========================================================================== ===========
Although not named in his father's will (Doc300) proved in 1810, a residue is left to be shared equally "for the benefit of the rest of my sons and daughters". If he has survived until this time, no doubt she received something if still in touch with his family.

D.P.F. was,in the 1820's and 30's, ranked 2nd in importance to the
Civil Commissioners then stationed at Uitenhage.
In 1827 he was appointed by Downing Street to dual posts of
collection of Customs and Port Captain. His original staff
consisted of one man who served as a clerk cum tide waiter and his
office was a small shed . He had little maritime experience and had
many problems with the vagaries of the sea and the mariners! In
1828 he issued the first shipping instructions to visiting sea
captains to control smuggling. He continued this job for some 15
years. It would seem that his wife predeceased him and that they
had no children. Francis came from Walden in Essex and was one of
the original 1820 settlers destined for Clanwilliam but realising
that the area had no future he headed a party on the "East Indian
to the Zuurveld and in 1823 was one of the party of men who
returned to England to put the case of the disillusioned Settlers
before the authorities.

David Polley Francis - Information from a book about the history of Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa
David Polley Francis born Leytonstone Essex 1784, died 14th Sept 1854, married Anna.
Francis was leader of a group of Parkers Party of 1820 settlers and was sent to Clan William. He returned to England in 1822, and then applied for a post in Customs at the Cape. He was appointed Port Captain and Collector of Customs in Port Elizabeth (the first one) 31st Jan 1828. He was a JP, member of the School Commission in 1834. In 1832 he chaired the meeting re the provision of a jetty.
He build a fine house 'Francis Place' on land in Bird/Cryler street, bought from N. Hilge in 1833. This was later owned by George Kempt and his brother in law John Patterson. It was late part of the Port Elizabeth club and was demolished for the present building.
Notes. Whilst we were in PE we visited the graveyard, but since a main road has been extended I wonder if the row with his grave has been moved. The library was busy so we were unable to talk to the person who might have known (will try next time) We also saw the site of the PE Club, surrounded by other up market Victorian houses, in a very select area well above the port with wide streets and trees.
Francis, David Polley
1784 - 1854. Was living at 13 Assembley Row, Laytonstone, Essex when he made application to become a settler. He joined forces with Dr Baruk, but who withdrew later. Francis then led his own group of evelen men and their families from England, Under the overall leadership of Parker. From Clanwilliam, he led a party of six men and their families to the Zuurveld and located near Seven Fountains. He left his location in mid 1822 and by 1823 had temporily returned to England. On his return to the Cape, he was appointed port Captain and collector of cutoms at Port Elizabeth. Proposed the toast ' to the memory of Jan van Riebeeck' at a dinner to mark the commencemnt of the twenty-fifth year ater the arrival at the Cape of the settlers.
Port Elizabeth Advertiser has been favoured with a copy of the Manchester Guardian dated: 5 May 1821, containing extracts of letters written by one of the early settlers of Albany, which no doubt, our readers will peruse with interest, and may recollect the writer.
The first is undated, but must have been written very shortly after the arrival in this country. It is headed: Frogmore, near Assagya Bush, and is addressed to Mrs. Blackburns, Laytenstone, Essex.
"This is, I think, the most miserable country in the world, for it produces nothing without manure and the gardens which we have are made are all burnt up before they come to any perfection. The whole of the wheat harvest has totally failed here and in every part of the country; indeed the miseries of the unhappy settlers are beyond anything I can express. Flour is not to be purchased at any price, except that served out by Government, and that is most execrable stuff; there is the bread bran and the whole grains of wheat, with a mixture of peas and Indian corn. But all this I do not consider for myself, as I do not eat more than would satisfy and infant. I have been very ill for some weeks and my spirits are dreadfully depressed; I hope time will reconcile me to my situation. If I had society I would endeavour to make myself easy, but there is not an English settler nearer than 7 miles, and I know none of them but Mr. Lathon, who returned from ClanWilliam with many others, chiefly Irish; he has been our frequent visitor, but he is as miserable as myself and detest this country as much as I do. When I reflect that it was on this day twelvemonth I parted from you, my heart is like to bread! Why did I ever leave you, my poor mother and my dear Patty? Never shall I see you and my poor mother again; yet the thought of staying in this miserable solitude is dreadful - debarred from all social intercourse - not one female friend to converse with - no doctor within 50 miles - no clergyman or church in the whole country - no post office nearer than Grahamstown which is a wretched place and the road to it terrific. I am more wretched than I can describe; but what are my miseries compared to the miseries of those that went to ClanWilliam; they are absolutely starving and the Government will do nothing for them because they would not come up here. I do not think anyone will stop a year in this wretched country that can help it, many have already left it and others are going. What will be then end of it God only knows, but I dread the worst. There is little short of a famine now; great numbers have nothing to eat but mutton; they can get neither bread nor vegetables and wine and spirits are all out of price. Not an ounce of tea and sugar is thee to be got at Grahamstown for "love or money" except now and then, and everything has to be brought from Capetown and the Conveyance is very uncertain. We have indeed been miserably deceived both as to the soil and climate. Oh, if anything would but turn up, that I might return to England, I would not care if I lived on bread and water for I envy the poorest servant there.
The wretched thought of ending my days in this savage wilderness surrounded by wild animals and everything that is horrid quite distracts me. As for poor David (Mr. Francis) he is well in health but almost mad to think that he ever brought me to such a place. He has led the like of a slave, for as there are no enclosures the cattle are no sooner over the hills than they are out of sight. He has lost a horse and four bullocks, and also three sheep which I suppose, were picked off by the wolves. It is the same with all the settles; they have all lost cattle.
I am afraid you will think I am a croaker, but believe me I have not told you half of our miseries. Oh, how different from the first account I wrote of you on our arrival in this country, but then the weather was mild, and everything seemed enchanting. I was surrounded by friends by whom I was beloved. Now I am separated from all I ever knew and have no hope of ever seeing them again. David seems to have no wish to return and is only unhappy to see me in this state. I believe I have never laughed since I have been here, but at the loss of "My Jokey's (Majacchi) memory. Tell me about the Queen, and what your opinion is about the trial
(signed) "Anna Francis"
In another letter dated January 1821, she observes: -
"And is this the place in which I am to live out the remainder of my existence? Forbid it Heaven! I find I cannot live on such terms, to be buried like a dog in a place surrounded by wild beasts -- to me who have been sued to every comfort! Think of my sensations when I hear the wolves howling round our dismal dwelling. You can have no idea of the dismal yell they make, as loud as a cow bellowing; add to this the barking of the jackals and the blowing of the porcupines. The ground swarms with insects and reptiles. I have had a snake ----------- coiled up by my bedside, and a mouse, as large as a small rat, in my bed, when I was lying very ill. We cannot set a single article of provisions out of the way, but it is covered with millions of ants, some of them an inch long. The sate of my mind is such that I cannot work for half-an hour. I do nothing but cry, and read over and over again the books and old newspapers I have read hundreds of times before. -----
Poor David blames himself continually for bringing me out, and has promised that if I am not more reconciled in a year he will send me to England; but I shall never live that time. And if the Government does not assist us it will be impossible that any one can stay.
