Colonial Despatches

Samuel R. Heseltine was a businessperson involved in the stock market in London, England. He had at least two sons: Samuel J. Heseltine, the eldest, died in Victoria on 5 September 1859; and John Heseltine, who remained in England and followed in his father's footsteps.1 After his son's death, Heseltine made several attempts to collect the proceeds of his son's estate but it is not clear whether he was able to do so.2 Samuel R. Heseltine died at his residence at Blake House, Bow, on 19 October 1861, aged seventy-five years.3
