Captain Thomas Henry Duthie (6 June 1806 - 13 October 1857) was a Scottish member of the 72nd Highlanders who arrived in Cape Town, South Africa in 1826 and was stationed at the Castle of Good Hope. Duthie married Caroline Rex, the daughter of the founder of Knysna, George Rex. He was the owner of the Belvidere, Brenton and Portland estates, the last sold to Henry Barrington. He was the founder of the Holy Trinity Church of Belvidere; he laid the foundation stone in 1851 and the church was consecrated in 1855. The Duthies hosted many a traveller and scientist of note at Belvidere House, like the German Christian Ferdinand Friedrich Krauss. Captain Duthie was also appointed Inspector of Crown Forest and lands. == References == * Sanni Metelerkamp, George Rex of Knysna (1955). * Patricia Storrar, George Rex: death of a legend (Macmillan South Africa, 1974). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Henry Duthie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
