MISSIONARIES: SELECTED BRIEF BIOGRAPHIES
by Rosemary Dixon-Smith
Quote: "MOFFAT, Robert
LMS missionary arrived at the Cape in 1817; worked among the Bechuana at Kuruman Mission Station for 50 years. Wrote 'Missionary Labours and Scenes in South Africa' (1842), and translated the Catechism as well as the New Testament into the Tswana language. His daughter Mary married David Livingstone, the missionary-explorer, who also worked at Kuruman before his travels in Central Africa."
