Talk:Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts

message: The original arrangements for Kirchenbergen lease (from 1841) are unclear.  The family of Johann Samuel Kuchel and wife Johanne Dorothea (nee Klenke) are recorded as moving to Kirchenbergen in 1845, after residing briefly in Klemzig, South Australia and in Hahndorf township.
Samuel's sons Frederich Wilkelm (always known by his second name) and Johann Christian left Kirchenbergen in 1872.  Christian returned briefly in March 1881 and married Johanne Louise Hirte, and gain left in September to take up land near Murray Bridge.
It is unclear when the parents Johann Samuel and wife Johanne Dorothea left Kirchenbergen and under what circumstances.
Johann Samuel died in Murray Bridge on 5 February 1900, aged 85.  His wife had died at Swanport on 21st November 1891, aged 77.

Extract from Kuchel family history (1838-1970) Hahndorf, South Australia
:"Kirchenbergen comprised three sections of land totalling about 240 acres [1 km²] out of 400 acres [1.6 km²] of Crown lands in a special survey that was purchased by the Incorporated Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts on 15th May, 1841.  It cannot be ascertained under what tenure the Kuchels held Kirchenbergen originally, but in 1863 the Society for the Propogation of the Gospel granted them a lease (in which they were described as "farmers") for a period of 20 years.
:The rent was fixed at 89 pounds a year for the first seven years and 89 pounds a year for the remainder of the term, so they allowed for inflation in those days.  Among the conditions of the lease were:
:-  to cultivate and to plant on the said land during the first seven years 4.5 acres [18,000 m²] of vines,
:-  to repair, uphold, amend and keep in repair the erections, buildings and fences upon the said premises, and
:-  not to let, underlet or assign over or otherwise part with any portion of the said premises without the consent in writing of the said Society."

message: The new buillet point paragraphs by Pclemison appear to be little more than promotion for the USPG and are not appropriate in the introduction of an encyclopedia article (about the old SPG). Recommend that these are deleted or, at least, inorporated into one paragraph. – Agendum 08:14, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Have made amendments. However, the change was made when it was noted that SPG still exists in the form of USPG, which was not clear by the original format to the page which seemed to have its focus on the slave trade. I have not deleted this, rather allowed it to be shown in proper context. --Pclemison 10:43, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
