<b> I am proud of my convict ancestor - Captain John Macdougall (1781 - 1845)</b></h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In times past people were ashamed of having a convict ancestor, but these days it is something to be proud of. Having read my Grandpa's diaries there was no indication that he was aware his Great Grandfather was a convict. With opportunities these days to do research I have discovered the "truth".<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>There was a book written by Walter Cummin Macdougall in 1914</b> <b>"Family History of the Macdougalls" (1783-1914)</b>. Walter was the grandson of (Captain) John Macdougall - our Convict. Walter writes about his Grandfather being a Sea Merchant and sailing the seas to eventually end up in Van Diemen's Land in 1821. He secured land and sent for his family.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Reality is that (Captain) John Macdougall was tried in the Supreme Court of Admiralty in Edinburgh, Scotland on 12 May 1821 and given a Life Sentance. He was transported on "Lord Hungerford", departing England 1 July 1821 and arriving Hobart Town 26 December 1821.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
(Captain) John Macdougall, having being involved in a complicated court action over the insurance of a small vessel sunk in the North Sea in 1815, he was accused of "sinking a ship". He pleaded his innocency.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<b>(Captain) John Macdougall was given a "Conditional Pardon" on 15 September 1834 </b>(see letter written 24 January 1825 requesting a "Free Pardon"). With a conditional pardon one is technically free, but could not leave the Colony until the expiry of his original sentence imposed (Life!).<br />
<br />
<b>(Captain) John Macdougall was granted a "Free Pardon" on 6 September 1835.</b> Free Pardon means forgiving someone of a crime. This however did not allow him the freedom to return to his homeland of Scotland (see letter written requesting this on 13 September 1836).<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>According to the book</b> <b>"Family History of the Macdougalls" (1783-1914) by Walter C. Macdougall, </b>(Captain) John Macdougall's father was <b>Sir John Macdougall</b> (1760-1811) who had acquired considerable wealth by mercantile speculations and by investments made in some large distillery establishments in Scotland. <b>John, the son,</b> was educated with the view to him eventually becoming a lawyer, or what is termed in Scotland a "Writer of the Signet". His father died before he had completed his studies, and the management and responsibility of his father's affairs having suddenly devolved upon him, he resolved to relinquish the profession of the law and devote his attention to mercantile pursuits with a view to carrying out to completion the speculations which his father had already begun, the best and most certain return for capital already invested. He came into contact with owners and builders of ships and he soon became the proprietor of several vessels, bearing to and from various parts of the world the staple commodities of the countries with which his vessels traded.</div>
<br />
During the years 1811-1815, when Great Britain was busily engaged in the Peninsula War, and all available regiments were in active requisition, the formation of militia regiments as a means of security at home was a matter of great solicitude to the British Government and the <b>1st Company of the Royal Lanarkshire Local Militia was commanded by</b> <b>Captain John Macdougall.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Captain John Macdougall wrote to the Duke of York</b> (the then Commander-in-chief), offering to bring his company into active service in the Peninsula, provided his Sovereign would sanction his retaining on entering the regular service, the same rank he held in the Militia (Captain). The Duke thanking him for his patriotic and liberal offer, cheerfully accepted his proposal with the provision that in accordance with the rules of the service, he commence his military service as an Ensign- promising him, however, as rapid promotion as was possible. John was anxious to accept these terms but was dissuaded from doing so by his wife who was fast increasing the family.<br />
<br />
(Captain) John Macdougall continued his persuits as a Merchant. In consequence of the long continuance of war, and the injury it inflicted then and long afterwards on commerce, the losses sustained by merchants were many and heavy. He among others, had his full share and when peace came despite his perseverance and care, his responsibilities were increasing while his resourses were diminishing and that he must take a giant stride to regain his property and convert all his foreign securities into cash with a view to some new field of action where there would be less competition and surer prospect of profitable investment.<br />
<br />
<b>(Captain) John Macdougall was still a Merchant in 1820</b>, reflected in the following: "John Macdougall, Merchant, and Davinia Campbell McGibbon has a lawful son named William James, born on the twenty-fourth day of March, One Thousand Eght Hundred and Twenty Years".<br />
Witnesses: Alexander and Dougall McDougall.<br />
<br />
During the next two years John strove patiently to await a return of good fortune, calling on all debts, and realising on as much of his property as possible. About this time his eldest son <b>John Campbell Macdougall</b> (born 1804 or 1805) entertained an aversion to the Scottish Par, for which profession his education at the Edinburgh and Glasgow Universities was intended to fit him, so John devoted all his leisure time to the preparation of his son's mind for commercial life in order to enable him to act as his representative in all instances in which the exigencies of business might call him away. About this time, John Campbell Macdougall had scarcely attained his 19th year when <b>his father set sail in one of his remaining vessels to Rio Janeiro</b>, he proceeded to the <b>Cape of Good Hope</b> where he stayed a longer time than elsewhere, his business with that place being of a more complicated character than he had evidently anticipated. While at the Cape, his anxiety to discover new fields for commercial enterprise led to enquiries about the British Colonies (then in their infancy) and from information he obtained he decided to continue his journey to the <b>Mauritius </b>and thence <b>Australia</b>, for the purpose of ascertaining by personal observation the extent of its advantages and resourses. On his arrival in the Australian Colonies he found every encouragement for enterprise, and a brilliant prospect held out for the investment of capital. He secured land and having otherwise arranged for the disposal of his capital to advantage, he sent for his family who were conducted out under the protection of his eldest son now of age.<br />
<br />
This last paragraph as written in the book and obviously passed down through the next 5 generations is a "cover-up" of the truth because in 2005 I discovered that in fact <b>Captain John Macdougall was a convict and came to Australia on "Lord Hungerford", arriving in Tasmania on 26 December 1821. </b>It appears<b> John Macdougall's wife Davinia came to Hobart, Tasmania with their 7 children sometime between 1822 -1825.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Now for some facts! </b><br />
<br />
<b>(Captain) John Macdougall </b>was born in Buteshire, Burgh of Rothsay on the Isle of Bute, Scotland in 1781. He died on 17 November 1845 in Hobart, Tasmania. <b>John Macdougall married Davinia Campbell McGibbon</b> (born 5 November 1778 in Inveraray And Glenaray, Argyll, Scotland and died 21 September 1861 in Clarence, Hobart, Tasmania) in 1803.<br />
