<b>John & Susannah (Sewell) Allason</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<b>John Allason</b> was born about 1774 in Cotherstone, North Yorkshire and died 4 April 1836 in Low Row, Swaledale, North Yorkshire at the age of 62 years. <br />
<b>Susannah Sewell </b>was born about 1787 in Uppingham, Rutland and died 14 October 1830 in Low Row, Swaledale, North Yorkshire at nearly 43 years of age. <br />
<b>John Allason and Susannah Sewell</b> married on 21 February 1804 in Uppingham, Rutland, England.<br />
<br />
<b>Together John and Susannah Allason had 8 children</b>:<br />
<b>Ann</b> <b>Allason</b> was born & baptised in 1804 in Uppington and died 19 January 1829, aged 24 years.<br />
<b>John</b> <b>Allason</b> born 9 August 1808, baptised 2 October 1808, died 10 October 1834, aged 26 years.<br />
<b>Sarah</b> <b>Allason</b> born 11 June 1812, baptised 26 July 1812, died 20 April 1828, aged 16 years.<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>John Allason </b>grew up in a Nonconformist family which belonged to an Independent Church. He attended Homerton College, then situated in High Street, Hometon, East London. After finishing his training he moved to Rutland where he became the minister of Uppingham Congregational Church (founded in 1700). He was in Uppington from January 1802 to the end of 1806. Since the course at Homerton usually took 6 years, we can assume John travelled south to College in 1795 at the age of 21 years. It was in Uppingham that John met his wife to be, Susannah Sewell and married her on 21 February 1804 before she had turned 16 years old. John was 30 when he married.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>In 1807 Rev John Allason arrived in Swaledale</b>, initially to serve as assistant to the Rev David Simpson whose health was beginning to fail. David Simpson died in 1808, whereupon Rev John Allason assumed sole responsibility for the ministry at Smarber Chapel and subsequently the new chapel at Low Row. He started the day school, and by 1833 there were 20 boys and 6 girls in this school but most of the 50 Pounds left by Rev David Simpson to pay a schoolomaster had to be spent on debts on the building.<br />
<br />
<b>John and Susannah Allason had eight children but tragically only three survived to mature adult life. Susannah herself died in 1834 aged 43 years and John Allason died in 1836 aged 62 years. There is a monument to the Allason family on the wall of the present church. </b><br />
<b> </b><br />
It reads:<br />
This monument is a tribute of affection and regret and records the names of persons<b> </b>interred below.<b></b><br />
<b>Mrs Susannah Allason </b>who was near 27 years the amiable wife of the Minister of this Chapel. She died Oct 14th 1830 aged near 43 years.<b></b><br />

<b>Peter and Joy Olney visited Low Row Reformed Church in 2007. </b>We arrived on a Sunday morning while the service was being held. We snuck into the back row while the Minister had his head down praying. As he looked up he noticed that visitors had arrived. (There were only about 15 in the congregation so it was not hard to notice visitors). I stood up, pointed to the large plaque on the wall, and quite emotionally introduced myself as "the great great great grand daughter of Rev John Allason who came to this Church in 1807, two hundred years ago, and I have travelled all the way from Australia to be here today". Everyone was quite moved.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Life in North Yorkshire was very difficult. The lead mines were failing and people were becoming destitute. Typhus and Consumption were prevalent and John Allason's family suffered greatly. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The three children that survived to adulthood were Rebecca, Edward and Aaron Allason.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Aaron</b> was a Draper's Assistant in 1841 Census, Rutland, Uppingham District, England. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Edward </b>was a Tailor & Draper in 1841 Census, Barnard Castle, Durham, England. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the deaths of five siblings and their parents between 1828 and 1836, it is no wonder that <b>Edward and Aaron Allason decided to emigrate to Australia on the barque "George", arriving in Hobart Town on 7 November 1842. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Aaron:</b><br />
I have no knowledge of what happened to <b>Aaron</b> between 1842 & 1848 but he died on 14 May 1848.<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Undertaker</b> states Aaron died on 14 May 1848, cause of death "Apoplexy" or stroke at 23 years. <b>Coroner</b> states Aaron died on 14 May 1848, cause of death "by the visitation of God from the effects of delinim tremins" or psychosis caused by alcoholism on 14 May 1848 at 25 years, in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. There is a slight difference of opinion which adds confusion some 180 years later!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Edward:</b><br />
