    Notes:

    William Jervois of the Albany museum wrote as follows about Samuel Liversage:
    I have browsed through our Liversage file and can only offer the sad news that, although most of Samuel (snr)'s children are quite well documented, there is nothing to add to Samuel (jnr), other than to say that Glen Linden is up in the Winterberg, quite a long way to the north of here. From there, at a fairly early date, Samuel (snr) migrated to Natal and settled near Howick, where he and his second wife died and are buried on the farm presently called "Benvie", but which was then called Nooitgedaght", in the Kaarkloof. Samuel (snr) was accompanied by most of his children, with the apparent exception of Samuel (jnr). I get the feeling that there may have been friction between the two!

    Samuel married Wilhelmina Magdalena van Niekerk 23 Jun 1851, Pietermaritzburg, Natal. Wilhelmina (daughter of Jacobus Gustavus van Niekerk and Johanna Helena Josina S. Pieterse) was born 30 Nov 1832, Cradock, Eastern Cape, South Africa ; died 7 May 1919, "Rietfontein No. 110", Heidelberg district, Transvaal. [Group Sheet]
