259	One of John Charles Molteno’s sons. Brilliant intellectually and a good sportsman, he was one of John Charles’ sons who was sent to Cambridge, where he studied Law. It was while he was there that he met his wife, Clare Holland Pryor. They got m married shortly after his return to the Cape, but it did not turn out to be a happy relationship for either of them. Instead James threw his energies into politics. He was elected to the Cape Parliament in the 1890s and remained an MP for nearly quarter of a century. He made his name politically when he broke with the aggressively imperialist politics of Cecil John Rhodes. This led him to become prominent in the Afrikaner Bond, and at one point its parliamentary leader temporarily. James opposed the Boer War, and spent a couple of years during it travelling around the remoter reaches of the Cape Colony defending in the courts and before courts martial Boer ‘Rebels’ – ie Dutch farmers in the Cape who allegedly gave assistance to their relatives and fellow Dutch-speakers living across the Orange River in the Boer Republics. After the War ended in 1902, James was elected Speaker of the Cape legislature. When the Union of South Africa was formed in 1910, he was elected the first Speaker of the Union Parliament. He wrote in retirement two volumes of reminiscences, one of which is available on-line.	Molteno, James Tennant Sir (I942)
260	One of John Charles Molteno’s younger sons. He was sent off from the Cape to England in 1885 at the age of 13 to train as a Royal Navy officer. He had a distinguished career in the Navy, fought in 1916 in the Battle of Jutland (the only engagement during World War 1 between the German Imperial Navy and the Royal Navy), and retired as a Vice-Admiral in 1922. He and his wife, Ethel Robertson, had one daughter, Viola Molteno; Barkly also adopted Ethel’s son, Malcolm.	Molteno, Vice-Admiral Vincent Barkly C.B.,R.N. (I98)

265	Personal life and origin Faure was the eleventh and last child of Jacobus Christiaan Faure and Aletta Hendrina (born Blanckenberg). Four of their children died young. Their second child and first son were dr. Abraham Faure, who was a teacher of the Dutch Reformed Church Cape Town for 45 years. The latter linked his youngest brother on January 12, 1835 at Wynberg to Anna Wilhelmina Cambier (whose mother was also a Blanckenberg). Eight children were born from marriage: Wilhelmina Hendrina (born 1835), Jacobus Christiaan (1837), Aletta Hendrina (1839), Jan Gijsbertus Reijnier Cambier (1841), Philibert Carel Gerard (1844), Maria Cornelia (1845), Abraham Iodocus Heringa (1847) and Philip Carel Dirk (1849). Abraham and Philip Eduard's grandfather, Abraham, was the son of the ancestor of the family in South Africa. He was born on 17 August 1717 and died on 22 July 1792 in Stellenbosch. From his marriage to Anna Maria Wium (September 30, 1731 to 1811, Philip Eduard's birth year), seven children were born, of which Abraham and Philip Eduard's father, Jacobus Christiaan, was sixth. Faures' ancestor, Antoine Alexandre, was born in Orange on 2 February 1685 and died in 1736 in Stellenbosch. He fled to Prussia in 1703 because of his persecution because his grandfather Phillipe accepted the Reformed faith. From Prussia he settled in the Cape. His wife and the father-in-law of the Faures were Rachel de Villiers (1694 to 1773). They had seven children, of which Abraham sr. was the oldest.	Faure, Dr. Philip Eduard (I909)

277	Second son of John Molteno and Caroline Bower. Frank went to sea, and landed up in the Sandwich Islands (now Hawaii), then still an independent group of remote island chieftaincies in the Pacific. There he settled and became a whaling captain in the northern Pacific Ocean. By all accounts he was a most attractive personality. But because of the huge distances involved and the extreme slowness of travel in the age of sail, very little contact, even by letter, was kept up between him and the rest of his family in London and at the Cape. Frank married an indigenous Hawaiian, Kahua. From them, a line of part Hawaiian, part European Moltenos is descended. Unlike his elder brother, John Charles Molteno, Frank remained a Roman Catholic and his tombstone in a Catholic graveyard In Hawaii can be seen to this day.	Molteno, Charles Frank (I1752)

282	Son of George Anthony Molteno and Mary Lewis. John married Caroline Bower. He did not go into his father’s printselling business but instead, worked at Somerset House in London, where he became Assistant Keeper of Legacy Duty. John and Caroline’s children included John Charles, Frank, Nancy, Frederick James, and Alicia. When John got seriously ill at the young age of 39, he was distraught at being able to leave virtually nothing to this widow in his will, and the family became hard u up on his death. John Charles was pulled out of school and got one or two nondescript jobs in the City. Facing such dead ends, four of the children (John, Frank, Fred and Alicia) emigrated as soon as they could – to the Cape Colony, Hawaii, and Victoria and New South Wales in Australia. Their mother, Caroline, was left with only one daughter, Nancy, still living with her. When Nancy married Mr Bingle, she moved from Peckham across London to the southwest of London where her husband ran a small college in Richmond.	Molteno, John (I165)

296	The eldest of John Charles Molteno’s children. When her mother, Elizabeth Maria Jarvis, died in 1874, Betty took responsibility for bringing up several of her younger brothers. Only when she was in her mid thirties, did she begin teaching. During the 1890s, she was headmistress of The Collegiate School for Girls in Port Elizabeth, which is where she met her lifelong partner, Alice Greene. Betty is perhaps the most remarkable of John Charles’s children. She took up many causes, including opposition to Britain’s war against the Boer Republics. She was active in support of the rights of Indian South Africans (she was a friend of Gandhi and spoke at many of his public meetings). She also supported Black South Africans’ early struggles over land and political rights, and lived for a time in a cottage built for her at the Ohlange Institute (next door to Gandhi’s Phoenix Settlement) which was founded by John Dube, first President General of the African National Congress. She was a particular friend of Sol Plaatje. Betty was also a feminist and demanded the franchise for women.	Molteno, Elizabeth Maria (I371)
297	The eldest son of George Anthony Molteno. Anthony took over the family printselling business in Pall Mall. For many years he prospered, but eventually he went bankrupt towards the end of his life. This marked the end of over half a century of MMolteno art dealing in London. A devoted Roman Catholic, Anthony was executor of his father’s will. He married Mary Mylius. They had eight children. Only two of these offspring married and had children – Mary Molteno, who married Charles Parker, agent to the Duke of Bedford; and William ‘Frederick’ Molteno, who married Letitia Jones. The latter’s descendants are on the Family Tree, but Charles and Mary Parker’s have not yet been traced genealogically.	Molteno, James Anthony (I3405)
