William GRADWELL was working as a blacksmith in Grahamstown. At the age of 21 he came as a Settler in Hayhurst's party aboard the ship named John and was famous as a big-game hunter (chiefly elephant, buffalo, lion hippopotamus & rhinoceros).
Unfortunately his exploits in the field have not been formally recorded, his fame being now a matter of family tradition only. 24 Dec 1838 Thomas Shone measured WG for boots at Trappe's Valley Mill.
