Hi Noeleen, from Robert Spreadborough & Hugh Anderson (1983) Victorian Squatters. GLENMORE By Tender Gazetted Aug 29 1851 James BELL 1857 Jul 20 Unoccupied 1859 Jan 1 Patrick AITKEN (Resumed by Tender) 1864 Sep James QUIN 1875 Jun 10 William LEWIS of Moyhu 1881 Mar 31 Forfeited from Ian Jones (1995) Ned Kelly. A Short Life. "....James QUINN was paying £2000 for Glenmore run on the King River - a realm of 20000 acres so wild that it could carry only 400 cattle. Ned KELLY's grandfather had become a squatter, cattle king of a 'remote and lofty monarchy'." "The spectacular crag, The Rock, which crowned the spur more than 1000 feet above Glenmore and commanded an eagle's view of the King Valley in both directions, became known as Power's Lookout." from Government Gazette 10 Dec 1869 Run - Glenmore Occupier - James QUIN Amount payable for half-year ending 31st Dec 1869 - £25 Benalla Ensign, Saturday April 29, 1871 "The rents of the following runs in the Benalla District have been fixed as follows: Glenmore, J QUIN, £66 13s 4d..." I can also send you a jpg image (~200kb) that locates Glenmore in relation to the other runs around the area if you want it.
