A: men fully equipped, B: men with suitable horses or 25 pounds for their purchase and C: those who had neither, but were anxious to do their best for the colony. Such was the enthusiasm, that within a few days it became obvious that those in the C list had no chance of being selected and the roll closed at 250.Father was named Andrew Gilmour.
