• Notes

  BOOKPAGE: Page 69, Level 8 ----------------------------------------------------- John (1760-1826), the eldest-surviving son of George from his first marriage to Martha Roberts, went into partnership with his father, building & then working two fulling mills at Brownhill Lane, Cartworth. On John’s death, in 1826, he left both of his fulling mills, known as Upper Brown Hill Mill and Lower Brown Hill Mill, and various lands in Cartworth and Holme townships to his seven sons – James (1784 - 1845), Joshua (1788 - 1858), Jonathan (1790 - 1866), Thomas (1794 - 1874), George (1798 - 1866), John (1799 - ) and William (1803 - 1853). To his three daughters, Sarah (1782 - ), Hannah (1792 - 1869) and Nancy (1804 - 1852), John left to each of them the sum of one thousand pounds sterling. The seven sons prospered, some eventually retiring on their savings and titling themselves “gentlemen”, as befitted men of leisure who no longer performed necessary work. In national elections they voted – to a man – as men of property, for the Tory candidate. Perhaps the easiest way to understand this very large family is, first, through the offspring of John, all of them generation nine. Readers will note a large Australian branch. Almost half of this line now has roots in that country. It all began with the emigration of three cousins – Mark (1813 - 1899), son of Joshua, who went to Moyston in the State of Victoria in 1852; William (1832 - 1916), son of Thomas, who settled in Encounter Bay, South Australia in 1855; followed by Ben (1835 - 1889), son of George, who made his home first in Millicent, South Australia in the late 1850s. They were later followed by two nephews, Albert (1852 - 1915), who settled in Victor Harbor, South Australia in 1876 and George Alfred (1860 - 1897), a younger brother of Albert, who went to live in Koolunga.
