Hendrik Cloete (1792-1870) was descended from the fifth generation of Jacob Cloete who came to the Cape with Jan van Riebeeck. By profession, he was an attorney but he carried out important political tasks for the British government. An ill-tempered man by nature, he was not liked by the Boers of Natal. In due course, he was rewarded with the post of Recorder of Natal and served as chief justice for some years. His Five Lectures on the Emigration of the Dutch Farmers (1856) gives a well-balanced account of the Great Trek.
