Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 10, 1900 - page 3 Town Gossip Miss Long is back again after a fortnight's holiday in Sydney. Mr. T. R. Smith's picnic races take place at Penrith to-day (Saturday). Mr. M. McMahon, son of Mr. James McMahon, was in Windsor for a few days last week, from Albury. Mr. C. G. Hatte has closed his Windsor branch, and the stock was removed to the metropolis this week. Mr. W. Cupitt met with an accident on his bike the other day, colliding with a buggy near the R.C. burial ground. The bugle call used "at the front" in South Africa is the first six bars of the Rev. T. H. Taylor's patriotic song "Australia." So Pitt Town is represented at the war. A party pf Windsor residents, Messrs. F. Hannabus, W. Upton, J. Armstrong, and J. Busby, have had a week's fishing down the river. Mr. T. Collison is making headway with his new building in George-street. When completed it should prove an ornament to the town. Mr. Harry Forrest, of Killarney, advertises for sale improved incubators of his own make. We will refer to them at length next week. Mr. Robert Buttsworth, J.P., arrived from Coonamble on Tuesday evening, and will spend a couple of weeks in the Hawkesbury district. The grandstand luncheon-room in connection with the forthcoming Show will be sold by Messrs. Guest and Skuthorp at the showground on Wednesday. Mr. A. Hannabus will shortly give up the farm on Pitt Town Road known as McKenzie's to Mr. P. Vaughan, who has recently purchased the property. We understand that Mr. Reuben Greentree has purchased from Mr. J. Wood the cottage next to Mr. Fitzpatrick's residence, the Peninsula. Mr. J. C. L. Fitzpatrick, M.P., was sworn in as a Magistrate for the colony before Mr. Justice Gibson, at the Quarter Sessions at Darlinghurst on Monday last. Mr. G. McCauley journeyed to Sydney on Wednesday last to conduct a case on behalf of a Richmond resident. The matter was eventually amicable settled. As yet no start has been made with the additions and alterations to the Windsor School of Arts. We understood some time back that the mortgage had been completed and that the money was in hand and available for the purpose. The Police Magistrate and several of the local Justices came into conflict as to the interpretation of certain clauses of the Fines Act, lately passed by the Legislature, on Friday last. The opinion of the local justices eventually prevailed. A cable this week says that the N. S. Wales Army Medical corps, Surgeon-Major T. H. Fiaschi in command, were among the first to enter the trenches after the attack on Cronje's laager. Surgeon-Major Fiaschi achieved many medical successes. Mr. W. Boxhall was married in Sydney on Wednesday. Mr. Boxhall has earned the respect and goodwill of all with whom he has come into contact in this district. He is an unassuming man, and as straight as a gun-barrel. We trust that he and his young wife will have many years of happiness and prosperity. There was a large array of magistrates on the bench on Tuesday last. No less than nine J's.P. sat and adjudicated in the different cases before the Court. If there are many more appointments made in the district it will be necessary to have the platform enlarged and the seating accommodation double banked. We know a Windsor man who was caught in a heavy shower on Tuesday, and to avoid getting his clothes wet he divested himself of them and poked them in a hollow log. Then, so that he would not get wet himself, he jumped into South Creek and stayed there till the shower was over. He says that's a wrinkle he learnt from the blacks.