<br />
<b>Together they had 7 children:</b><br />
<b>John Campbell Macdougall </b>(born 1804/1805 in Scotland and died 21 July 1848 in Hobart, Tasmania). <b>John married Mrs S.Whyte nee Sarah Oakes</b> (1796 - 1830) on 31 May 1825 in St David's Cathedral, Hobart, Australia.<b> </b>They had a daughter <b>Davinia Sarah Campbell Oakes Macdougall </b>(born 1826 and died 1872). <b> </b><br />
<b>Sarah died 29 December 1830 and John married Mary Annie Butler </b>(born 1817 and died 1857 in St Kilda, Victoria) in St James Church, Sydney, in 1834 and they had 7 children, the youngest being born 10 weeks after his father's death. <b>John Campbell Macdougall</b> (born 10 February 1836 in Hobart Town and died 1877), <b>Daniel Campbell Macdougall</b> (born 3 August 1837 in Hobart Town), <b>William James Macdougall (</b>born 25 June 1840 in Hobart Town and died 1890), <b>Emily Mary Ann Macdougall</b> (born 11 May 1842 in Hobart Town and died 1921 in Marrickville, New South Wales, Australia), <b>Archibald Butler Macdougall</b> (born 17 June 1844 in Hobart Town),<b> Stillborn son</b> (born 12 August 1847 in Hobart Town), <b>Ormond Campbell Macdougall</b> (born 2 October 1848 in Hobart Town and died 30 December 1830).<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Jessie Macdougall</b> (born 1806 in Scotland and died 4 October 1893 in Melbourne).<b> Jessie married Daniel McArthur on 21 January 1834 </b>in New Church, Cnr Brisbane & Campbell Streets, Hobart. Jessie was buried at Melbourne General Cemetery with her nephew Archibald Henry Macdougall who died 18 August 1895.<b><br /></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Daniel Macdougall </b>born 3 August 1808 in Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>William Macdougall </b>born 1812 in Scotland.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Archibald Campbell Macdougall </b>(born 26 September 1815 in Campbelltown, Argyll, Scotland and died 2 April 1870 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia).<b> Archibald married Sarah Calvert </b>(born 20 September 1815 in St Peter, Leeds, Yorkshire, England and died 10 July 1882 in Dimboola Parsonage, Victoria, Australia) <b>on 9 September 1837</b> in St David's Hobart, Tasmania. Archibald & Sarah Macdougall had 9 children (refer to another Post).<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Davinia Campbell Macdougall (</b>born 18 September 1817 in Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland).<b> Davinia married Henry Wishart </b>(born 1800 and died 7 August 1839 in Hobart) at St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Hobart on<b> 27 March 1839</b> and later <b>Thomas Stanwix</b> on <b>15 May 1847</b> at St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Hobart.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>William James Macdougall</b> (born 21 March 1820 in Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland and died 1882 in Birkenhead, Cheshire, England). <b>William married Susannah</b> (born 1825 in Middlesex, London) and they had 4 daughters, Jessie (1848), Fanny (1850), Clara (1852) & Ellen (1854), all born in England. William studied Medicine under the Colonial Surgeon until 1839 and was appointed House Surgeon to Sir John Franklin in 1840, before returning to London to study, marry and eventually work in Birkenhead, England.<br />
<br />
It appears that <b>(Captain) John Macdougall was not locked up </b>but considered a responsible citizen so was given the opportunity to use his skills in establishing the new Colony. The Macdougall family were respectable and valued citizens. They were well known for their involvement in the Printing industry. <b> (Captain) John Macdougall and his son John Campbell Macdougall were Owners and Editors of many newspapers in Tasmania from 1825 - 1848.</b> Another son <b>Archibald Macdougall</b> was a Printer in Hobart, Adelaide and Melboune, and his grandson <b>Walter C.Macdougall</b> was a Printer in Balmain, Sydney ("Balmain Observer").<br />
<br />
The book by Walter C.Macdougall <b>"Family History of the Macdougalls" (1783-1914) </b>continues to give information about (Captain) John Macdougall and his agricultural and commercial pursuits and good fortune (with some measure of truth but some cannot be substantiated as he was in fact a Convict with a Life sentence!). (Captain) John Macdougall again possessed vessels and commanded an immense trade with all the colonies and the islands in the vicinity until his enterprising spirit paved the way to a golden future. He settled in Tasmania while his eldest son visited the other colonies as his agent and conducted the consignments of the various commodities he was continually sending and receiving. It was while John C.Macdougall was residing in New South Wales in 1834 that he met Miss Mary Annie Butler, the only daughter of Captain Butler (in command of Her Majesty's frigate "Norman"). An Irish gentleman who together with his wife died almost immediately on their arrival in Australia and whose son Walter Butler was not long since Mayor of Hobart. (Further research has given us the truth about "Captain" Lawrence Butler. As an Irish Rebel Convict with a Life sentence, he arrived in Sydney on "Atlas" in 1802, married Ann Roberts, had 5 children and died 1820). John C.Macdougall and Mary Butler married in 1834 and settled in Hobart. By 1836 (Captain) John Macdougall was now able to live at ease, surrounded by his united family, rendered dear to each other by the vicissitudes of fortune, but his enterprising spirit did not stop there. He now became invested with the idea of establishing a newspaper, which should take the same standing as "The Times" in England in talent and perseverance. He was fond of exercising his mind by literary composition, and both he and his sons were possessed of considerable literary, so "Colonial Times" became a recognised institution and an acknowledged paper of merit, not only in the colonies but in England and elsewhere.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>(Captain) John Macdougall died suddenly on 17 November 1845 </b>after undergoing a surgical operation. <b>The Sheriff of the Colony (J.T.Crouch Esq) wrote: </b>"He who has gone has left proof of the exchange being a happy one, and we have the joy of spending an eternity with him. Your revered and universally beloved parent had an annerism in his left thigh and was induced to submit to an operation on the 5th November. The sufferer did apparently well for several days and Dr Officer told my good wife he had no doubt your dear father's life had been prolonged several years by his abstemious habits. About 9 days after the operation all hopes were given up, and he lingered in great and excruciating pain until the evening of Monday, the 17th November, when he breathed his last in the presence of all the members of his family, except two. He was fully sensible to the last, where I had the privilege of attending to his wants and he gave us the most delightful proofs of his hope beyond the grave, indeed his expressions and smiles were such as to induce those around his bed to silently exclaim "Let my last end be like his". He was interred in the Scotch Burial Ground on Thursday the 20th followed by a long train of mourning friends".<br />
<br />
The bulk of (Captain) John Macdougall's property was left to his eldest son John Campbell Macdougall, who was suddenly called upon to take the management of affairs. He exerted himself to the utmost to dispose satisfactorily of the property and return to Scotland, and on the eve of succeeding, when he met with an accident and shortly afterwards died of it's effects on 21 July 1848. <b></b><br />

