George Rex. 29 August 1765 - 3 April 1839, was a British-born entrepreneur, who spent most of his adult life in the Cape Colony, South Africa. He founded the town of Knysna in the Western Cape and played a key role in its development. Rex filled a number of positions in the Cape Colony - including Marshal of the Vice-admiralty Court, notary public to the Governor and advocate for the Crown - before settling on the farm Melkhoutkraal, in the Knysna district.
