I used to hear it is as follows.

When quite young she was engaged to a Capt. Nicholson at Grahamstown[25], on Sir Harry Smith's staff, and had to stay on at Mrs. Hockley's school, where her sisters were, as parlour boarders to complete her education.

Then he went to India -- a Mr. Blaine was desperately in love with her, but had to fight between his love and his snobbery. He used to offer to post her letters and used to abstract those that came for her from India, so neither of the lovers heard from each other, [?] she did [?]. After a time our grandparents[26] came to Cape Town and had a lovely house at Newlands[27] where granny[28] took a few Indian people as borders when they were at The Cape for health. Your father arrived in command of a fine ship but very ill with dysentery, and had to be left at the hotel too ill to go on. Uncle S. (Sedgewick)[29] met him at the hotel and chummed and when your father was fit to move brought him to Newlands and both stayed with granny and fell in love. It was arranged that

P1000805

the sisters should be married the same as Aunt Sedgewick’s[30] 17th birthday 31st of May and your father and mother sailing as passengers with uncle Sedgewick so the two sister brides were together.

On the way they fell in with a derelict, and your father said he could navigate her to the port if he had crew and Uncle Sedgewick gave him one. He took the ship to Ireland and was much feted by owners and got a large sum of money as salvage which of course had to be shared with Uncle Sedgewick’s owners.

Your father, Uncle Sedgewick, my father were all midshipman in the old East Indies Company service until it was abandoned. Each had a pension of £11 a year, which the company converted for a lump sum, they did away with all pensions under £100 a year. My father then entered the mail services and finding was chief officer in the P.O. fleet, but a family connection being a large ship owner in Waterford (Nicholson of Portland) offered him command for his ship the Currogham and he was tempted and foolishly chucked his good billet. Uncle Dare and Sedgewick also got command of first class ships. Mr. Blaine had been playing fast and loose

letter with your mother, and [?] her against Capt. Nicholson and one night he was dining at a [?]

P1000806

[?] someone said “Why Blaine look here this is surely your love”. He read out the notice of the marriage of your mother. Mr. Blaine fainted and soon after wrote to her a confession and sent all the letters he had got hold of. Lady Smith took them to India and asked for your mother’s back. He said no, she has been faithless to me, but I never will be to her. I believe he was the same man whom she met going back to the Cape after taking Aunt Lydia home and got engaged to, but his brother persuaded him she was too old and had too many children and it was broken off this was about 1869. You very nearly had a rich stepfather, he is dead now. She had a beautiful oil painting of Capt. Nicholson but in your father's last illness he got peevish a fraction and persuaded her to burn it. When you were all at B. Terrace[31] upper Clapton when he died. I remember the news of his death, and you all arriving in the Wanata[32] & the baby brother being born dead & then you all went to Singapore in that awful ship Elizabeth Martin[33], when the crew mutinied and put the captain in irons. You had a cross

English nurse called Carolyn and she brought the men to reason.

I am [heard?] seen your mother was married at Rhondabush, our grandparents and many of the family are buried at Rhondabush. Did you ever hear your mother had such a gentle nature, her name in her family was “Sarah the peacemaker”.