<b>Obituary to John Campbell Macdougall in "Colonial Times" and "Tasmanian".</b><br />
Open to all - Influenced by none. This Journal is published on the evening of every Tuesday and Friday and circulates extensively throughout the Australian Colonies, India, China, Europe and America. It is regularly filed at the office of Messrs. Simmonds and Ward, General Agents, Bargo-yard, Bucklersbury, London and at the Jerusalem Coffee Palace.<b></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>July 25, 1848 -</b> "A painful duty devolves upon us, in making known to the supporters of this journal the almost sudden death of its proprietor, Mr.J.C.Macdougall. About a week previously, that gentleman had been confined to his dwelling through what was thought to be a slight indisposition, but while lying upon a couch he suddenly rolled off, and before aid could be summoned he expired, the cause being heart failure, thus having only survived his father by two years and eight months."<br />
<br />
John C.Macdougall's widow (Mary Ann Macdougall) employed labour to conduct the "Colonial Times". Some time later, John Macdougall's brother, Archibald Macdougall was enticed by Mary Ann Macdougall to leave Adelaide and return to Hobart to manage the paper, as those employed by her in its production had got the finances into a muddled state. This Archibald did, after disposing of his Adelaide property and brought the "Colonial Times" business into a state of success, but when he expected his reward - a partnership - the widow did not keep her word, and from that an estranged relationship existed between them, and Archibald threw up the management and went to Victoria.<br />
<br />
<b>Wife Mary Ann Macdougall continued with the "Colonial Times" until 1855,</b> when she married <b>Kenric Edward Brodribb</b> (born 1825 in Hobart and died 3 July 1898 in Brighton, Sussex, England), a Solicitor, on 26 February 1855. They settled in Melbourne and had a son <b>Frederic(k) William Brodribb </b>(born 7 December 1855 in St Kilda and died 24 November 1856 in St Kilda). Mary Ann Brobibb died 1 November 1857 in St Kilda from childbirth complications. She gave birth to a still born son on 25 October 1857. Both Mary Ann and Frederic(k) Brodribb are buried at St Kilda Cemetery, Melbourne. Kenric's brother William Adams Brodribb (1809-1886) was a wealthy pastoralist and politician. He was a MLA for St Kilda in 1860 and Brighton in 1868. Their father was an Attorney at Westminster. William's son, Kenric Edward Brodribb (1849-1889) inherited his father's properties.<br />
<br />
<b>A couple of interesting notes about the children of John Campbell Macdougall & Mary Ann Macdougall.</b><br />
<br />
<b>John Campbell Macdougall</b> (1836-1877) went to New Zealand and was a gold buyer for the Bank of New Zealand. Leaving that position he went to Victoria and engaged in the produce business until he pressed his claims on his stepfather for his rights to his share of his father's property. To keep him quiet Mr Brodribb gave him 500 Pounds to start a country store. He died of a similar complaint to that of his father.<br />
<br />
<b>Daniel Campbell Macdougall</b> (born 1837) after some years in commercial life in Victoria, went to India and fought through the Indian Mutuny. Afterwards he volunteered for the New Zealand was, where he fought from near the beginning to the end, sometimes under very exciting conditions, having narrow escapes.<br />
<br />
<b>William James Macdougall</b> (1840-1890) was a clever Musician and Composer of an oratorio. He went to Sydney and volunteered for service as a dragoon in the Indian Mutiny. Later he married and settled in California where he bought up a large family and was commercially successful.<br />
<br />
<b>Emily May Ann Macdougall </b>(1842-1921) was brought up by her step-father. She married John Kennedy in 1867 and John Allworth in 1877 in Melbourne and had 2 children.<br />
<br />
<b>Archibald Henry Macdougall</b> (born 1844) took to the sea, joined P&O service to China and became a Captain. 1871 English Census, Archibald was living with the Macdougalls at Birkenhead. He married Fanny Macdougall in 1878 (the daughter of William James Macdougall) but died suddenly, leaving Fanny a widow with no children.<br />
<br />
<b>Ormond Campbell Macdougall</b> (1848-1938) was born 10 weeks after his father John Campbell Macdougall died on 25 July 1848. He was probably brought up by his step-father, educated at Melbourne Grammar from1857-1863 and went to learn the pastoral business in Victoria & N.S.W. He bought sheep and cattle, managed stations, and ran steamers on the Murray, Murrumbidgee and Darling Rivers. He was elected an Alderman of Wilcannia in 1886 and Mayor of Wilcannia in 1888. <br />
<br />
<b>The widow of (Captain) John Macdougall, Davinia Macdougall, died 21 September 1861 in Clarence, Hobart, Tasmania.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
(At this point I will add that Davinia McGibbon married John Sharp (born 1775) on 7 May 1799 and they had 2 children: John Campbell Sharp born 1801 and Mary Sharp born 1803 before she married John Macdougall in Scotland in 1803).<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<i>The Petition of John Macdougall</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<i>Humbly Sheweth…</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
That the
Petitioner as owner of the Brigantine “Friends”, was Capitally tried in
Edinburgh before the Judge Admiral in May 1821 for having advised the master of
that vessel to sink her in the German ocean in the year 1816 – that the Jury
returned a verdict “guilty of the offence at Common Law” and that sentence of transportation
for life to these Colonies was passed upon the Petitioner.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
The Petitioner
was not owner of the vessel subsequent to the month of May 1814, and he denies
having given the advice imputed to him, nay he believes the vessel was fairly
lost, to which the master and mate, the infamous witnesses who appeared against
the Petitioner on his trial and (yet) all the crew swore before the constituted
authorities at the time she was lost, am as the Petitioner has the power of
appeal reserved for him before the High Court of Justiciary in Scotland, he
pledges himself as a gentleman which title he cannot give up tho at present
labouring in a miserable situation to prove to the world if it is the Will of
Providence to give him the opportunity and the means; <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>which appeal would have been made at the time
but the verdict of the Jury taking away the felony the underwriters became
creditors levied on the Petitioners estate left him penniless and his family in
want.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But thanks to the British
Government, which he has always revered and supported to the utmost of his
power, and from whom he has received such kindness not only during his
confinement in Britain but also on the passage and since he came to this
Colony, that dear, and affectionate family he hopes verily twice in this place
an order for them having been sent home last year by the Deveon Captain Wilson,
whom he trusts he will yet be able to restore to their former rank, the thing
nearest his heart as far as concerns the things of this world.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
The Petitioner
is aware that the greater proportion of those sent here are not to be believed,
but there are among them that abhors a lie, he is aware that in your honor’s
public capacity you are bound to consider all those sent here under the Law
guilty: he is also aware of the service necessary before colonial or absolute
freedom is granted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But he humbly begs
to say that there is no general rule without exception, and that although the
law is just, and good, yet in the administration, there are circumstances to
which it cannot reach, and to which some consideration is due.<br />