I would like to contact any descendants of John ROSS, transported to Australia in 1807 on the "Duke of Portland", who later married Elizabeth Bennett at St Matthew's Church Windsor in 1813. I understand that St Matthew's was built in 1817, but the marriage registration states married at St Matthew's Windsor 1813. Jan Koperberg

Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 - page 9 Freeman's Reach A tennis match was played here on Saturday afternoon last between teams representing the local club and Wilberforce club. There were four couples on each side. Sixteen sets were played, the local team winning the contest with 10 sets, 82 games, against 6 sets, 66 games. Mr. F. Nicholls and Miss J. Greentree played best for Freeman's Reach, whilst Mr. A. Daley and Miss L. Buttsworth did splendid work for their side, winning four sets. Players for Freeman's Reach were :- Mr. CLOTHIER Miss A. NICHOLLS Mr. F. NICHOLLS Miss J. GREENTREE Mr. J. HIBBERT Miss L. SMITH Mr. L. TURNBULL Miss H. SMITH Players for Wilberforce were :- Mr. H. BOWD Miss L. BUTTSWORTH Mr. F. DALEY Miss M. GREENTREE Mr. A. DALEY Miss Lil BUTTSWORTH Mr. B. BOWD Miss E. GREENTREE

I have scanned these, along with the sketches of Clendon and C. W. H. if interested. Maureen Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 - page 8 Soldiers of Our Queen Trooper Clendon Callaghan, who went to South Africa with the Australian Mounted Infantry, in the "Southern Cross," on January 17, is the second son of Dr. Callaghan, J.P., of Windsor. Clen, as he is familiarly called, was one of the most popular young men in Windsor, and he received a royal send-off on the night that he took his departure from Windsor, a few days prior to sailing to South Africa. He is 21 years of age, and was born in Richmond. His primary education was received at home, under a governess, and he attended Mr. J. Gordon Young's High-school at the Peninsula for some years ; subsequently he was a student at the Windsor Grammar School, and when he volunteered for active service he was engaged in a business house in Sydney. He is the sort of man that should be useful in South Africa - being stout of heart, sturdy and robust of constitution, of good physique, and a splendid horseman. That all will go well with him while fighting for his Queen and country is t! he earnest prayer of those who know him or his good parents. Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 - page 8 Corporal C. W. H. Coulter is also at the front. He sailed with the mounted section of the Army Medical Corps in the "Moravian" last month. Mr. Coulter was born in the Monara district, and is about 26 years of age. He has been "soldiering" ever since he was able to carry a gun, for as a school boy he belonged to a cadet corps, and has ever since been connected with one or other of the colonial forces. At Dubbo and Bega he was in the Mounted Rifles. Mr. Coulter is a telegraph operator, and came to Riverstone some eight months ago from Albury,having arranged an exchange with Mr. Schofield at Riverstone. Prior to that he was at Pambula. He did relieving duty in the Windsor office for a short time, and just prior to volunteering for South Africa he received an appointment in head office. Corporal Coulter made many friends on Windsor and Riverstone. He is a man of unassuming character and genial disposition, and that he is "real grit" is proved by his eagerness to go to t! he front in the Empire's cause. May no ill befall him is the wish of his many friends.

Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 - page 12 Windsor Borough Council Present : The Mayor (Ald. J. J. Paine), Ald. Dean, J. T. Gosper, Taylor, Huggins, W. Gosper, Berckelman, and Primrose. Mayor's minute 1. To consider and determine as to making assessment and rate under provisions and for the purposes set forth in section 141 of the Municipalities' Act of 1897, and as to the amount of such rate. 2. To consider the expediency of establishing a special rate for lighting under the provisions of section 143 of the Municipalities' Act of 1897, and as to the amount of such rate. 3. To consider the expediency of establishing a special rate for the supply of water to the Borough under the provisions of section 144 of Municipalities' Act of 1897, and as to the amount of rate. The Minutes were adopted, and after the usual routine business the following rates were struck. General rate - 1/- in the £ ; Lighting rate - 3d in the £ ; Water rate - 9d in the £. The Valuers' report was adopted, and April 6 fixed