- Summary
- "This 600 plus paged book, meticulously researched by Rob Smith, tells the story of the Nottinghamshire 1820 Settlers. The two parties from Nottinghamshire were representative of typical settlers, suffering many communal trials and tribulations, and participating in outstanding achievements. Ultimately, they were successful in their new home, a land of immense opportunity. The four parties with Nottinghamshire participants were Whiteʹs, Damantʹs, Caltonʹs, and Sephtonʹs. The other principal family in the party with the Damants was the Atherstones with their strong ties to Nottinghamshire. It is appropriate to consider the Damants from Norfolk and the Atherstones from Nottingham as one extended family at the head of the only emigration party assembled in Norfolk. Dr John Atherstone was born in Nottingham in 1791, qualified as a doctor at Guyʹs Middlesex Hospital, and married Elizabeth Damant"--Back cover.