world as the House of John Macdougall, his other partners being Colonel John
Campbell of Achinwilline near Rothesay well known to the Governor in chief the
Petitioner thinks and Arch.MacGibbon Esq. Inveraray, both dead, so that nothing

couched in too strong language, and he being now above three years in this
colony during which period he has given no trouble to Government; he has
offered no person intentionally or to his knowledge, and humbly trusting that
his conduct has met the approbation of the Constituted authorities he ventured
to appeal to your honors goodness for so much freedom as will legalise his
industry and procure him the means of gaining the object next to his heart, the
overturning of the fabric of Villainy under which he is now lying, so soon as
his conduct will be found to justify full freedom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And your honor in this recommending the
Petitioner to his Excellency will confer a Boon on an individual where
gratitude will be as lasting, as he feels measurable in his present situation
in many respects worse than death.</span><br />

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">I am informed a
report is circulated that I am interested in the Tasmanian newspaper, with
which of course His Excellency is displeased, if the former were true I would
justly expect the latter; But as my son is Proprietor there are some grounds
for suspicion, and I therefore consider it a duty I save myself and my family
to make the following statement which I request you will have the goodness to lay
before his Excellency.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">By the most assidious
and honest industry with strict economy even parsimony, and a little borrowed
money I was enabled some years ago to purchase a piece of ground in Liverpool
Street, and build a house with the front and one end in stone which I
afterwards exchanged with Mrs. Whyte now my daughter in law for that which I
hold in Elizabeth Street. Some time after I was advised to borrow money on this
property to finish a foolishly expensive home which was formerly partly begun,
this advice I took and have since much repented. The seat of what I let not
being equal to the Demand for interest and the support of a large family I was
obliged to let the whole with a view of renting a farm and stock in the country
till I could recover myself – I therefore let my house to Mr.Howe on a lease of
3 years at 80 Pounds per annum and Mortgaged the house to meet my present
engagements - before Mr.Howe wasting in Popepion. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was reported to me that he intended to
leave the Colony and my lease unsatisfied, my patience being exhausted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I awaited upon him about fourteen days ago
and having learned the fact I desired him to find<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>. . . for the due performance of the lease –
he replied he hoped that once three Gentlemen with whom he was in treaty viz
M.Neal, M.Gillies and R..L.Murray to sell his<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>…...and would take the …. . atic, I said either of the first two would
be accepted but the last could not be a tenant of mine, some days passed but
nothing continually in a state of intoxication, in the course of this time my
called upon me to say he had been in conversation with M. Neal and had some
thoughts of purchasing the press and become my tenant if I had not objection, I
stated that I considered it improper and requested him to apply to his
Excellency for …., he replied that he had no interest and that from the
inquiries he had made he conceived there were more applicants than situations
in that quarter, and that he did not like to be idle besides he had reason to
believe he could make a livelihood with this …., but that I might not be uneasy
besides securing me a good tenant he was also assuring <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>me this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Journal would be no longer what is called an<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>opposition journal, that he would not touch
politics nor have any connection with any of its former Editors, he supposed he
had given me unequivocal proof of his friendly sentiments towards
Government.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In these circumstances I
consented to receive him in place of Howe to which my assignee in the lease has
made no objections.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To this declaration
I am confident he will honourable adhere, and I confess I feel no small
pleasure that one of my family has strove a political enemy I had almost said a
…out of the field and replaced him with a neutral if not an ally of Government,
which I humbly trust will meet his Excellencie’s approbation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">With respect to
my political sentiments they were long well known in my correspondence with the
minister Pitt and his able follower Percival and they have and never will
alter, although the shock I have lately received has rendered me unfit for any
thing else than adhering to my former principles, and these are in some measure
confirmed by a few testimonials which I took the liberty of sending his
Excellency soon after his arrival in this Colony and still remain with
him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the course of my experience I
found my four opposition papers, whose motives were not those of ambition party
spirit, in the language of spleen or disappointment; but in this Colony
ambition, disappointment and revenge, generally language for fit for
Billingsgate than a public……and are calculated to…… than edify and reform a
population the bulk of whom are already labouring under the dreadful effects of
invetrate evil habits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a word let me
assure your .. ..that there is not an individual in the Colony who is more
satisfied with, or more friendly to his Excellencies person and Government than
myself and in making this declaration I have no other motive than honesty and
truth.</span></div>

There is an interesting coincidence with regards to this property. The Macdougall's Printing Office operated from this location in 1850s. C.D.Haywood & Co. operated their biscuit business from the same location twenty five years later at 44 Melville Street, Hobart and lived next door at "Hazelmere". The lane on the right backed onto "Excelsior Steam Biscuit Factory" at 135-139 Elizabeth Street, Hobart. John Macdougall's grandson William Macdougall married Sarah Allason, the sister of Charles Haywood's wife Suzannah Allason. (Refer to Allason Family Archives Blog).</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I believe you are aware of the Location
Order for 5 acres of land at the Lower Settlement of Pittwater granted by
Lieut. Governor Sorell to one James Honey in order to establish a Punt Ferry at
that place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sent you some considerable
time ago, the papers connected therewith, which after being submitted to Mr.
Stephen were returned to Mr. Young, Solicitor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In accordance with that Order a house was built, a large garden
enclosed, several suitable boats and a large Punt provided, in short a complete
Ferry Establishment set a going.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
money required for this purpose (above 400 pounds, the Punt alone having cost
nearly 190 pounds) was furnished by my late wife and myself on the security of
the property.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Honey did not succeed and
gave it up, it was then let to George McKirdy, after him to Mr. Reed and
others, and is now occupied by a party on my account but in consequence of a
severe storm and the want of a jetty to keep the boats safe, the Punt was swept
away in the night, and at that searched for at considerable expense, could
never apparently be found.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From the want
of a Punt, the public have since been compelled to go round by the Coal River,
making the distance more than double, and the business of the Ferry has been
therefore almost lost. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I will not presume to point out to you, who
are better aware of it than myself, the great want of a proper ferry
establishment there, and the public good such would effect, but I will take the
liberty of submitting, through you, the following proposition to His Excellency
the Lieutenant Governor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">That if His Excellency will be pleased to
locate to me fifty acres of land on each side of the river, the one fifty acres
adjoining, and the other fifty acres opposite to my present five acres
allotment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I shall engage to build a
proper Jetty on the north side, houses of entertainment up each side, and
establish a Punt and other suitable boats, the Government sending a group of
men to erect a basket and rubble stone jetty on the south side.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span lang="EN-US">That your
Memorialist arrived here a Free Settler about eleven years and a half ago,
having with him a considerable capital, which he invested in business as a
Brewer, having erected that very extensive brewery establishment in Liverpool
Street, now in the management of Mr. D. McArthur for your Memorialist, and
expended altogether upwards of two thousand pounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That early in the year 1831 your Memorialist
was induced to proceed to New South Wales for the purpose of conducting a Mercantile
establishment between Sydney and this colony, which he carried on partly by
means of his own vessels, in the course of which he had the misfortune to lose
a new Schooner of one hundred tons burden, the Defiance, in an attempt to save
the cargo of the brig Courier, which was wrecked in Bass Strait in July1833,
and as the proceeding thither was a deviation from the voyage, the Insurance
was lost.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">That Your
Memorialist had deferred making application to Your Excellency for a Grant of
Land in consequence of his determination not to do so until by his industry and
application to business he had increased his capital to such an extent as
should enable him to settle upon whatever Land he might obtain and personally
devote his whole attention to its cultivation and improvement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That unfortunately during his absence at
Sydney the new Regulations took place by which, as Your Memorialist is informed
Your Excellency is prevented from the disposal of Law unless under such
circumstances, as shall induce Your Excellency to consider that the Applicant
has a fair claim for favorable consideration.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Your Memorialist
humbly submits his case to Your Excellency, and prays of Your Excellency to
bestow on him a Grant of Land equal to the means he possesses, of cultivating
and improving it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And should Your
Excellency consider the Regulations preclude Your Excellency from bestowing
that favour upon Your Memorialist, that Your Excellency will be pleased to
subject his case to the favourable consideration of the Secretary of State, and
Your Memorialist as in duty bound will be ever grateful.</span></div>

</div>
<b>DEATH</b> - Last night at 10 o'clock, of Aneurism of the Arterial System, Mr.John Macdougall, Father of the Proprietor of this Journal, aged sixty-four.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Friends are respectfully informed that his Funeral will take place on Thursday next, the 20th instant, at 3 o'clock p.m. from his late residence, New Town Road, to the Presbyterian Burial Ground.</div>
<br />
<br />
<b>Sheriff of the Colony (J.T.Crouch Esq) wrote to son Archibald Macdougall</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"He who has gone has left proof of the exchange being a happy one, and we have the joy of spending an eternity with him. Your revered, and universally beloved parent, had an Aneurism in his left thigh, and was induced to submit to an operation on the 5th November (it being performed by Dr.Officer, in the presence of Drs. Agnew, Crowther and Casey). The sufferer did apparently well for several days, and Dr.Officer told my good wife he had no doubt your dear father's life had been prolonged several years by his abstemious habits. About 9 days after the operation all hopes were given up and he lingered in great and excruciating pain until the evening of Monday, the 17th November, when he breathed his last, in the presence of all members of his family, except two. He was fully sensible to the last, where I had the privilege of attending to his wants, and he gave us the most delightful proofs of his hope beyond the grave; indeed, his expressions and smiles were such as to induvce those around his bed to silently exclaim, "Let my last end be like his". He was interred in the Scottish Burial Ground on Thursday, the 20th, followed by a long train of mourning friends".</div>

