Hi Beverley, yep - he's my gg grandfather. I have his diaries for 1855-1863, published by the Gosford mob, and am at present transcribing his diaries from 1863 to his death in 1870 from photocopies of the originals. Alfred arrived in 1828, was a farmer on Glenthorne at East Gresford until he became a minister in 1850, starting at Brisbane Water parish, centred at Gosford. In 1863 he was translated (what a wonderful ecclesiastical term!) from Gosford to Lochinvar in the Hunter. Alfred had three brothers (of the 11!), father, two uncles, grandfather, three grand uncles and great grandfather who were ministers. Obviously a family failing! Three of his brothers also came to Australia - James in 1824, who took up Dulwich, Glennies Creek in the Hunter, Dr Henry of Singleton in 1832 & Rev Benjamin of the Darling Downs in 1848. regards Malcolm ----- Original Message ----- From: Beverle MacLeod <beverle@austarmetro.com.au> To: <AUS-NSW-HILLS-HAWKESBURY-HUNTER-VALLEY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, 23 June 2002 20:22 Subject: Re: [H,H,HV] "Goorangoola" > Hi Malcolm, > > Don't know if this is relevant, but I have an ancestor Harriet Ferguson (nee > Forner) who was visited by a Rev Alfed Glennie at Mangrove Creek, after the > death of her husband.

Dear Jan, I should very much like a copy of the Merrick personality which you have typed up. Eusebeia Sutherland South Melbourne

TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SYDNEY HERALD" Lower Hawkesbury, Wiseman's, May 26, 1831 Mr. Editor, - You neglect noticing this interesting part of the Country, probably from your not having a Correspondent in this quarter. I purpose giving you now and then a sketch of the Lower Hawkesbury chit chat, should you deem it worthy of a corner in your much esteemed publication. Your's &c. FIDELIS. Police Report - The presence of a Magistrate here to day, enabled the overseers of the different iron and road gangs in this neighbourhood, to settle accounts with the refractory, who by the way, are becoming more bouncible since the publication of the late "Commission", and it is much feared that these gentlemen will never be better, or as well managed as they have been hitherto; however, this is digressing from our Police Report; - after disposing of several every day sort of cases, in which sundry fifties and twenty fives [lashes] were justly awarded &c. Richard MADDOX, an assigned servant to Mr. Solomon WISEMAN, our wealthy and respectable contractor, was charged with getting drunk during the absence of his master and mistress; falling over the table in the parlour, when in the act of waiting on an M.D.; neglecting to clean the gentleman's boots; and finally, to wind up his train of offences, for being seen escorting Miss Rosanna WHITE, a nymph of the kitchen, into the best bedroom, which had not long since been fitted up at a considerable expense, for the reception of an illustrious visitor. However, some discrepancies appearing in the evidence adduced against Dick, together with the Yokel's elegant defence, an award of 50 lashes only was given. Rosanna WHITE, and Catherine GILLMAN, both assigned servants to Mr. WISEMAN, next took Dick's place at the bar, when Elizabeth RYAN being duly sworn, deposed, that she had been left in charge of Mr. WISEMAN's bar, and now charged the prisoners at the Bar of the Court with drunkenness, neglect of work, and a total disregard to deponent's authority. The witness saw some drunken rascals in the tap-room, and detected them in the act of handing strong waters down the kitchen spout, which were drunk by the prisoners, despite of all remonstrance from deponent. Here Miss Catherine GILLMAN, alias Nosey, whose speech was someat defective, or of the nasal kind, arising from an accident which had occurred to her in the mother country, i.e. having the bridge of her nose broken at a wake in St. Giles's, addressed the Court most pathetically, and loudly protested against the charge of drunkenness, appealing to Mr. WISEMAN, who was in the Court, but whose testimony was more con than pro. And her feeling appeal, owing to her not being provided with an interpreter, was totally lost on her auditory. At this stage of the proceedings, Miss RYAN the prosecutrix, on being asked if she had any think more to say, "looked unutterable things", and was about to give a very lengthy descriptive detail of the amorous scene between Dick and Rosa in the best bedroom, but the Court was satisfied, and sentenced them to sojourn for two months each in the third class of the factory, and to be returned to the Government. Rosanna burst into tears at the idea of getting her head shaved, having but a few months to serve of her original sentence, and pleaded strongly that her only fault was being fond of a drop of liquor. Nosey seemed not at all discontented, and proudly cocking up the bit of gristle she had left on that part which once might have boasted a nose, evidently, by contempt, endeavoured to impress on the minds of the spectators, that she was proof against all the tortures her unhappy penchant for overproof was about to entail upon her and her sobbing partner. The Great North Road, leading hence to Maitland, Newcastle &c. is more frequented daily. Parties of pleasure now visit mine host of the Branch Inn in quick succession, and are delighted with the truly majestic and romantic scenery with which this part of the Country abounds. The descent into Wiseman's on the south bank of the river, and the ascent to Devine's Hill, are well worthy the attention of the traveller; on the latter, for a distance of two miles, the road is cut out of solid rock, a work of immense labour and perseverance, reflecting great credit on the ......... [obliterated] .... works have been carried on. The sound of the bugle announced arrival here, on Wedneaday last, of the amiable family of Archibald BELL Esq., late Police Magistrate at Windsor, and his suite, consisting of several vehicles and equestrians, returning from a visit to one of Mr. BELL's delightful farms near Maitland. The whole of the party seemed delighted with the excursion, and during their stay here, Wiseman's was a scene of festivity; they departed yesterday morning for Windsor. Another party arrived here last evening, consisting of Captain DUMARESQ, and lady, with others, amongst whom we noticed the Assistant Colonial Secretary. It is said, the noble Captain retires from "wars alarms" and is going to reside on one of his farms on the Great North Road - at all events he will not be a Dungaree settler.

