Note: Joseph and Emma lived near Aiken Road in a house of hewn sandstone blocks, possibly quarried from an outcrop nearby on present Forestry land. The house was in the common fashion of a 4-roomed structure with front verandah and with a separated kitchen at the back. Up until 1977 the two parts of the house had never been joined. The stone remained, despite a scorching bushfire in the early years of the 20th century. It has since been demolished. Joseph lived here until his death. Joseph and Emma raised a family of 10 children, and tended a large orchard there.

Note: Emma's husband Joseph died suddenly at the Volunteer Hotel at Parramatta. The Sydney Morning Herald, reporting the death, wrote that a few misunderstood words had been spoken between one Thomas Appleby and Joseph Bellamy while having a few drinks and 'caught hold of one another and had a hugging bit of a wrestle'. They were told to ease off, and 'they let go of one another. Bellamy stepped back as though to sit down on a chair, when it seemed his legs were giving away on him.' He fell lightly and lay dead on the floor. His widow stated that a fortnight before his death he had a bad cold and cough. It was at this same time he met his brother Zadok, and complained to him that he 'had been very ill after playing cricket' a day or so ago. Up until then, Joseph had been in very good health.

Joseph died intestate. The land was therefore divided equally between his widow and ten children. In 1899, Emma was empowered to sell the property of 70 acres and the proceeds were divided amongst the family. Emma and her two sons, Mark and Lewis, combined their proceeds and bought Lot 1 of the Estate, which contained the house and 29 acres.

Lot 2 containing 30 acres was purchased by Charles Franks, orchardist from Carlingford, and Lot 3 containing 28 acres by Elizabeth Plomer.

In 1978, seventh generation Bellamys still lived on part of the first grant.

Subdivision plans have created two suburban streets across the old farm. They are now known as Ann William Drive and Bellamy Farm Road.