<span lang="EN-US">"A painful duty
devolves upon us, in the making known to the supporters of this journal the
almost sudden death of the late proprietor, Mr. J.C.Macdougall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>About a week previously, that gentleman had
been confined to his dwelling through indisposition, and on Friday last had, to
all appearances, so far recovered as to be enabled to attend to the publication
of the last number of this journal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Indeed he considered himself fast recovering, and was giving directions
for the business of the present week, when the hand of death struck the fatal
blow, and he expired, seated as he was in his chair, without apparently
suffering the slightest pain.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">To detail the
events of this gentleman’s career during his long residence in this colony is
unnecessary, for from the time of his arrival to the day of his death (with the
exception of a few years) he was connected with the Press, and as such became a
public character, and his conduct and actions liable to the censure of
approbation of everyone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His morality
was unimpeachable, and if in his public capacity he made enemies, they were but
few, and their enmity was caused by his performing that which he considered a
public duty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The support this journal
receives is the best proof that can possibly be given as to the manner in which
MR. MACDOUGALL was respected in his public character.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As A private individual he was much esteemed,
and his company courted by a very large portion of his fellow-colonists; and on
his departing from this life of tribulation, he was at peace with every
fellow-creature.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Sudden death
affords as awful lesson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It proves to us
beyond doubt, that “in the midst of life we are in death” – that “we know not what
shall be on the morrow – for what is our life?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time and then vanisheth
away”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Beautifully expressive is the
psalmist, when he pictures the life of man as a flower of the field, and that
is so flourishes, but the wind passeth over it, and it is gone and the place
thereof knoweth it no more.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The shaft of
death brings peace to the victim struck down – with his there remains no
rankling wounds to convulse the mortal frame; but, alas! It is those around that
suffer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the wife, bereft of the
loved partner of her life, that is overwhelmed with anguish – it is the
fatherless children that feel the loss of their guide and protector.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And such is the situation of the proprietress
of this journal, who is thus suddenly compelled to plunge into the management
of a business full of difficulties, in order to support her numerous young
children.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">We feel
satisfied that the widow will succeed in her exertions – that the support
received by her husband will be continued to her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The colonists never hold a deaf ear to the
deserving supplicant; and we trust that, in this, her lamentable situation,
they will come forward and assist her in her laudable undertaking.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">There is one
consolation which soothes the mind – it is in the host of formerly unknown
friends, who sprang forward to the widow’s assistance directly the demise of
her husband became known, and to those it is her desire that her thanks for
their kindness should thus be given.</span></div>

<b>William James Macdougall was the 7th child of John and Davinia Macdougall.</b> </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
William was born 1820 and trained as a Medical Practioner. He was appointed by the Governor Sir John Franklin as House Surgeon which he held office until 1840, then completed his studies at London University College with Honours, and the Royal College of Surgeons, London.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
William settled in Birkenhead, England and had 4 daughters - Jessie, Fanny, Clara & Ellen.<br />
Fanny married Archibald Butler Macdougall (son of J.C.Macdougall) in 1878 in Birkenhead. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Doctor died in 1882 from the same complaint as his father - an anuerism in the thigh. His leg had to be amputated and he sat up and watched the surgeons cut his leg off. The operation was however too late as mortification had set in.</div>

<b>Archibald was a Printer and Publisher like his father and brother. </b>He managed the Launceston paper <b>"The Examiner"</b> where he met Sarah Calvert. He left Van Diemen's Land and arrived in Adelaide on "Lady Emma" on 19 March 1838 with his printing press - the first printing press in South Australia. He published the <b>"Southern Australian"</b> with its first issue in June 1838, in competition with the "South Australian Gazette and Colonial Register".</div>
<br />
Colonel William Light (1786 - 1839) was the Founder of Adelaide. Archibald Macdougall published William Light's rare book<b> "A brief Journal and Australian Diaries"</b> in 1839.<br />
<br />
<b>In 1840 Archibald gained the Government printing contract, but this would eventually force him into bankruptcy when the government dishonoured a bill of nearly 1000 pounds.</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>John Campbell Macdougall's widow Mary Ann Macdougall </b>enticed Archibald to leave Adelaide and return to Hobart to manage the<b> "Colonial Times"</b> after Archibald's father (Captain) John Macdougall died in 1845, and his older brother John Campbell died in 1848. This he did after disposing of his Adelaide property.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>He brought the "Colonial Times" business into a state of success</b>, but when he expected his reward (a partnership), the widow did not keep her word and from that estranged relationship Archibald left and went to Victoria. "Colonial Times" was sold when Mary Ann Macdougall married Mr Kenric Brodribb in 1855 and moved to Melbourne.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Archiblad Macdougall printed and published the famous book "The Life and Adventures of William Buckley" 1852 in Hobart.</b> Author John Morgan. A story of a wanderer for thirty two years amongst the Aborigines of the then unexplored country around Port Philip, now the province of Victoria. The saying "You have two hopes - buckleys and none" comes from this story. He also published <b>"The Wild White Man and the Blacks of Victoria" </b>by James Bonwick in 1852 in Hobart.</div>

In January 2013 I found the cave that William Buckley lived in for some time. It is below the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse. If you want to explore for yourself, take the track to the beach from the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse and turn left. It is immediately under the Lighthouse. You cannot enter the cave as it is barred up but good to find it. We enjoyed our lunch on the beach and pondered what it would have been like for William Buckley in those early days. </div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Obituary – Mr.W.A.Macdougall 2 July 1930</b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
With tragic suddenness the death
occurred at his home, 14 Swan Street, Hobart on Wednesday night of Mr.William
Arthur Macdougall, at the age of 82 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mr.Macdougall was known in many parts of the State, he having taken up
residence successively at Bellerive, Hobart, Launceston, King Island and
Hobart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the latter years of his life
he was confined to an invalid’s chair, as a result of an accident while he was
on King Island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr.Macdougall was seated
at his evening meal on Wednesday when he expired.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The late Mr.Macdougall spent his
early life at Bellerive, with his parents and after a short period of residence
in Hobart, a few years later, he entered the service of the late
Mr.W.F.Brownell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After his marriage he
went to Launceston to take charge of a business and settled there, and after a few
years set himself up in business as a draper in the Northern city.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He remained in the North for several years,
but when settlement began on King Island he sold his business and went to the
island, interesting himself in cattle-raising.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>During his residence on the island he met with a serious accident.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Walking from his main farm to another
pasture, he tripped over a chain of a chaise cart, was rendered
unconscious.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was in that state for
several hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Medical assistance was
sought at Currie Hospital and it was found that his spine was injured.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The injuries attendant upon the accident were
present until his death – a period of some 16 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr.Macdougall after a period in the
Launceston Public Hospital, returned to Hobart with his family.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Grand Lodge Work</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The late Mr.Macdougall was a
prominent member of the Masonic Order, his outstanding work in this connection
being in the Grand Lodge of Tasmania.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
was one of the founders of the Grand Lodge, and was one of its first
officers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He held office as Deputy Grand
Master in 1895.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is noteworthy that Mr.Macdougall
was one of the few surviving officers of the Grand Lodge in its infancy,
amongst being Sir.Elliott Lewis and Alderman E.J.Rogers C.M.G.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mr.Macdougall is survived by his
widow, four daughters, one of whom is the wife of Hon.W.H.Calvert M.L.C. and
one son, the Rev.L.S.Macdougall, of the Peace Memorial Methodist Church, East
Malvern, Victoria.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The funeral will arrive at Cornelian Bay cemetery at 3.15pm
today.</div>

