Stephen and Hannah Sheather were assisted in their emigration in 1839 to the Hunter region by A.DACE initially. The property he owned or leased was named Elderslie. Later the Sheathers worked on a property owned by a D. DICKSON. Does any lister know of books or articles which provide some historical details about either or both of these men and their Hunter Valley properties? Reg & Catherine Philps [email protected]
