Glebe relates to land belonging to the church, and was used to support the church by way of rents & leases etc. In your case it was owned by the Church of England in Windsor although the land was situated in Wilberforce. A new parish was established in 1825 which covered the Pitt Town, Wilberforce and Sackville areas and services were then held on a more regular basis in these areas. There is an article in the Sydney Gazette 6 Feb 1828 p. 4 - regarding the sale of some glebe lands, including Windsor - you can access on the Historic Australian Newspapers website at http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home Try and access an early map of Wilberforce and then identify the names mentioned. It will probably be close to the Church/Cemetery and Common. I checked the parish maps which are online at http://www.lands.nsw.gov.au/survey_maps/maps_and_imagery/parish_maps but they do not have a town map scanned, you can check the parish map and see if that may help. The Index to Col Sec records which you have your original reference may have information under WILBERFORCE. There are also some records held by State Records regarding the Church of England and they relate to the establishment of particular church and schools. You would have to search their catalogue to obtain the correct series, and these are records that you will have to access at State Records, Kingswood. They may assist. BTW if you have access to the book "Early Days of Windsor" by James Steele, there is map in the back dated 1835. It shows the area around the St. Matthew's Church of England Rectory and it is called "Glebe House and lands".