<b>In 2007 Peter & I took a week out to explore King Island where my Great Grandparents were pioneer farmers in the early 1900s.</b></h3>
<h3>
<b> </b></h3>
It was an unreal experience to walk in their footsteps 100 years later. We were able to find the properties owned by the Macdougalls - "Dunollie" in Hardys Road, 6 miles north of Currie and "Lorne" on Ettrick River, 11 miles south of Currie.<br />

<span lang="EN-US">– </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">experienced by
William and Sarah Macdougall, June/July 1914</span></h2>

adapted by Joy Olney 2012.</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><b>On Monday 29 June 1914</b> Sarah Macdougall received a
letter from King Island while staying at her sister Susie’s home “Melville
House”, in Hobart.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The letter had been written three days after William A.
Macdougall had met with an accident on their property “Lorne”(near Etterick River) towards evening. It appears
William had driven thither with a cart load of stuff and had “outspanned”, but
coming to the cart to unload he tripped over the belly-band and fell towards
the cart, striking the bridge of his nose and injuring his back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was found by a passer-by, lying on the
ground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The passer-by rode to Currie and
informed Olive and Ila and they came down, bringing the Doctor with them and
arriving at “Lorne” at midnight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
next day William was removed to the Cottage Hospital at Currie and passed the
following night fairly well. The letter was then dispatched, so that no more
information was available.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">On Friday 3 July mail brought forth further word about
William’s accident, showing it to have been much worse than had been at first
supposed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had lain two days where he
fell jammed in against the cart wheel before he was seen and given relief, and
paralysis had set in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The next available boat to King Island
was expected to leave Launceston on Thursday 9 July.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Sarah proceeded to Launceston to travel on the SS “Wauchope”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It did not leave the Launceston wharf until 8
o’clock Friday 10 July – she had been delayed through the boiler wanting
repairs. Sarah went across in the ferry boat and boarded SS “Wauchope” at the
cattle jetty. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Rev.Wills came to meet Sarah and said he was going to
look after her and he proved to be a man of his word.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He made her comfortable in a chair on the
deck, with his rug all round her and a motor-veil tied around her head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When they got to the heads about 5p.m. it was
then fearfully rough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sarah went to bed
in her clothes, fortunately. She could not stand to get them off.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">There was a child and two ladies in the cabin with
Sarah.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The boat was crowded - 9 children
and a lot of adults.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When they got to
Burnie they took on a mother and father with five children, and a man and his
two girls, they were now very crowded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They started off <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>with 75 cattle
and at Burnie put on something the same number and two horses.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The boat left Burnie about midnight and the weather
was fearful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They had to hang onto the
hooks and sides of the bunks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Crockery
was banging, everything was on the move.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They thought they would never see land again, and strange to say, Sarah
had a feeling that the sooner it was over the better.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">SS “Wauchope” got under shelter of the Hunters Islands on the Saturday (Day 2) and
stayed there the day and night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During
the next day (Day 3) they got to Frazer on the East Coast of King Island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The waves were mountains high.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was thought they would put the cattle over
board.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Five had died.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Captain tried to continue again and they
got into Seal Bay, but could get no further, so
dropped anchor there. They had to again return to Frazer (Day 4) as the anchor
was dragging and it was not safe even with that number of cattle on board.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ship rose with the mountain of waves and
went down on its sides.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was fearful
and pouring rain and terrific wind and hail storms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They ran out of water – only allowed a very
little drop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They had to keep some for
the horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The poor cattle were without
food and water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They ran out of bread,
no flour, and the last meal was salt pork and Haywood’s biscuits. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was too rough to get tea carried and the
poor stewardess was not well, but she did her best for Sarah.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr. Wills dragged himself to the cabin door
when he could or get someone to go and see how Sarah was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was very attentive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sarah will never forget his kindness to her.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">In the afternoon of Day 4 the Captain says it is most
likely they will be at sea for days as he dared not attempt to try to get
in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They suggested a man be taken in a
life boat and a horse being put over to swim ashore. The man would then ride to
Currie across from the East Coast, about 30 miles, to get provisions sent to
the boat. Mr.Wills came in to tell Sarah that he intended going in the life
boat to see if he could get provisions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He left Sarah with his rug and she watched him go.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The lifeboat returned to the boat after Mr.Wills
reached the East Coast Jetty and to Sarah’s surprise Olive Macdougall was in
the lifeboat with the sailors. She had ridden out in the storm to see if there
was any sight of the boat on the other coast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Olive said “Mother, have you nerve enough to come in the lifeboat?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If not, you may be here for days”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sarah said “Yes, I will.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Sarah was lifted by five sailors over the side of the
boat and lowered into the lifeboat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Olive steered, and Sarah was wrapped in Mr.Wills’ rug and the sailors
covered her with oilskins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were
like a cork on the water, up and down, but arrived safely on the Frazer Beach. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sarah was carried by the sailors on to the
beach.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Mr.Wills was there waiting for them and they started
for Mr.Button’s house amongst the timber.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mr.Button used to own “Lorne”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mrs.Button came on in all the rain to meet them and did everything for
their comfort. She had a big fire, warm clothes and a hot meat tea ready for
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were dressed in the Button’s
clothes. Olive had called by on her way and had had her lunch there.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Olive immediately went off to ride across country to
get the butcher and baker to send out provisions to the boat in case they could
not land.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Olive was a BRICK! She thinks
of everything. She intends to bring a four-wheeler out to the Frazer to take
Mr.Wills and Sarah to Currie on the West Coast. Sarah left the boat without a dress
or hat and will not get anything till the boat gets to Currie, but meanwhile
Mrs.Button will fix her up.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">After three days and nights at sea Mr.Wills and Sarah were
looking forward to rest, but neither slept a wink that night at Buttons. They
were too upset. Sarah worried about Olive going through rough timber country at
night in such a storm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Olive arrived in
Currie at 9p.m. after six hours on horseback in difficult circumstances.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The next morning (Day 5) Mr.Robinson arrived with a
pair of horses and a four-wheeler, lots of rugs and clothing Mrs.Robinson had
sent them. They lunched together with Mrs.Button and left for a journey Sarah
will never forget.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The horses had to go
through roads, mud and slush above the axles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sarah just shut her eyes and prayed to be safely taken to Currie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In some parts Olive and Mr.Fred <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>walked up to their ankles in mud, so as to
make it lighter for the horses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They had
Mr.Fred’s horse and our Dick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Neither
horse had ever been in a double-harness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They had Mr. Attrill’s four-wheeler.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Olive drove and Mr.Fred used the whip. Sarah would <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>have given anything for you to have seen Olive
in a mackintosh strapped round her waist, leggings, and Mr.Fred’s soft felt hat
tied on her head with string.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>OLIVE WAS
A MARVEL!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr.Wills and Sarah were on the
back seat with mud splashed all over them. Sarah had a big cloth travelling
hood belonging to Mrs.Fred and Aunt Suzie’s mackintosh over her coat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sarah had the presence of mind to wrap and
pin the mackintosh around her in the boat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Upon arriving at Currie Mr.Wills was left at Mr.Huxley’s
and Sarah will stay at Mr.Ingham’s until she gets her things from the boat.
They are truly thankful to have arrived safely in Currie.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Sarah was sick only once and that was while they were
anchored, she lost a tooth, when and how she does not know, and she had a
slight cough. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Wednesday 15 July (Day 6) weather very bad and still
no sign of the boat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were safe but
cannot get into the jetty as it was too dangerous amongst the reefs. Sarah and
Mr.Wills are counting their blessings now they have safely landed, while the
other poor creatures are still being tossed about and so ill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr.Wills and Sarah are being looked upon as
hero and heroine. The old Captain who says Sarah did a brave and dangerous
thing to come by the lifeboat and travel by the fearful road in such weather.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Sarah is at last able to visit her husband William in
the Cottage Hospital, Currie (16 days after hearing of his unfortunate
accident). It will not do to excite him, so she must not stay for long.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">William must have an iron constitution to have gone
through what he has done and to be on the mend. His nose was smashed in, and
now except that it is more of a “Roman” and that he cannot as yet use it, there
will not be any disfigurement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He can
move his arms and he can eat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So far his
legs are useless.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is hoped that he
will get the use of his legs in a few weeks when they get the blood circulating
again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was very comfortable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are no other patients in the
hospital.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ila and the Matron are
attending to him. His great trouble is that he has no power to make water; it
has to be taken away from him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It looks
so strange to see him there with dear old Hughie’s reading-stand fixed to his
bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He can read now and that will make
the time pass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has a big fire and all
the comforts he can get.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Olive made him
some jelly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People are very good to him.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ila is so pleased that she can continue
nursing him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was determined she
would not leave him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Sunday 26 July, and a letter from Sarah to family in Hobart says that William
is slightly better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He can move his legs
a little.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The left hand is not much use
to him yet and his feet are helpless.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Everything has to be done for him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was very weary of the long time in bed,
but is considered by all, Doctor included, as the wonder of the age. No one
else thinks they could have held out so long. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The cry that William put all his strength into when he
heard the man passing by on the road, he knew it was his last cry for help, as
he could never have lived another hour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He said he called all day and night for three days and when the man
answered his call he could scarcely believe that such good luck could attend
him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The man went into “Lorne”and got
some blankets and put them on him. The man could not touch William. He went off
for help and fortunately met Tom Denby. The man (named Creasey and who works
opposite “Pearshape”) went back to stay with William while Tom Denby went onto
Langham’s and got Miss Langham, a nurse who was staying with her brother near
the Ettrick River.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She and her brother
went onto “Lorne”, Tom Denby went onto Bishoff’s, and Mr.Bishoff and his son
went down to “Lorne” with hot-water bags, whisky, brandy, eggs, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mrs.Bishoff got a room ready at her house and
the bed made warm in case it was too far for them to take William to the
Hospital.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tom Denby then went off for
the Doctor and to the Lightfoots for the girls (Olive and Ila).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was fortunate that the Lightfoots were
having an evening and the girls were visiting so about 8 miles was saved.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Mr.Willie Lightfoot got the pair horses and
four-wheeler and took the girls down, reaching “Lorne”at midnight (Wednesday 24
June, therefore the accident happened Sunday 21 June, 1914).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They only knew there was an accident and
thought it was the acetylene gas, so you can imagine their feelings that long
journey.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">William had been put into bed and the fires in all the
rooms and hot bottles all around him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They dared not take his wet clothes off him until he was taken to the
hospital at daylight. Strychnine was injected often and brandy given.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They dared not give him food. William said it
was lovely to be in the bed warm.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The “party” got supper at “Lorne” in the early
morning, cooked chops and sausages that William had taken down for his weeks
supply.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They had to eat with their
fingers and have basins as they could not find crockery or knives.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">When they got William to Hospital the nurse had
everything ready for the Doctor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
had to cut his clothes off him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was
not out of danger for more than a week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Doctor did not think it possible to pull him through. He thinks
there is some injury to the spine but cannot say for certain until William gets
his circulation back. It will be a very long time and he will never be the same
strong man again. He will not be able to leave hospital for a very long time,
it will be a lengthy illness. Later the Doctor will try the battery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>William says he has a feeling in his body of
suffocation and like a band tight round his waist.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">William has very little appetite.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sarah is cooking all sorts of tempting things
that she can take to him and friends are so kind, Mrs.Woods especially. She has
sent William two turkeys, one duck, one fowl, pumpkin, egg, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She sends them to Sarah, now that she and Ila
are at the “Bungalow”, and Sarah cooks dainty dishes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This morning William had giblets for
breakfast, and broth for lunch, turkey for dinner and fish for tea. The next
day Sarah cooked steamed fish and parsley sauce but William only ate a very
tiny piece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For lunch she cooked
kangaroo-tail soup and a stuffed wing of turkey but he only took enough to
taste. You cannot make him eat, he is stubborn about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sarah is so near to the Hospital.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It does remind Sarah of poor Hughie’s spine
trouble.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sarah is there the best part of
the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mrs.Munroe has been very
good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She has sent four lots of
beautiful fish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr.Richardson, the
Editor of the paper, came up yesterday to see if Sarah needed any wood
chopped.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr.Fred Bowling came and had
lunch with Sarah and William.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">William has a chair fixed up with wheels and platform,
and put in it for a little time every day. Mr.Batten has done it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It takes two to lift him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The maid is a big girl and she helps. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Mrs.Blake is looking after Sarah and says Sarah is to
stay with her at night. Sarah is going to Church and enjoys Mr.Perkins
preaching. She is feeling perfectly well and looking after herself with food as
she knows it necessary to keep up her strength. Sarah is aware of the Haywood’s
prayers at quarter to ten every night and thanks Charlie and Susie for praying
for her safe journey, and William’s recovery.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">News comes from King Island
on 18 September that the injury William sustained at “Lorne” three months ago,
and the subsequent exposure has resulted in the permanent loss of the use of
his lower limbs and that therefore he will be unable to walk or work again.</span></div>

