	look what I found Tetanus (lockjaw) Tetanus is a disease caused by Clostridium tetani, an organism commonly found in the soil. It is much more prevalent on farms where horses have been kept. ... The organism can infect sheep through wounds from shearing, docking, castration, or vaccination.

	Captain Dan's descendants who transcribed the memoirs later got a lot of it wrong. They said his father (my 3x G.Grandfather Evan) fought in the American War of Independence. He wasn't born then. But the facts fit the Anglo-American War of 1812

	Popped back as I recall that in Far from the Madding Crowd, Gabriel's sheep were bloated and in danger of dying before he released the gas from their stomachs. I think I've got the right Hardy novel. Also I think there was similar in a James Heriot episode. Gotta go. Night night. <3 :-D

	Tetanus was endemic in the slave population at the time

	The clue may be in ... smelling like rotten sheep. Googling rotten sheep may bring something to the fore. (As long as it's not the smell.). :-0
