| 153 | Caroline sold the lease of 11 Bedford Square in 1849 and resided at Aldenham House 1846-50. In 1843-6 she built at Clifton Hampden, where her brother in law Joseph Gibbs was Perpetual Curate, a new parsonage to take the place of the old one which Anne Noyes gave in 1832. By a re-exchange in 1905 the former is now the Manor House and the latter has since been demolised. She also completely restored the church of St. Michael of All Angels there, mainly with money set aside by her husband when he inherited the property, but with contributions added by herself, and her son Henry. G Gilbert Scott was her architect in both cases. The Living was augmented under her Will. See article on Clifton Hampden in the book 'Antony & Dorothea Gibbs' by J.A. Gibbs pp. 447-50. For her 'Royal Descent' see entry for her father, Rev. Charles Crawley. For note of portraits of her see the book 'Antony & Dorothea Gibbs' by J.A. Gibbs p. 435, to which add that a copy was in possession of Lord Cullen (in 1932) of Sir William Ross's miniature, done by Ross's daughter under her father's supervision.

| 157 | Charles Dominic Molteno, who has been mentioned as one of the three children in the Shelley miniature, was the younger brother of John and the uncle whose family seems to have maintained contact with Sir John Charles Molteno [in the Cape Colonyny] and his children over the years. The name of Uncle Charles occurs in this volume from time to time. Born in 1789, he married Mrs. Margaret Scott Glass (1786-1873) in 1851(?). She was the widow of the Rev. Lawrence Glass of Aberdeen, Scotland, by whom she had two daughters, Margaret Scott Glass (died 8 October 1888) and Catherine Glass (died 17 April 1901, aged 90 years). Mrs. Glass owned the property of Newton in Perthshire. There Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Molteno lived for many years. Charles Dominic was just becoming known in the literary world when he was involved in a dispute with Lockhart, Sir Walter Scott's son-in-law, concerning the merits of Keats's poetry. The result was a duel which ended tragically in his death (1821). (Letters of Dr. John Brown, edited by his son, D.W. Forest.) | Molteno, Charles Dominic (I3412)

| 180 | Dr. Philip Eduard Faure (February 1, 1811, Stellenbosch - December 7, 1882) was the first minister of the Dutch Reformed Church Wynberg, where he worked for 48 years, four times moderator of the Dutch Reformed Church's Cape Synod and six times actuator or assessor of the same body. Wynberg was his only congregation. Faure left in 1828 after Utrecht for theological study. On December 7, 1834, he was confirmed as Wynberg's first teacher and served the congregation until his death on December 7, 1882. It was his eldest brother, Dr. Abraham Faure, who founded the congregation five years earlier on September 20, 1829, when he led the first religious practice on the farm De Onder Schuur, later the state president's home Westbrooke (currently Genadendal). The Church gives him and dr. William Robertson commissioned in 1848 to visit the Voortrekkers in the Transgariep and to strengthen them spiritually. The two church leaders lie about 3,000 miles (4,800 km). On November 25, 1848, they founded the congregation of Smithfield as the third congregation in the later Free State, and the congregation in Bloemfontein continued to emerge the same year. The successful journey has done much to improve the tense relationship between the Voortrekkers and the Mother Church in the Cape Colony. The Free State town of Fauresmith, where the NG congregation Fauresmith was also founded in 1848, was named after Faure and Governor Sir Harry Smith when it was founded in 1850. From 1850 on, Faure appeared as editor of the annual Church Almanac. He also founded the Theological Seminary in Stellenbosch in 1859. At Wynberg he strives for the spiritual processing and education of the colored population. This leads to the establishment of a separate missionary congregation, which merged with the Wynberg congregation in 2008. Faure has held numerous leadership positions in the church thanks to his ingenuity, versatility and business acumen. His sermons, speeches and writings have also been published. He was the first moderator of the Cape Synod in 1847, when he was only 36 years old. In 1857, 1863 and 1873 he held this post again. | Faure, Dr. Philip Eduard (I909)

| 191 | Eldest son of John Charles Molteno. At a very young age, Charlie became his father, Sir John Charles Molteno’s, secretary. In this role, he not only assisted him in his political duties as Prime Minister of the Cape Colony, but also increasinglgly looked after his diverse business interests. Following his father’s death in 1886, Charlie managed the main family farm at Nelspoort for many years in association with his cousin, H. A. Jackson. He decided to enter politics on his own account in 1894 and was elected to the Tembuland constituency in the Transkei. He continued as an M.P., with one short break, up to the formation of the Union of South Africa in 1910. He married in 1897 an American, Lucy Mitchell, whose family had close South African connections, and he and Lucy settled into their new home of Sandown in Rondebosch, about four miles from the centre of Cape Town, in 1899. They lived there for the rest of their lives together. Charlie died of pneumonia following a routine operation in 1924. His political contributions included opposition to the Boer War, and a growing recognition of the overriding importance of African South Africans playing a full role in Cape politics. On his death, Ons Land described him as ‘a man of firm principles and of earnest convictions. He was a man of character and a strong personality.’ | Molteno, John Charles (I695)

Married three times. His first wife, Maria Hewitson, died tragically in childbirth in 1845. By his second wife, Elizabeth Maria Jarvis, John Molteno had ten children who survived infancy and from whom the majority of Moltenos today trace their descent – Betty, Caroline, Maria, Charlie, Percy, Frank, James, Victor, Wallace and Barkly. Following the death of Elizabeth Maria, John Charles married ‘Minnie’ Blenkins; they had four children – Minnie, Ted, Clifford and Harry. None of these ever married or had children.
