Grateful thanks Annette for these ongoing postings of yours from old Mudgee newspapers. It is so exciting when one finds their ancestor's name in one of your contributions! The above edition gave me some more 'flesh for the scant bones' of my ancestor John MOSS. Thank you! I also have an interest in a few of the other names you listed - George WHALE £1 (also spelt as WHALEY in other records), Wm. HUTCHINSON £1, William SIMPSON £1, Rev. J. GUNTHER £1 and G H & A B COX (unclaimed cattle) £6. These are known to have interacted in the life of my John MOSS in different ways. Cheers, Jeannine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Annette Piper" <annette.piper@bigpond.com> To: <AUS-NSW-PILLIGA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 08, 2003 1:13 PM Subject: Western Post 18 December 1861 - Another Subscription List From Western Post & Mudgee Newspaper, 18 December 1861: Mudgee Hospital 1861 List of Subscriptions and Donations <snip> John MOSS £1 Rev.
