• Notes

  He was a member of Gush's division of Sephton's Party of 1820 settlers and was granted land in Salem, although he seems to have continued his trade of tailor soon after his arrival, and moved to Grahamstown for this purpose. Although he spelt his surname as "Muire", most of the following generation changed to the present spelling.- William Jervois Ref: Ray Pitt ID 200