Hi, Would anyone be able to tell me about Maitland back in 1836? My convict ancestor was sent there. I would appreciate information at all. He was Thomas Knight arrived on the Recovery in 1836. He got his ticket of leave then married in Parramatta to Hannah Gledden in 1850. Thanks Margie

Hi Malcolm, Don't know if this is relevant, but I have an ancestor Harriet Ferguson (nee Forner) who was visited by a Rev Alfed Glennie at Mangrove Creek, after the death of her husband. I believe the Gosford Historical Society has a copy of his diary. He also baptised another relly. Is this man connected to you?

I ,too, would like a copy of the Merrick interview Thanks Jan Kathy Jan Glasby <jan.glasby@hawkerc.act.edu.au> wrote: Hi all, While reading a copy of the 1948 "Singleton Argus" at the National Library this week, I came across a regular series called "Personality of the Week". It appeared nearly every Friday from July until February 1949. For each one a local identity was interviewed, and apart from information about themselves and their family, there were often interesting descriptions of life in the past 50 or so years. They are quite long - about 1400 words. I took a copy of three of them - they are: Walter GOULD, born 1859 West Maitland, son of Charles Gould and Harriet Harman. William Henry MERRICK, born 1856 Howe's Valley, son of Caroline Susannah Merrick. Druce Allen SMITH, born about 1871, son of John Smith and Sarah Spinks. I've already typed up the Merrick one. If anyone would like a copy, just let me know, also the others which I will type up soon.

Hello Malcolm, I see you live in Wagga Wagga, have you heard of any members of the KISS family there? I have heard there is, or was, some of them there. I was a KISS before marriage, and of course am researching the family. Just a stab in the dark....

Hi Malcolm, Many thanks for that interesting information. Do you know if there would be a list of convicts and workers who were assigned to Goorangoola?

Hope this is of interest - Lillian M Noble, in The Glennies Creek Story, records the following - James Glennie came to NSW with Chief Justice Forbes in 1824. He received Grant No. 160 of 2080 acres of land on Falbrook, which he called Dulwich. Falbrook, today, is called Glennies Creek. Robert Dawson, Chief Agent of the Australian Agricultural Co. had on a visit to James Glennie, been intrigued by the beauty of the distant hill country from Dulwich. He borrowed a horse from Glennie and took a three day ride to the hills to explore them. A few years later he took up a large holding there and called it Goorangoola. It was a grant of 1180 acres given to him by the British House of Commons in 1828. In 1837, Dulwich was awarded a farm overseer from Ireland, Pierce Power, to improve farm conditions but after several years, battling drought conditions he left and took up a position at Goorangoola. He had received his pardon whilst at Dulwich as it was found he had been wrongly accused and was not guilty of the offences for which he had been deported. regards Malcolm Glennie Holmes Wagga Wagga Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: scott <sunchase@iprimus.com.au> To: <AUS-NSW-HILLS-HAWKESBURY-HUNTER-VALLEY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, 23 June 2002 11:57 Subject: [H,H,HV] "Goorangoola" > Could sks tell me where "GOORANGOOLA" is or was.
