"Fortunes Earned and Fortunes Lost" .... continued Duckenfield Park House was built on the estate from the proceeds of many years toil and good fortune and management. The mansion contained 45 rooms and was constructed of quality Pyr-mont sandstone, shipped to the private wharf on the property. It was the quality of the stone which would finally bring the building to its end. Cedar for the joinery was cut from the properties own stands of timber and also was used to make much of the fine furniture which subsequently graced the residence. The home became a showplace on the Hunter and entertained many important guests including several Governors. Not only was the house palatial but it overlooked statue lined terraces and fountains in grounds which were equally extensive, including conservatory, bush houses, hot houses and rockeries. The two hot houses were 40 ft by 18 ft each and contained many rare plants and the bush house was said to represent an English palm-house conservatory, with walks meandering in and about many splendid specimens of palms, fern baskets, trees laden with native orchids and staghorns. The gardens were under the management of the gardener, Mr. LEOPOLD. John EALES Snr. did not see his mansion completed, this being undertaken by his son, who enlarged the home, adding a ballroom with sprung floor, large enough to accomodate 150 couples. The home was equipped with electric light, powered by its own generator, a hot water system and a septic sewerage system, all unheard of luxuries in the mid 1800's. John EALES Jnr. died in 1894, the holdings being divided amongst his five sons. The properties were sold off during this time, with the Duckenfield property itself finally divided up into 20 farms in 1917. Duckenfield House was dismantled and the stone from the old home bought by BHP who shipped it down the river to Newcastle, erecting with it a pattern store at the steel works and three cottages in Mayfield. One wing remained until 1975, when it was dismantled and the sand stone proposed for use in a house in Raymond Terrace, the fourth to be built from the stone and the fifth building. John EALES was obviously a strong willed and ambitious man who would not back down from an altercation if he believed he would prosper from the incident. It is said that around the late 1850's, early 1860's, EALES quarreled violently with his bank manager at the Bank of Australasia in Maitland. EALES refused to close his account in the normal way by drawing a cheque and demanded payment in gold, thereby embarrassing his old bank as it was not able to hand over the required sum of £100,000 immediately. The humiliated bank asked asked for time to pay while the bullion was shipped from Sydney. Several days passed before he was advised the money was available. Taking a dozen employees as guards and porters, EALES drove his bullock wagon to the main door of the bank and to the amazement of the onlookers, personally supervised the checking of the money bags onto the wagon and to the cheers of the wondering crowd, proceeded to drive his bullocks to the Bank of New South Wales branch, 100 yards down the street and opened a new account, the cash deposit being the largest on record at that time from a private individual.

"Fortunes Earned and Fortunes Lost" .... John EALES was born at Ashburton in England on 28th March, 1799. He traveled to NSW having spent a short time in Hobart Town where he arrived in August 1823, and with introductory letters to the Governor was granted 2,100 acres of land near Morpeth where he established the property known as Berry Park, becoming one of the first settlers on the Hunter River. He became known as the 'One-man Settler' as he had only one servant, a free man who had come with him from England. EALES worked tirelessly to build up his property, clearing 200 acres and planting it with wheat. The estate became one of the finest in the district, by 1831 yielding 10,000 bushels. He built giant iron tanks to store the grain and to overcome problems of rats, they being possibly one of the first silos in the colony. He consequently was able to buy grain at low prices, store it and then sell it when the market was high. He became interested in grazing and increased his holdings by purchase and squattage and gradually became the owner of a number of stations on the Liverpool Plains, stocking them from his now prime flock on Berry Park. By the end of the 1830's he had realised the importance of shipping to the burgeoning district because of the poor reliabilty of the then available transport, and in 1839 he called a meeting of influential businessmen at the old Royal Hotel in Sydney. As a result, the Hunter River Steam Navigation Company was established with capital of £40,000 and EALES as one of the principal shareholders and a director. A year later, the company was operating three small steamships, the Rose, Thistle and Shamrock, between Sydney, Morpeth and Moreton Bay. He built a dry dock on his property for use by the company's vessels. In the early 1840's he became the pioneer pastoralist in the Maryborough district of Queensland with a flock of 20,000 sheep, planning to settle this area and form a station. This was a setback for EALES, his losses in stock and men from altercations with the Aborigines and difficulties with supplies making him abandon this undertaking. In the 1840's, when the demand for meat was low, he established a boiling down works on his property, the first of its type privately owned. He sold only the amount of tallow required to cover expenses, storing the balance in his own warehouses. He cashed in on the demand created by the Crimean War, selling tallow to the British Government for £87 a ton. Against the prevailing feelings of the colony at the time, he supported the promotion of immigration, bringing out a number of Chinese to work on his estate and promoting the immigration of Indian labourers to the colony. He had purchased property at Minmi, much to the concerns of his friends, as it appeared to have no value as grazing country and they foresaw another catastrophe like his foray into Queensland, however he had purchased one of the richest coal seams in the Newcastle district and proceeded to exploit it, in defiance of the Australian Agricultural Company's monopoly on coal mining at the time, the coal mines being known as the Duckenfield Collieries. He built an officially sanctioned railway line from the mines to the great Northern Trunk line at Hexham to service them, from there the coal was tipped into Eales' own steamers and sent to Sydney. About 1859, Eales sold the mine and railway to James and Alexander BROWN, bringing him great wealth and setting the BROWN's up as the largest private coal mine owners in the colony. By the early 1850's he had acquired over 16,000 acres of freehold land in the Maitland district, and owned over 27 stations in various parts of the colony, but in 1853-54 sold many of these properties and began to build the mansion, Duckenfield Park House, on the property purchased for £2,000, adjoining Berry Park. Prior to this he had constructed a number of other dwellings, one being originally for his brother, known as "Berry Pomeroy House". This remained in the Eales family for more than 100 years and today is known as "Berry House". John Eales never aspired to public life as did so many of his contemporary landowners, E.C. CLOSE having him removed from the local Council for not attending meetings. John EALES died at Duckenfield in April, 1871, one of the wealthiest men in New South Wales, passing his property to his eldest son, John EALES Jnr. He was actively interested in horse racing and in 1833 organised the first race meeting to be held in the Hunter River district. A hunt club was also sponsored by him and he built a private racecourse and bred blood stock on the property, owning some of the best racehorses in the colony, the estate becoming well known as a stud under his son's management. [Maitland Tourism : July 1997] We, the undersigned, Tenants of the late John EALES Esq. of Duckenfield, wish hereby to testify our esteem for him as a kind and generous landlord, and to record our high appreciation of his ready assistance to us in times of distress, more especially in flood times. His forgiveness to his tenants of a years rent after the flood of 1867 will ever be remembered with gratitude. In expressing our thankfulness for his kindness to us, we sympathise with his family in the loss they have sustained - a loss which we also, as his tenants, feel deeply.

