IBEA Co. - Nominal List of British Born Subjects resident in IBEA Territories within the Sultan's Domain, 30 April 1891 - Dr. R.V. Moffat, In medical charge of railway

Carman - Another arrival in 1891 was Dr. R.A. Moffat who was sent out to work at Kibwezi as a medical missionary, but subsequently joined the staff of the Company. This gentleman had family connections with the great missionary-explorer David Livingstone whose father-in-law was Moffat's grandfather.

North - 1906 resident at Entebbe; 'Moffat is a most excellent companion and a most experienced medical man' (Ternan 1930); Hilda Moffat died 1912

Web DNW - In 1891 he entered the British East Africa Company's service and quickly found active employment when he accompanied Sir Gerald Portal's expedition to Uganda in 1893. Moffat is frequently mentioned in memoirs of the period, not least 'Soldiering and Surveying in BEA 1891-94' by Major J.R.L. Macdonald RE and in Major Herbert Austin's 'With MacDonald in Uganda' ….. Obviously too, as one of a handful of Doctors then in the Company's service, he receives equally frequent mention in official correspondence and despatches of the period. And it quickly emerges from these sources that his brief extended beyond that of a man of medicine, leading, as he did, Company forces into action, and taking the surrender of an African chief. Having assisted Colonel Francis Rhodes with his report on the route between Mombasa and Uganda in early 1893, the Colonel reported that 'Dr Moffat is present in Kampala and has a good deal of experience with the Kibwesi Industrial Mission. He is most anxious to see one started in Uganda. I should suggest a start being made as soon as possible, even if only a small one.' …………..