for the hearing of appeals. Questions Ald. Dean asked if the Mayor would give instructions to have the names of all who paid no water rates to be laid on the table. The Mayor stated that he would, and in answer to a further question informed Ald. Dean that the lighting account was a trifle more satisfactory than last year. Motions Ald. W. Gosper moved "That tenders be called for by next ordinary meeting of the Council for the construction of a drain through Messrs. Fitzgerald's and Barker's properties, according to specifications." Seconded by Ald. J. T. Gosper. Ald. Primrose supported the resolution. He thought the specifications should first be laid on the table. The Mayor suggested that the matter be allowed to stand over till the next meeting, so that they could go into the specifications. Ald. Dean was opposed to that course. They should take advantage of the present dry weather. Ald. Berckelman moved "That the matter be allowed to stand over till next ordinary meeting." Seconded by Ald. Huggins. Ald. Dean was opposed to delays. He thought it advisable to get the motion carried, and they would be one step forward. If later on any of the aldermen did not approve of the specification they need go no further with the work. After discussion the amendment was carried. Ald. Gosper moved "That all drains through which other than surface water flows into the streets be stopped up. He pointed out that there were three very offensive drains in the town, and he moved the resolution to test the Council. Ald. Dean seconded the resolution. He said the Council had kept the drains clean at great expense, but the nuisance was becoming so great that they could cope no longer with it. The resolution might inflict hardships on some people, but as the warnings of the Council to offenders had not been heeded, it behoved the Aldermen to put a stop to the objectionable practice of so many of the ratepayers. There was no doubt that the prevalence of fever was due to the insanitary state of the town. The Council had disinfected some of the gutters, but they could not be expected to be always doing that. He hoped the resolution would be carried. Ald. Primrose was willing to support any measure that was for the cleansing of the Borough ; but it had occurred to him that by doing what was proposed they might render themselves liable. Ald. Taylor thought the trouble was only in two or three places, and it would not be fair to stop up all drains. Ald. Huggins said that if the Mayor or aldermen walked in certain streets they would at once be convinced of the necessity of doing something stringent. If something was not done they would soon have their hospital full. The Mayor thought it desirable that the resolution should be carried. The Council was not likely to do anything harsh. There was something in what Ald. Primrose said about the legality of preventing water from going off private property. The best course to take was to have persons who were known to offend reported to the Council, and then deal with them by a specific motion. Ald. Gosper explained that the Works-Committee only wanted power to stop up unoffensive drains. After further discussion the motion was carried. The Council then rose.

Hi Listers I am searching for information for death of James Edward THOMPSON (seaman) possibly died Newcastle. He may have died as a result of a shipwreck off Newcastle. He was married 30th October 1873 at Elizabeth Street, Sydney to Jannet (Janet) Jessie M. WADDELL for a short time. Jannet a widow remarried 31st March 1879 to Thomas BURDON (seaman). I am keen to know what ship these men were on. I know Thomas Burdon was on the BULLI vessel as at some stage. I would like to make contact with any descendants. Also interested to know of any GARD or QUINLAN (Irish)families who were from the Hunter District particularly Maitland and Morpeth. Thanks Mary Linning Qld

I didn't realise that the 'rivalry' between NSW and Victoria existed so long ago!! Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 - page 5 The Victorians' Disaster. Did we call yer "Cabbage Garden," did we jeer about your cheek ? That was only in the little things and small ! What's become of all the rivalry of which we used to speak ? It's vanished when the Empire made a call. If we're rivals in the little things we're partners in the great. And it's "hands across the Murray" when there's danger at the gate, And our hearts like yours are heavy at those gallant horses' fate. For we're all of us Australians after all ! - Orange Leader.

Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 - page 6 On Inland Waters (III) Among Orchards and Cornfields Written Specially for the Gazette by J. C. G. The Colo is very deep in places, though there is much shallow water - seemingly deposits of recent years. Many fine orchards greet the eye on either side, notably those of Messrs. W. and J. METHERELL, who believe in irrigation, and pump water by steam engine for the purpose. Adjoining them is Mr. KEMP's old orchard and residence - his home in pre-champion days. From this point, up stream is the Long Reach, straight as an arrow for a mile and a half - and this was the training course for more than one champion. Downstream again, Mr. TURNBULL has a fine orchard and nice residence. There are roads along the river, and also to Kurrajong, Richmond, and Windsor. The river is navigable for about nine miles. The "beauty spots" among the Colo and Lower Portland are many and exquisite in their loveliness - they are so all up and down the river, but where I have indicated they are known to me - engraved in my memory, and yet their owners seem to place but little value on them ; ! they talk of hundreds of pounds, where they might speak of thousands. A seven-acre orchard will give one a living no doubt, but surely that should not be all for a young man to look forward to. A certain seven-acre patch I know should be worth at least £10,000 to a man desiring a quiet, healthful and beautiful home, with a broad river at his feet, his estate encircled by walls of rock, rocky terraces to build upon, and heaps of stone to build with. As for the soil - let the peaches, pears, apples, tomatoes, passion fruit, maize, melons, marrows, pumpkins, which I have seen growing there answer. It cannot be surpassed. This seven-acre orchard is not a dream, nor a fairy tale. It exists in the solid. Opposite EVERINGHAM's Point one may find it. Its owner is "Joe" BROWN (Joe ain't takin' any "mister") the grandson of "Fisherman BROWN" of whom I have heard as one of the ancients. Joe is not ancient - not in his husbandry, anyhow. His orchard is a credit to him, and Jo! e himself is a man worth knowing. Wile in camp, J. B. was our very go od friend, and spared himself no exertion to afford us pleasure. If I have eulogised him, he deserves all I have written. Joe not only keeps his own lot in capital order, but works another orchard opposite with Mr. E. MITCHELL, and here, also, the fruit is exceptionally fine. EVERINGHAM's Point is of large extent - one of the earliest settlements, no doubt ; there is every evidence of it. Mr. E. MITCHELL farms the principal farm ; his son Wesley another, while between there is a large area of pastures whereon in the old days wheat was grown. "I have cut many an acre of wheat down there with a sickle" said a lady friend to me one day. But we have gone farther afield for our wheat growing - fruit for a metropolitan population is more profitable. On the Point is the Wesleyan chapel, in which the Rev. Mr. TARN holds service o'Sundays. The chapel is 16 years old, and is a neat little structure of stone. In Mr. and Mrs. MITCHELL we found good friends, and the boys most co! mpanionable - and we spent some pleasant evenings with the family. They are everywhere - at Sackville, Lower Portland, Leet's Vale, and Lower Hawkesbury. One might call them the "Clan MITCHELL" ; so also the EVERINGHAM's, the CAVANOUGH's, the HERPS', the JONES', the ROSES and other families. Some of our party went down by steamer to RECKLESS' - where the nephews of my old friend, Mr. Michael McMAHON, of Comleroy Road, were road making. I towed the boat down for them, and rather a stiff job it was, for the wind beats the tide easily ; had it been the other way I should have up-sail. As it was I did my best, and the return home in the dark - the songs we sung and the fun we had - was the reward. Another warm row was to "Rexford," the nice home of Mr. W. R. NEWELL, which, I may say, for comfort and repleteness is as near perfection as possible. The orchard is of small area, but as Mr. NEWELL is a man of resource, method, and order, his small area probably gives better returns than many larger properties. The house is of stone, and built from Mr. NEWELL's own designs. It is on a commanding site, and just the place in which to spend a few weeks in the hot season, for the house is the coolest of any I had been in. Like Mr. KEMP, Mr. NEWELL is handy with tools ; he also works with his head - has some artistic ideas and agrees with me as to the importance of the Hawkesbury as a tourist's route and sanatorium. I saw many things at "Rexford" which surprised me - particularly in regard to literature and art - which is not strange, however, seeing that Mr. NEWELL comes of a literary and an artistic stock. Suffice it to say, we spent a most enjoyable afternoon at "Rexford," for after the squire showing us over the house and grounds he gave me a game on his billiard table and a good Manila cigar ; while Mrs. NEWELL most