I have discovered that <b>Edward Allason and Alice Milestone has an illegitimate son in 1839.</b><br />
<b>John Milestone Allison</b> was born 1839 in Leyburn, Yorkshire. In October 1841, when he was 2, his mother Alice died. John was brought up by his mother's 2 maiden sisters - Ann and Elizabeth Milestone. Edward Allason came to Tasmania with his younger brother Aaron Allason on 7 November 1842, never to see his son again.<br />
John Milestone Allison married Emma Simpson (born 1842) on 3 March 1862 and they had 3 children - Alice Allason born 1863, Emily Allason born 1864 and John Edward Allason born 1869, the year his father died.<br />
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Edward Allason</b> married Elizabeth Davidson nee Aisbett/Naisbett, the widow of William Davidson on 16 January 1843 in Hobart, Australia. Refer to another post for more detail on Edward Allason as I am a descendant of Edward. Also take a look at my Davidson Family Archives blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<b>Rebecca Allason </b>(17 October 1816 - 28 September 1845)<b> married Adam Barker</b> (1807-1871)<b> </b>on 3 July 1836<b> and they had 4 children</b>:<br />
John Barker - Born 1838 in Feetham and died 1900.<br />
Robert Barker - Born 1840 in Feetham and died 1863.<br />
Susannah Barker - (1842 - 1907) Born in Feetham and married Isaac Johnson Liddle (1834-1921).<br />
Adam Barker - Born 1844 in Thistlenest, Crackpot and died 1868.<br />
<br />
<b>Rebecca Allason </b>died from
"Consumption" on 28 September 1845 at Crackpotside, Griton at 28 years of age,
leaving 4 very young children.<br />
<br />
Adam Barker married wife No2. Hannah Lazenby (born 1861) and they had 3 children:<br />
Eleanor Barker 1849-1870.<br />
Samuel Barker 1850-?<br />
Mercy 1853-1857.<br />
<br />
The first Adam Barker came from Derbyshire in 1681 after the death of his brother Robert, to manage the local lead mines. Robert had made a partnership agreement with Philip Lord Wharton, Lord of the Manor of Healaugh. Adam Barker was one of the Trustees for the land which funded the construction of Smarber Chapel.<br />
<br />
Adam Barker (1807-1871) came to live at "The Rookery" at Healaugh (after
Rebecca's death) with his 2nd wife Hannah and their children. There has
been about 8 generations of Barkers living at "The Rookery" which is
probably a seventeenth century house and built before the Barkers settled in
Healaugh.<br />
<br />
In 2007 Peter and Joy Olney visited the present owners, Lawrence and Sheila Barker at "The Rookery" in Healaugh. Sheila gave Joy a leaf off the 300 year old Bay Tree behind us in the photo.<br />

<b>http://allasonfamilyarchives.blogspot.com.au </b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A number of John Allason's letters have survived showing him to have had a keen interest in and knowledge of local dissenting church history, to have often been in poor health because of consumption and lumbago, and to have often been seeking to improve his low income with applications for various grants and charities. At the same time he gererously sent gifts of grouse and pheasants to his benefactors.<br />
<br />
The letters also give a great personal insight into the sacrifices made by the Allason family as they ministered for the Lord in a very remote area of North Yorkshire moors. <b>Rev John Allason lost his wife and 5 children between 1828 and 1834. He died 4 April 1836.</b></div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Rev John Allason was ordained
Pastor over the Society of Protestant Dissenters at the new chapel, Low Row,
Swaledale in Yorkshire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr Prattman of
Barnard Castle commenced the service of the day in the usual manner, delivered
an introductory discourse from Acts xiv 23, and asked the questions etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr C Whitfield of Hamsterly engaged in the
ordination prayer with imposition of hands and gave the charge from John xii
26.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr A Carnson of Cotherstone
prayed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr G Cook of Reeth addressed the
people from Rom xv 30 and E Stillman of Keld concluded.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This interest is considered as one of
the most ancient among the Dissenters in the north of England and was founded
by the pious Philip Lord Wharton, lord of this and neighbouring manors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His Lordship having been instrumental in
