The John Ovens who died in 1825 was Major John Ovens after whom the Ovens river in Victoria is named. Part of the final paragraph in the 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' article on him reads "Several writers have confused Major Ovens with Lieutenant John Ovens, also in the 57th regiment at that time. Georgina Ovens was the wife of the lieutenant, and not of the major, who divided his estate among his brothers and sister." The footnote reads: HRA (1) 11-15; Sydney Gazette, 13Dec. 1825; Truth (Syd), 4 July 1909; Army Lists, 1821-25. The article was written by E.W. Dunlop.I think this can be found on the internet.
