Occupation	Farmer after 1827 (aged 32 years) Hawkesbury, New South Wales, Australia Source: Cliffe, Greg, 'Robert Vincent Eather's descendants' email to Marion Purnell, May 04 2010 Text: On his leased property during the period 1828-1829 he increased his stock from 20 cattle and six horses to 100 cattle, 11 horses and 40 pigs. The family had been living at George Street Windsor until 1829 when Robert and his family moved to their Cornwallis farm where a house was built. Whilst his family was at Cornwallis, Robert spent a brief time in Tasmania presumably in the company of Jonathan Griffiths, an old family friend who had come to the colony around the same time as Robert's father and who was engaged in business in Launceston. In 1830 Robert wrote a memorial to Lieutenant Ralph Darling: To His Excellency, Lieut. General, Ralph Darling, Captain General and Governor in Chief. The humble Memorial of Robert Eather Most Respectfully sheweth Robt. Eather That your Memoralist begs to apologize for the liberty he takes in making this intrusion upon Your Excellency's time, but it having been intimated to him that Your Excellency is about [to] further the views of the Native born, by an endowment of certain portions of Land. Your Memorialist begs to inform Your Excellen[cy] that he is a Native of the Colony 34 years of Age Married to a Native, and has a Family of 6 young Children to support. Your Memorialist resides at the Cornwalli[s] upon a Farm of 60 Acres, paying a rental of £- Sterling p[er] Annum, the whole of which is in cultiva[tion] and upon which he has by his own exertions bu[ilt] a comfortable dwelling and out houses. Your Memorialist Ten Years ago received [a] Grant of Land from Governor Macquarie, but from the remoteness of its situation being at -itti- your Memorialist was not enabled to cultivate it, b[ut] he exchanged the same for Cattle, and he trusts that this may not act as a barrier to his receiving Your favou[r] Your Excellency may be pleased to confer upon him. Your Memorialist is possesses of 100 head of Horned Cattle, 11 Horses and 40 Pigs for the Keep of which he is at considerable expense, in short far beyond what his income will allow. Your Memorialist therefore for the sake of his rising Family, for whose future prospects he is naturally anxious entreats your Excellency to lend a favourable ear to his prayer by including him among those to whom it is your Excellency's intention to confer a Grant of Land, your memorialist flattering himself that his Character being generally known to be that of an industrious and Striving man will be of some avail in your Excellency's estimation, and your memorialist as in duty bound will ever Pray 17th Decr 1829. I certify that I have known Memorialist these twenty years past and that his Statement of his Family and Stock I believe to be very Correct also that he is a sober industrious man. Wm. Cox. I certify that the statement of the Memorialist to be true. Josef Onus. I certify that this statement of the Memorialist to be true. Robert Williams [his mark] By 1839 the family was at Richmond after Robert had obtained a six year lease on the farm of Jonathan Griffiths from the beginning of 1836 and taking as wards three of Griffith's orphaned grandchildren as part of the arrangement. (The children's father had been killed in a fall from a horse in 1826 and their mother had died in 1829 after remarrying in 1828). In Dec 1840 he bought 100 acres at North Richmond for £70. Six months later he purchased adjoining blocks of 40 acres and 30 acres. The family's permanent address was now on the 170 acres at North Richmond. Robert regularly made the long journey to Liverpool Plains with his sons Thomas, James, Robert and Abraham. Robert also used land between the Colo River and the Bulga Road and later leased an area near Howes Valley. He also at various times leased land in the far north west of NSW.
