Hello Karen, I have the following information for you from my book "Land Grants 1788-1809 - a record of registered grants and leases in NSW; VDL and NI" published by the Australian Document Library circa 1981. First off, in some of the grants he must have been recorded somewhere as "Cheap", Thomas as the index in the above book says "Cheap, Thomas see Chipp, Thomas". 1795 - BOOK 1A (Grants by William Patterson) No 471 - 5/9/1795 - Thomas Cheap (and 7 others) Granted 200 acres on the River Hawkesbury in the district of Mulgrave Place. Rent 4/- per year commencing after 5 years. >From other information in the book - I'm not sure whether these men had 25 acres each (ie separately) or held the 200 acres in common. This grant is part of the "Missing Land Grants" register/s - research about which is published in "Historical Studies Australia and New Zealand" Vol 5 pages 68-78 and pages 278-287. This was probably published circa 1951. The 8 men were: Chipp (Cheap), Thomas Briton, William Girdlestone, Robert Hooper, John Lee, James Loveday, Edward Sulivan (sic) Daniel White, James 1795 - Book 1A (Grants by Governor Hunter). No 484 - 15/10/1795 - Thomas Chipp Leased 60 acres on Norfolk Island. Rent £3 per year for 14 years commencing from 28 November, 1791. (Yes, 1791 is not a typo - looks like he and others had to pay some back rent - so he might have been there in 1791). 1795 - Book 2B (Grants by Governor Hunter) No 550 - 15/10/1795 - Thomas Chipp This is a duplication of the entry no. 484 in Book 1A. (Must have been 2 books going at the one time). 1795 - Book 3C (Grants by Governor Hunter) No 940 - 12/3/1800 - Joseph Foveaux Granted 600 acres in the district of Toongabbie. Rent 5 shillings per year commencing afer 5 years. "This ground was granted to John Hayes and Thomas Chipp, (two Non-commisioned Officers in the Marines and for their families; and purchased by the person in whose name the grant is made out (presumably Joseph Foveaux). This, together with two other grants of 980 acres and 190 acres (all three being included under the common name of "Stock Farm") sold to Mr John McArthur for £500 stg and the grants together with the deed of sale abovementioned given back to the Crown for land in the County of Camden, is destroyed this 30th May, 1823. (Signed) F Goulburn. NOTE. I can find no record in my book of land being granted to either Thomas Chipp or John Hayes in the Toongabbie district.. 1804 - Book 3c (Grants by Governor King) No 1173 - 4/6/1800 - Thomas Chipp. Granted 100 acres in the district of Bankstown. Rent: 3 shillings per year commencing after 5 years. 1809 - Book 4d (All land grants and leases Oct-Dec 1809). No 1718 - 24/11/1809 - Thomas Chipp 100 acres at Minto. The book doesn't say whether this was a lease or a grant. Nor does it say anything about rent.

Hi Joan, I would appreciate if you could let me know if there was a reference to my PJ convict Alexander McCabe in your book, please? Kind regards, Susan.
