Abstract

Before the arrival of the 1820 settlers, Hilton was owned by Philip Schutte and was known as ‘the loan place Roodekraai- (Red Bend)’. In 1823 Harry Rivers was granted the farm on ‘perpetual quitrent.’ He, however, was transferred to Swellendam at his own request and in 1825, the property was transferred to Messrs Lee and Cock [William Cock and Lee entered into a butchery partnership in the early-mid 1820s-Ed]. Ten years later Coenraad Frederick Scheepers had the farm for a very brief period.
