Occupation
|
Text: John was granted 65 acres at Sackville in 1808, having proved himself a capable farmer at Concord. In 1805, John made news by taking only two days to deliver to Sydney twelve bushells of wheat in a little open boat. although many of the farmers in his area were troubled by aborigines, John seemed to have been left in peace, and built up the reputation of a reliable and hard-working man. He was chosen by Marsden during the 1806 flood to act as constable for the area. Three years later, he gained a spirits licence and ran a small inn which he later sold to Cyrus Doyle when he moved upriver. He and his family moved to Wilberforce, where he subscribed to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge and Benevolence. He continued to prosper and in 1818 took over the selling of meat and liquor in the Macdonald Valley. Although John and his wife did not leave the Hawkesbury area, some of the family moved into the Hunter region. |
