The Hunting Blackbeards of Botswana ‘is the story of three generations of Blackbeards who have hunted and guided in Botswana. The Blackbeard name was brought to Africa by Francis Blackbeard, a silver and goldsmith from England who came to Africa with his family in 1820. In 1879, his son Samuel left to go to the Bechuanaland as a trader. Dennis Blackbeard was one of Samuel's sons who became a professional hunter running safaris in Botswana. Both Dennis's sons, Gavin and Ronnie, became professional hunters as did Gavin's son, Luke Blackbeard.’ (https://www.shakariconnection.com/brian-marsh-books.html)