hospitably provided us with "afternoon te! a" on the broad cool verandah. The visit concluded with a little music (by Miss NEWELL and two of our party) and we embarked in our galliot, giving a verse of "Auld Lang Syne" as we pulled out into the stream - head on to the wash of an approaching steamer - for these rollers are none too pleasant in a deeply loaded skiff. Again, our return home in the gloaming was most pleasurable. Opposite our camp on Portland Reach is the fine large orchard of Mrs. CHRISTIE, widow of the late J. T. CHRISTIE, which is worked by her two younger sons. They have their hands fill, for there are 75 acres to attend to - yet it is in very fair condition. The crop of fruit - peaches and nectarines in particular - was phenomenal this season and a sight for our party to see, for some of them were strangers to Hawkesbury orchards. This orchard is one of the oldest at Lower Portland and famed for its oranges, which have fetched good prices in England. This farm adjoins Mr. Peter KEMP's, and th! e homestead forms a pretty picture from the spur at the rear of our ca mp. As our party at any time included but four persons of the male persuasion, the ladies became experts with the oars, and often pulled long distances. And as the men returned to their businesses, still more physical exertion devolved upon the women folk, but they never shirked, and browned hands and sunburned faces became the correct thing. We were present at St. John's tea fight on New Year's Day ; also the public school picnic on Anniversary Day, and enjoyed ourselves immensely, in spite of searching sunbeams and exceedingly hot tea - for we met many old acquaintances of my own, and joined with them in the games. Fancy rounders with something like 30 (more or less) aside. At the picnic (on the Colo opposite Mr. Peter KEMP's) we got on famously, for we found Mr. JAMES, the teacher, a very cordial, hearty host, and in the Rev. Mr. TARN a real good liberal parson, and a patriotic outspoken gentleman. May his shadow never grow less - id it does there will be none. In ! the evening our young folks joined Mr. JAMES and his friends in a dance, whereat Mr. Herbert EALES (son of my old friend 'Bob,' of that ilk, now in the "Debateable Land") played exquisitely on his violin. 'Herb' was always a good fiddler - even in the old days, when we dances all night at Newport, and all day returning home. During the last days of our visit our party counted only six, and then we returned home by the "Hawkesbury," leaving our camp at Lower Portland at something after 10 a.m. and reaching the railway end at about the same hour p.m. It was too bad, though we could expect nothing else, when we saw the heaps of melons and other produce at KEMP's wharf and other places lower down. Nor we can blame Skipper O'BRIEN or his youthful crew of 'ducks' - although a promise was made that we should be landed at Hawkesbury station in time for the evening train. At Wiseman's we knew it was all up, for our stay there was nearly two hours, and the 'Surprise' showed us h! er heels (which is not proper, still, more improper would it be to say the other thing) and we never saw her again until we crossed her deck at the railway wharf. She landed 'her' passengers twenty minutes before train time. No wonder Skipper JONES grinned when he saw us. Still, even he does not always keep faith with his passengers, as some of our party happen to know - though I believe he 'does' try. (To be continued).

I am new to this list and would appreciate any help and/or information about My Brick Wall. I am the 4X Great Grandaughter of F/F Convict Joseph Hatton and am reserching Rosamond Sparrow. Rose, aka Rosamond, Sparrow was transported to Pt. Jackson in the second Fleet (Mary Ann - 1791]. Also on the Mary Ann was one, Ann Sparrow, whom I believe to be Rosamond's Mother. Ann Sparrow died in Sydney and was buried in January,1792. Rosamond married Joseph Hatton on 18th March, 1792. In 1795 she stabbed him while in a rage and after he recovered ask that she not be punished but be sent away from him. She was in trouble whilst with another convict and was punished by having her head shaved, wearing an iron collar & spending some time in gaol. She appeared in various Colony Musters, in 1802 she was a Housekeeper for Mr. T. Oliver at Wilberforce. In 1816 she was recorded as single and in Hawkesbury. In 1817 she referred to herself as a Veteran's wife, in 1822 she was unemployed in Parramatta. In 1828 at the age of 65 she was a Lodger at Mr. James Oliver's in Wilberforce. She seems to vanish after 1828 Census and I have found no Death information on her, and no mention of any children. I have been on cemetary crawls around Wilberforce in NSW but found nothing. If a grave or Headstone exists it could be on the property where they were living. Even though she is not part of my Lineage I would like to find out what happened to her so I can lay her to rest and get on with it. She, is my Brickwall. Regards, Cheryl in Brisbane.
