Contact made with Cape La Hune's founding family

  Samuel Bagg RIP (1874-1951) On the Discovery page I recount the story of my accidental discovery of Cape La Hune's founding family and included this photograph of Samuel Bagg's gravestone that I found when I visited Cape La Hune last year. I subsequently discovered that Samuel was the great grandson of Hugh Bagg, one of the founders of Cape La Hune in the 1780s or thereabouts. Well, since then I have been contacted by Ron Keeping who is Samuel's Grandson and lived in Cape La Hune. Ron has volunteered to talk to me about his family history that he has traced back to the UK. This is wonderful news and with Ron's help I should be able to fill in some significant blanks in the record that I have so far managed to piece together. I'm looking forward to talking to Ron some time in the next week or so.