<b>Leslie made a Commitment to the Lord</b> at Paterson Street Wesleyan Methodist Church, Launceston <b>on 12 March 1892</b> and was "admitted into and publicly recognised as a Member of the Australasian Wesleyan Methodist Church" on 24 August 1892. <b>He was accepted as a Local Preacher in September 1895 at the age of 18 years.</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>In 1895 Leslie commenced a 1st Year Arts Degree at Tasmania University,</b>
Launceston Campus, studying in the afternoons and evening, and tutoring
his young sisters Ruby, Olive and Ila in the mornings at home. Leslie
failed to satisfy the examiners in 1896 (too involved in too many
activities), and did not sit the examinations in 1897. He only passed
Latin in 1898. It seemed his heart was not in it - he preferred to
preach and study theology, photography became a passion and enjoyed
tutoring the Shoobridge boys. Leslie sat exams at the end of 1899 -
Mathematics 1,2 & 3, English Literature, Latin, English Authors,
Latin Authors but failed all (not surprised!). He failed again in 1900!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Leslie started to write a diary in 1895 and that continued until 1948,</b>
shortly before his death on 8 February 1949. Joy Olney has the
diaries, they have been eloquently written giving lots of details about
life as a Methodist Minister in Tasmania and Victoria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Through 2009-2010<b> </b>Joy
scanned every page, including Leslie's ledger of Preaching Appointments
and Baptismal Records. Some diaries were rebound. Then Joy Olney
scanned Beatrice Macdougall's diaries written 1953-1978, making a total
of 16,500 pages. A 16GB USB is available to anyone who wishes to read
the diaries in their entirety. </div>

