Hillsborough Maria Stone statement 1885 I, Maria Stone, 14 yrs in Sept next am in 6th class, in which I have been since last examination, we have in Geography learnt our Rivers, Mountains, Lakes and Towns of Victoria and New South Wales, but in the 5th learnt the towns of Africa and America under Mr Jamieson. Remember Violet Anderson coming into the school when Mrs Anderson took charge and of her coming in when the servant was doing the work till Xmas, not as often afterwards, nearly every day, did not come in so often before Xmas as she did after.She sat in the gallery or near me or was running about the school. Rosetta Paul used to come sometimes, sat with her sister, or in the gallery but sometimes ran about the school. Have seen Violet misconduct herself near the hat room door and near the gallery in school, but twice in school time just before Xmas. Noticed that Amelia Ralph did the same last week. My sister was for four months with Mrs Anderson as servant and told me that she scrubbed the schoolroom out once in that time - often on Monday for several Mondays running the room had dirt under the seats and gallery that could be swept out, so it had not been scrubbed. Have never seen anyone scrubbing it when I came on Saturdays with the milk to Mrs Anderson. To Mrs Anderson - Have seen you sweeping the school out two or three times every week when I brought the milk. Saw what Violet did as I sat in my seat, two or three times by the hat room door once inside the room, never inside anywhere else. I do not know if Mrs Anderson knew about what happened in the hat room. Maria Stone. This mess remained for two or three days, just outside the door on more than one occasion. Maria Stone

Hello Bev, have one Forsyth who married into the Witham family ,they are from Omeo but at the moment l can't seem to find as soon as l do will send you the information. Kerry in Cranbourne

Hi Wendy, Yes, I do have a little incidental information on the Stone family of Hillsborough ('little' Maria married Richard Milne). Maria's father was Brainerd Heber Stone, an American. Maria's mother was 'big' Maria Stone, and her honestly was called into question by some of the other women. Do you already have Brainerd Stone's obituary? He died in 1895 and is buried at Yack. This is a statement by Brainerd Josiah Stone in 1885 (young brother of Maria) Brainerd Stone statement 1885 Inspector Rix gets statements from the school pupils. I, Brainard Stone, 11 years in July next, am in the 4th class. When bringing the milk in the morning have seen on Saturday Mrs Anderson mopping the school out, about twice in the month - have never seen a scrubbing brush used, Mrs Anderson stood up all the time. Have never on other mornings seen Mrs Anderson sweeping the room out - the room looked each morning as if it had not been swept. Have seen Percy and Violet Anderson often running about the room every day, never any other child. Have seen Rosetta Paull sometimes running about. Mess was made by the hat room door, it took place two or three times a week. It took place where I am standing about three weeks ago. Brainard Stone Emma Anderson - Mrs Maria Stone (Part of a letter from teacher Emma Anderson, to Inspector Rix) Hillsborough Mary 12th 1885 H.Rix, Esq. Sir, I take the liberty of writing and hope it may not reach you too late for your report - Dear, Sir, I think even you will allow that in common justice when the children's word is accepted against the Teacher's at least you should know something of the parents so as to judge somewhat of the home training. The chief witnesses against me yesterday were the Stones and their parents are not respectable even. Mr Ralph was a fellow servant of Mrs Stones years ago and in her own language she said "Its well known Stone is not married to her, he can't if he would for she's married already to a man called Noonan - was last heard of at Chiltern. Her children and his are all in the Industrial Schools and she sometimes gets letter from there addressed through this Office to Maria Noonan, but she took up with two or three men before she picked up with Stone and she's stuck to him." I think a good one to prove that assertion to your satisfaction is Mr Frank Vale who has been here among them for ten years. I don't know him in the least but it does seem so hard to have my character taken away by those who have none to lose, that I shall try to prove the truth of my statements yesterday in every possible way. I could not prove what I did not know, and although suspecting falsehood it was quite impossible for me to guess the nature of it. I wrote to Mr Jamieson to engage a servant for me as the one I had in Gippsland would not come so far away. He engaged Amelia Stone, at 6/- per week. Mr Wilberforce, an old resident of Hillsborough (of I think 28 years) met me at Beechworth, and brought me out here. While on the road he told me the girl I was getting was a bird from a bad nest. I afterwards learned by Mrs Ralph and Mrs McGowan coming to interview me the 1st Sunday I was here what he meant.....................

Will delve further soon Wendy and see what I get on the tree. It's a line I've not ventured down yet. Whilst I have the main 'players' on the Haeffner tree, I've not spent any time doing generation 3 and 4 really.

Hey, it is great to have so many on the List again. We just needed a little nudge and it is off  and running again.   Sadly I haven't seen anyone interested in the Sloan and Forsyth names yet.  Is there anyone still in interested in the pioneers of Benambra?

Hi Denise, My LYNCH was John George born in Limerick. He married Jessie Maud MILNE. Their children were Elizabeth 1904, John 1906, Doreen 1908, Marjorie 1911, and Dorothy 1914. I think they must have moved to Melbourne some time after their marriage. Unfortunately I do not have any details of John LYNCH's parents. Maybe your J. LYNCH??? Jessie was born in 1877 so I guess he was some time before that (they always seemed to marry a slightly younger wife......). I am not much help, am I?

Hi Hec, Great to hear from you - it's nice to know you are still lurking around the HC list! You are still one of my heroes after all the effort you put in to help restore Robert MILNE's grave. Have you even had a look at the Edward MILNE/Ellen ALCOCK family? Do you think there was some terrible genetic problem - why didn't any of them marry????? Mind you, I don't know about Robert born 1872 in Myrtleford as I can't find any marriage or death record for him. Can you assist please?

Chris/Wendy, Wonder if either of you know more on the Lynch family. Since sending the email to Wendy a few minutes ago I have found that Daniel Lynch - father of my connection - ran a punt across the Mitta River at the junction of the Tallangatta Ck. he also had a public house at Tatonga. His punt was near Matthews pub (Thomas and Mary) (???Chris, this yours?) Dan also was involved in the first public meeting for a cemetery in Tallangatta. He eventually was a farmer (Vic Post Office Directory 1884) at Jarvie Creek, then left for Euroa, dying in 1895. Martin the son, my connection, went onto to work for Drying and Dyring, along with J Lynch (don't know a connection yet) - a daughter still lives in the UMurray. Denise

LYNCH, hi Wendy I know very little about this line of my Haeffner family. Martin William A. Lynch born 1893 Tallangatta married Flora Margaret Haeffner in 1927. Martin died 16/6/1962 at Spring C. I only know of one child so far a daughter. When MARTIN died his mother was listed by the name of his wife> He was son of Daniel Lynch and Maria Walsh Denise

Wendy - will check my Lynch family later and get back to you I have a large northeast family only one who married an older man and had one child who died at 21 years - so Idon't think there are any descendants of the SHERRY family of Beechworth/Black Springs today. A couple died young, but the others survived to adulthood. Why, why didn't they marry!
