We have been unable to find when and how he came to australia.He had money,bought land and kept race horses, He married in 1842 Sophia Windsor he was 24 years old.Family stories have that he had two brothers. Family names are William and Thomas which have been used through the generations.There aren't many of us,and we were told through the years that we didn't have any relatives in Tasmania
