James Allison (1802-75) was a Wesleyan Methodist missionary and catechist who worked among the Griquas and other groups in his early days. In 1847 he moved to Natal with 1000 converts, settling at Indaleni on land granted by the government. Later he had differences with his Wesleyan superiors and moved to the farm Welverdient, formerly owned by A.W.J. Pretorius, which he named Edendale. There he taught his people improved methods of agriculture and constructed a watermill for grinding mealies. At Pietermaritzburg, he built the Ebenezer Chapel (1865), still in existence, and later established the Impolweni mission (1869)
