Blair, Susan Miss (aged 17)
Blair, Isabella – died of fever in the entrenchment (aged 24)

The Alexander, Blair, Kennedy, Master and Newenham families all shared losses at Cawnpore; however, for one member of this bewildering family, the tragedy had started long before.
Susan Kennedy was born in India and possibly in Cawnpore in 1808. She was the eldest of General James Kennedy’s (of the 5th Bengal Light Cavalry) 11 daughters and four sons. At 16, she married Edward McLeod Blair of her father’s regiment and bore him eight children. Captain Blair went on active duty with his regiment to Afghanistan and was killed during the retreat from Kabul at Jagdalak. In 1856, Susan Blair, with her daughters Isabella and Susan, returned to India from England. Her youngest sister, Charlotte, the wife of Arthur Wellesley Robert Newenham (one-time resident surgeon at the Indore Charitable Hospital, now attached to the 1st Bengal Native Infantry), was residing in Cawnpore as was her nephew, Lieutenant Gilbert Augustus Master, the 25-year-old son of Brigadier Colonel Robert Augustus Master (at Lucknow in 1857) – the colonel’s wife, Marian, was none other than the fourth daughter of General James Kennedy and Susan’s sister.

Her ageing parents and other members of Susan Blair’s extended family were residing in Benares. Among them was Lieutenant-Colonel William Alexander, of the 8th Bengal Light Cavalry, who had been married to her sister Ann until she died in 1844. Their son Augustus Hay was stationed with the 68th Bengal Native Infantry at Allahabad, where he would be killed during the uprising.
As things go, one of Susan’s daughters, also named Charlotte, had married her cousin Captain William Ruxton Eneas Alexander (the brother of Augustus Hay), 1850, of the 53rd Bengal Native Infantry. When the mutiny broke out, they were stationed at Oorai and would escape death.
As it is, the last news anyone would have about the Blairs would be from Lieutenant Master, who wrote from Cawnpore to his father on the eve of the Satichaura Ghat massacre:
“We have now held out for twenty-one days under tremendous fire. The Raja of Bithoor has offered to forward us in safety to Allahabad, and the General has accepted his terms. I am all right, though twice wounded. Charlotte Newnham and Bella Blair are dead. I’ll write from Allahabad. God bless you. Your affectionate son,  G.A. Master.”

Meanwhile, Susan Blair’s three sons, James, Charles Renny and Thomas Hawkes, were also in India. They would join the Bombay army – it would be Captain James Blair, with the 2nd Bombay Light Cavalry, who would win the Victoria Cross in Central India in 1857. A cousin, Lieutenant Robert Blair of the 9th Lancers, would win his at Bulandshahr. Sadly, Captain Thomas Blair, of the 19th Bombay Infantry Regiment, died at Mahidpore in 1862. Susan’s father, General James Kennedy, died in 1859 – her mother lived long enough to meet the Prince of Wales in Benares during his India tour in 1876.

It is presumed this is the same Mr Johnstone as on the tablet (albeit he signed himself without the “e” ) who wrote on the wall in General Wheeler’s room, just above the writing of Postmaster Roche. A Freemason, Johnstone wrote in Masonic script the following, which he signed as R.A.B. Johnston, Wor. Master:

The text translates to (when using Pigpen cypher):

“MY SON, FORGET NOT MY LAW; BUT LET THINE HEART
KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS: FOR LENGTH OF DAYS, AND
LONG LIFE, AND PEACE, SHALL THEY ADD TO THEE.”

The text caused some consternation among the Freemasons in India, who debated whether it was not, in fact, merely a Biblical reference but a code, in which Johnston tried to tell his brother Masons where a case of the Lodge regalia and papers had been hidden. It was believed the hiding spot was just south of the barrack but nothing was ever found.

They were brought to Bithur before the Nana, who ordered their execution. Whether the pleading of Mrs. Carter or that of the widows of Baji Rao ( who threatened suicide if Mrs. Carter was killed), Mrs. Carter was spared and gave birth to her daughter in the Zenana. The ladies of the house protected her, but when they were forced to leave on Havelock’s arrival at Cawnpore, Mrs. Carter and her baby were put to death by the Nana’s guards.

Clooney, Mr. He was a discharged drummer of the 2nd Grenadiers, native infantry, living in the city of Cawnpore. Before the outbreak of trouble and seeing it pointless to go to the entrenchment, Clooney and “a few native Christians” took up residence in a small but strongly built house with a flat roof. They then barricaded the doors with bricks and stones. For the first days after the outbreak, Clooney and his friends, armed with matchlocks, managed to keep their attackers at bay, but on the 8th of June, the thatched verandah which surrounded the house was set on fire, and the men burned to death.

