Hi Ray > My particular interest is the MAJORS CREEK / BRAIDWOOD area, a look at > our Home Page may explain my motives. Welcome to the list. Do you know if there are any original buildings on what was Major Elrington's grant still standing? I am a descendent of his and have found conflicting stories regarding his home at Mt Elrington. A have tons of information on the Elrington home in Worcester (which is still standing and dates from pre 889), but very little on the Braidwood home.
