Sic: My great-great-great-grandfather arrived in South Africa as one of the English 1820 Settlers. I have managed to trace him to having been born in Halifax. His name was John Philip Camm. His father was Peter Camm. John Philip Camm came to South Africa with his father's brother, Christopher Thornhill Camm. Christopher was permitted to change his name to Thornhill in order to inherit an estate from an uncle John Camm.
