Rhodesia's Pioneer Women (1859-1896)

Compiled by Jessie M. Lloyd

Recompiled by Eddy Norris, for use on ORAFs, from a copy of the booklet made available by Lewis Walter

Foreword

This is an interesting compilation and must have involved immense industry. The result is a complete survey of all the women who played a part in the pioneering of Southern Rhodesia. No doubt there will appear omissions and mistakes but, in its own way, it is itself a pioneering effort, and until the principal list was made and published, there was no method of making contact with all who may have information to add to or amend that given here. In her straightforward and factual collection of names and the main facts associated with those names Mrs. Lloyd has laid a foundation upon which much may be built. We owe her much for the time and labour she has given to her self-imposed task.

Preface

The Rhodesia Pioneers' and Early Settlers' Society was founded in September, 1904; but it was not until 1934 that the Society decided to include women as members. After that decision the then Secretary, Col. Dan Judson said: " In giving Women Pioneers this recognition I am not only referring to the living but also to the dead, because possibly the majority of those who can be classed as pioneers are dead and gone. It would be a very fine thing if we had an accurate list of those names, both dead and living, which could be placed in some conspicuous position for members and visitors to see ..." I have done my best to complete this "accurate list."

I wish to express my gratitude to all who have so kindly helped me to collect these names, especially Mrs. Boggie of Gwelo, Mrs. Edwards of Chipinga, Mrs. Black of Marula, the late Mrs. Paddon and Mr. C. W. Botton, Secretary of the Pioneers' and Early Settlers' Society. Also I am very grateful to Mrs. Judge and my son Arthur Lloyd for checking, and to Mrs. Hepenstall for the loan of her typewriter.

I have given the date of arrival after each name and the source of information in every case. The original index cards, with names, dates, etc., and all letters I have had dealing with Pioneer Women will be kept in the archives of the Pioneers' and Early Settlers' Society in Bulawayo.

Where I have written "On Roll of Women Pioneers" it is to indicate the fact that these names have all been registered on Application Forms for Membership and have been signed by the applicants.

Where I have put "still living" I have recorded the year that I received that information, in brackets. In several cases I have names and dates only, in spite of over 60 letters and telephone calls in answer to my advertisements asking for information regarding Pioneer Women.

I should explain that this is a record of women who came to this country between the years 1859 and 1896 inclusive; not all of them stayed, and some only passed through - nevertheless they came.

This publication has been sponsored by the Trustees of the Southern Rhodesia State Lotteries, to whom I offer my grateful thanks.
