Hello everyone.
I am a descendant of General John CADWALADER through the marriage of
Frances (his daughter) to David ERSKINE (2nd Baron ERSKINE). Frances and
David had a son - Lieutenant Colonel the Honourable David ERSKINE, later
Colonial Secretary of Natal, South Africa, whose first marriage was to
Anne Maria SPODE (c.1823-3.11.1860) Anne was the daughter of Josiah
SPODE, (d. 1858) and the great-grand-daughter of Josiah SPODE
(1754-1827) of Stoke-on-Trent, the famous manufacturer of china. Anne
and David had six children, the eldest of which was Frances Cadwalader
ERSKINE who was born at Campbell Town, Tasmania in Nov. 1840, Her names
were those of her paternal grandmother. She married Sir Michael Henry
GALLWEY KCMG,QC who later became the Attorney General of Natal. This
pair are my great great Grandparents.
I am interested in corresponding with anyone who has researched the line
of Frances CADWALADER or anyone else who is interested.
Best regards,
Steve Richmond
