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.

Thanks Malcolm, I'd often wondered about him - I believe from his diaries he got around!