Hello Listers, Seeing things have been quiet for a while, perhaps SKS would be able to help me. My family connections are through Sarah Peulett and William Dixon. Apparently they met while in the employ of John Grono. I have been told that the Grono property was on or near a creek called "Peulett Creek". Presumably the land grant of James Peaulett (Sarah's father) was nearby. I believe Grono bought 25 acres of Peaulett's land in 1827. This is all I know, but I would love to hear of any more details of life on the Grono property, where is it located and adjoing properties, or if I'm really lucky some details of a Grono/Peaulet connection.

Hi Anne, Thanks for your reply. My connection with Craft is a tentative one, through one of his wives, Sarah Robinson (Earl Cornwallis 1801). Sarah had a daughter from a previous association with James Peulett (Scarborough 1788) also named Sarah. The daughter Sarah also married twice. The second marriage was to William Dixon (Tottenham 1818). They met, we think, at the property of John Grono - a famous figure in the Windsor area I believe - he assigned, she as a servant. Their youngest daughter Eliza married James William Ferguson of Mangrove Creek. His father John Ferguson arrived Asia in 1820, and a great many of his family came later, free. John married Harriet Forner and had a number of children, two of whom married into the Chaseling family, who also have an association with Craft I think. John Ferguson had an affair with Sarah Bridge (nee Woodbury), Agnes Bridge was the product of that union. This same Sarah had associations (and children) to Edward Craft, James Purvey and Joseph Bridge - got around that girl! Back to Eliza and James Ferguson - their daughter Lucilla J. Ferguson married William Raycraft Baker (hails from William Baker, Neptune 1790), their son Frank Henry Baker is my grandfather. Around this time the family is at Grafton. So there you have it. Not much in common, but if there is anything more you would like to know about any of it, let me know. I have some maps of land grants and that sort of thing around Mangrove creek. On the off chance that your relative can help, I would kill for any information on Harriet Forner, married to both John Ferguson (as above) and William Douglass.

Dear all I am going to be away for home for a week or so from Wednesday, plus have a lot of other things on at present, so I will be unsubscribing from the list for a few weeks as of Monday. I hope that I don't miss anything too interesting whilst I am 'away'! Those of you who know my particular interests James FERRIS England 1826 and his wife Mary Ann REILLY / TURNBULL / FERRIS (came free Orpheus 1826) and her interesting family connections, along with John NORRIS Eden 1840 and his famine orphan wife Mary MULCAHY / MCCOY William and Mary 1849, feel free to email me during this time. I really enjoy keeping up with my Aussie side, but what with 'work' workload, and my present research / editing workload of Dad's memoirs at present (Tolaga Bay, NZ 1914-1946 - but covering a much wider span than that), I can't keep up with it all. I'll be back! Stephen Donald Email: stephen.donald@paradise.net.nz

Hello Bev, I always check the ending of an email incase a family name comes up that I am familiar with. In this case it is Craft, who have married into the Bridge, Medhurst,Woodbury families. These families are very distantly connected to mine. My family of Sweeney/Gillespie. Thomas arrived on "Regalia" 1826, Mary Gillespie arrived on the "Southworth" free with her 2 aunts Mary Gillespie and Mary Fleming and their respective children (4 each). Mary Gillespie 2nr was the wife of Dominick Gillespie, "Asia" 1825, and their daughter Mary married James Perry "Isabella". One of Mary and James's daughters is connected with the Bridge/Craft line. Email me off list and I will give you the email of a distant relative who can give you more information, I also would be interested in swapping pedigree's with you.