<b>Leslie Macdougall - and the Shoobridge family </b></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>For almost 3 years - from 1897 to September 1899 Leslie tutored the 4 sons of Mr Louis M.Shoobridge, (a hop farmer) - Rupert </b>(1883-1962)<b>,</b><b> Kenneth </b>(1884-1953), <b>Douglas</b> (1886-1947) <b>& Maxwell </b>(1888-1978).<b> </b>The Shoobridge families were<b> </b>quite
a community in the Glenora, Bushy Park, Derwent Valley areas.
"Providence Valley", "Turiff Lodge", "Valleyfield", "Hawthorn Lodge",
"Clover Lea", "Coniston" were family properties<b>. </b></div>
<br />
<b>William </b>(1781-1836) <b>and Mary </b>(1784-1821)<b> Shoobridge</b>
came to Van Dieman's Land in 1821 but Mary and 3 children died during
the voyage. That left William with 6 children to bring up without a wife
and mother. He was granted 20 acres in Hobart Town to grow hops from
plants he had brought with him from England. In 1833 William remarried
but died on 15 March 1836. He bought land in the Derwent Valley in 1835
and Shoobridge families have remained in the area as Hop farmers ever
since. William's son <b>Ebenezer</b> (1820-1901)<b> </b>continued to be a hop farmer in the area and had 8 children including<b> William Ebenezer Shoobridge</b> (1846-1940)<b> and Louise Manton Shoobridge </b>(1851-1939).<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Ebenezer Shoobridge erected his Oasthouse Text Kiln </b>in
Bushy Park in 1867. Texts are on stone plaques around the exterior of
the Kiln. Leslie Macdougall writes about the Text Kiln in his diaries.<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ebenezer Shoobridge was elected to the House of Assembly 1882-1886. <b><br /></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Louis M.Shoobridge</b> (1851-1939) <b>purchased "Fenton Forest Estate" at Glenora </b>and
grew hops, fruit trees, cattle and sheep. He was one of the
prime-movers in the planting of trees along the Hobart-Launceston
Highway. He was very involved in community affairs including President
of the Council of Agriculture for 4 years, foundation member &
President of the Farmers, Stockowners & Orchardist's Association for
5 years, President of Royal Agricultural Society of Tasmania for 3
years. In 1921 Louis was elected to the Legislative Assembly and held
office until 1937 when he retired to "Sunnyside" Newtown.<b> </b>Louis
was elected to the Hobart City Council in 1923 and served for 14 years.
He improved many of Hobart's parks and reserves at his own expense,
supplying labour, trees and plants. (Hon) Louis gave away one-third of
his income for the last 25 years of his life to deserving causes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Sons Rupert and Douglas</b>
registered "R.O.and D.M.Shoobridge" in 1912 took over the property at
Glenora and bought "Southernfield" and "Trap Hutt", then "Marlborough"
and "Cloverlea". They sold the first two properties and bought
"Cleveland".<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Rupert </b>got
his Degree at Hawkesbury Agricultural College. He joined the A.I.F.in
1916 and was injured in Ypres in 1916 and returned home in 1918 unfit
for further service. He was a member of the New Norfolk Municipal
Council from 1912-1916, 1920-1922, 1928-1947. Rupert<b> </b>became a
member of the Legislative Council for the Division of Derwent from
1937-1955, taking over from his father. He was honoured with a
Knighthood in 1947.</div>
<b>Kenneth</b>
became a Mechanical Engineer and went to England but returned to be a
Hop Grower. Ken's property "Coniston" was part of the "Fenton Forest
Estate". In 1916 Kenneth was the first hop grower to weigh green hops in
the field instead of measuring them by the bushel as was the universal
practice and he built the first power hop press. 1919-1920 Kenneth went
to America to buy hop-picking machines but the depression changed things
as hop buyers refused to buy machine picked hops and the machines
remained idle until 1965. Ken was the first to grow tobacco in Tasmania.<br />
<br />
<b>Douglas </b>studied
at Burnley School of Horticulture in Melbourne. He conducted the stock
side of the business and retired in 1946. Douglas was a member of the
New Norfolk Council, a Director of the Goliath Cement Company at
Hamilton and in 1946 was elected an Alderman of the Hobart City
Council. Ill-health prevented him from taking much part in Council
proceedings, dying in 1947.<br />

<b>I found an interesting fact about the Shoobridges, 3 generations from William Shoobridge </b>(born
1781) - William's son Ebenezer Shoobridge (born 1820), to his son
William Shoobridge (born 1846), to his son Henry Shoobridge (born
1874). The story is that when Henry's father William was 8 years old he
remembered meeting Betty King. <b>Betty was a "First Fleeter on the vessel "Friendship"</b>.
She proved to be a troublesome prisioner. When land was reached on 26
January 1788 Betty was acting as a lady's maid to the officer's wives.
The women were to be first to set foot at Port Jackson but the surf was
frightening. It was agreed that a maid (Betty) be carried ashore first
as a rehearsal. The story seems feasible, but there is no documented
evidence to state that Betty King was indeed the first white woman to
set foot on Australian soil. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Betty
was transported to Norfolk Island and by 1800 was a free woman. She
along with Samuel King, an ex-marine (who came to Australia with the
First Fleet aboard the "Sirius") were given land grants at New Norfolk
(Back River), and on 28th January 1810 they were married by Rev Robert
Knopwood. Samuel died 21 October 1849 and in an unmarked grave at Back
River.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>"Town Courier" </b>reported
on 7th August 1856 that "Mrs Elizabeth King, the first white woman that
landed in New South Wales, died this week at the Back River, New
Norfolk". In Betty's Will dated 16th November 1855, Betty left her
property to Ebenezer Shoobridge. It was Mr Shoobridge's grandson Henry
who went to lengths more that one hundred years after her death to
replace the wooden cross and erect a tombstone in her memory in the
burial grounds of Back River Methodist Church near New Norfolk with the
permission of the Trustees of the Bark River Methodist Church in
September 1963.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>"Near this spot was laid to rest Betty King the first white woman to set foot in Australia". </b><br />

While
researching the Shoobridge family I could not help but feel I was
researching my own family. There are quite a few points of connection
that I will share.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A plaque to Sir Rupert Shoobridge</b>
can be found at the base of a tree on the corner of Pioneer Avenue
& Alfred Street, New Norfolk. That is the first matrimonial home of
Leslie & Beatrice Macdougall when they were appointed to ministry
there with the Methodist Church in 1912.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That home was called<b> "Eardley Cottage"</b>, built in 1830 and originally owned by <b>Sir John Eardley-Wilmott M.P.</b>
Now on Tasmania Heritage Register as a place of historic, cultural
& heritage significance. Sir Eardley-Wilmott became Governor of
Tasmania in 1843 and was responsible for the Botanical Gardens. Leslie's
grandmother Elizabeth was first married to William Davidson, the 1st
Superintendent of the Gardens from 1828.</div>
