[1] "Descendants of James and Jane Hoole"
[2] In 1835 a star-shaped fort was built to protect the 1600 members of the Fingo people, refugees from the area now comprising the Transkei who were allies of the Europeans in the wars with the Xhosa. The fort was named after Colonel John Peddie of the Seaforth Highlanders. In 1846 it withstood a siege by 9000 warriors. A town grew around the the fort. Fort Peddie was built in 1841 on the site of an earlier earth stronghold.In 1836 the Reverend John Ayliff was responsible for the resettlement of the Fingo into the colony from "the country beyond the Kei", and a bronze plaque has been erected under a large milkwood tree in Peddie by the Monuments Commission recording the Fingo's declaration of loyalty to "God and the King". Fingo people congregate around the old milkwood tree on 14 May every year for
a remembrance service. Fingos were enslaved by the Xhosas. The word AmaMfengu means homeless beggars. These were people who had been defeated and driven from their own land by Chaka, the Zulu Chief, had taken refuge among Hintza's Galekas, and were treated by them as serfs.