D.

DeGama, Ignatius Xavier, Merchant , killed 10th June
DeGama had declined on advice of his one-time and best customer, the Nana Sahib, to enter the entrenchment. Instead, he hid himself in a perforated box which he had installed on the roof of his house. However, he was found and dragged to the Nana. He never had the chance to plead his case nor did he receive any mercy – the Nana refused to speak to DeGama and ordered him killed. The guard “slashed repeatedly” at the merchant “cutting through his mouth and sending him into the dust, where he rolled and writhed about in a fearful manner” until a few more sword strokes put him out of his misery.
Duncan, John, Mr, Road Superintendent, killed  10th June. He was sent in as a prisoner from the village of Pewindi – his captor received a reward of Rs 10. However, he would find himself facing the hangman when Sir Henry Havelock arrived.

G.

Green, Mr. (Pensioner) – superintendent of the bridge-of-boats. He was hidden in the house of his Indian companion (bibi), but as the situation deteriorated, she tried to help him escape out of Cawnpore. Unfortunately, Green was discovered close to the old native infantry lines, where he was brought out to the parade ground and killed, either by the troops of the Nana Sahib or a local mob.

The Greenways were initially held hostage by the Nana Sahib but were ultimately put to death on the 15th of July. Rose Anne Greenway, the mother of Samuel, Edward and Thomas and, by all means, the matriarch of this hefty mercantile family, remained with her son Edward at the Greenway indigo factory (16 miles outside Cawnpore), while Samuel and Thomas went with their families to the entrenchment. They were joined at the factory by Captain Hollings, the editor of the Greenway-owned Central Star newspaper.
The factory was attacked on the 8th of June by an armed mob, but they were held at bay. Captain Hollings had provisioned the roof, where the family now found themselves, with a row of double-barrelled shotguns, and it would appear his firing was so devastating the mob took flight and only returned when they had acquired reinforcements from Cawnpore. Hollings, by then, had run out of ammunition and was “sitting out on the balustrade, contemptuously baring his chest and challenging the soldiers to shoot him.” The newly arrived troopers obliged, and several shots later, Hollings tumbled dead from the roof, mortally wounded in the breast.
The family would have been killed had Mrs. Greenway not offered the mob and the troopers a significant ransom – as such, they were taken away from the factory by bullock cart to the Nana Sahib, once a patron of their town shop and a social acquaintance of the brothers. The Nana agreed to provide them safe passage to Allahabad, provided Mrs. Greenway paid for it – his demand was no less than Rs 200’000. The Greenways immediately handed over what they had on their person, and it would appear Mrs. Greenway told the Nana of a treasure chest her son had buried in the garden on the house. The Greenways were left outside, in the sun, while the troopers went to search for the chest, but after several hours of searching, they claimed they could not find it. Instead, Mrs. Greenway now offered the Nana the remaining amount from her bank at Calcutta, after which they were brought, as hostages, into the Savada House.

The Jacobis were held by the Nana Sahib and killed at the Bibighar.
Jacobi, Mrs.
Jacobi, Henry, Lucy and Hugh, children of above
Jacobi, William, son to above (grown up)
The family of Henry Jacobi, unlike his brother Frederick, refused to go to the entrenchment. Instead, they hid in a house owned by Indian friends, close to the Magazine. However, as searches were going on in Cawnpore for Christians, Henry and his family managed to secret themselves across the river, where they hid in the long grass. Unfortunately, the next morning, before they could find a better hiding place in the countryside, they were discovered by some local landowners and handed over to the Nana Sahib at the Savada House.
They would have “shared the same fate as the DeGama” had Mrs. Jacobi not raised her voice in temper and shouted at the Nana Sahib, “It is cowardice to kill helpless women and children, ” further admonishing him of his disgraceful conduct until he, in his shame, ordered them kept as hostages at Savada House. Her husband, however, died of sunstroke, and her eldest son, William, who was not with the family but trying to remain hidden in the city, was found out and killed.

A long-term resident and wealthy landlord of several bungalows in Cawnpore and fluent in Hindi, Charles Mackintosh attempted to disguise himself and his son as watchmen. They tried to hide under the bridge, not far from the Greenway’s residence, but were discovered by some boys who betrayed them to the Nana’s sowars. Both father and son were hacked to pieces. His wife, Amelia, was found hiding in a native hut. She was taken before the Nana Sahib at his momentary residence in the city at Duncan’s Hotel and ordered beheaded. Her body was then laid in a ditch “on its back and the bleeding head placed on the breast in wich position it was left to decompose.” Their bones were eventually picked up and buried by their remaining son, who found them after Havelock arrived at Cawnpore.