adding to the population of this dale by the introduction of a great number of
poor and ignorant people, who were employed in the lead mines, and there being
no place of worship within six miles, he fitted up a chapel, which was
occasionally supplied by his Lordship’s chaplains and afterwards more stately
by some of the ejected ministers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>About
the year 1690 he gave Smarber Hall Chapel, situated in the centre of a populous
neighbourhood, and although it has been enlarged and repaired at different
times, yet was become so ruinous and really dangerous to the crowds which of
late resorted to it that a new place became absolutely necessary, and the
present one was created in 1809 which will accommodate about 500 persons.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The congregation was reduced to the
lowest state, and the place shut up during half the year when the present
minister was invited in 1806 from Uppingham in Rutland to become assistant to
the late minister.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The new chapel is
well attended in the summer season but we are sorry to add that in consequence
of the great poverty of the people a considerable debt remains upon the place.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The ministers who have successively
laboured here were the Rev J Holland who removed, J Taylor died here, J Burgess
removed, T Gardner died here, having laboured in the Lord’s work upward of 50
years, J Benn his son-in-law died here, A Meanly removed, D Simpson died in

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lord Wharton by a deed dated July 12
1692 appropriated an estate near York as a perpetual fund for the purchase of
1050 bibles, with other religious books yearly to be given to the poor children
of certain parishes where he had property.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dear Sir,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I received your last short note with the letters and very
acceptable gift of a Sovereign for which I beg my best thanks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my last I desired you to take the trouble
of calling upon Mr Field and ask whether he received safe and good order a
Brace of Grouse which I sent him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I fear
he did not as I never heard from him. You will perhaps have no particular
objection to enquire of him if there is any probability of my obtaining a
little pecuniary aid from Bearman’s Charity his help and advice should be glad
of in this matter you can if you please consult the other Trustees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Rev Dr David Simpson my predecessor
enjoyed the Charity for many years down to 1806 and he received what is called
Extra Benefaction of 5 Pounds from the Presbyterian Fund (last received
1806).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Yorkshire ministers are not
regular recipients of Presy Fund because of Lady Hewley’s Charity which is
considered as confined to this county but that is not the case, it is all over
England distributed to ministers and those denominated Presy are said to be
served in the amplest manner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yorkshire
ministers are allowed from the Presy Fund, London, what are called Extra
Donations which are occasionally or annually voted for there at the instigation
of some Member of the Fund Board. In 1805 an Exhibition of 5 Pounds was
received by me predecessor being a part of the Rev Hen. Deerman’s Legacy at the
disposal of the Presy Fund Board.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Have
you no candid feeling acquaintance known of Dr.Rees or any of the members of
the Presy Fund Board whom you could interest on my behalf in that quarter –
several of my neighbours in less necessatious circumstances than your humble
servant manage to obtain occasional benefactions. My income has decreased of
late and must suffer much more in consequence of the reduction in value of
lands my benefaction from Lady Hewley’s Charity has been reduced 5 Pounds per
annum for the above reason. My family consists of 10 persons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My two oldest I wish to place out as
Apprentices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There outfit will cost me
at least 30 Pounds which I have not a prospect of raising without charitable
abidance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>None that I know have made
more sacrifices or suffered more privations considering my family circumstances
than I have done to rescue an ancient decayed cause who had a noble and pious
founder from the jaws of perdition. (during the past 17 years my salary has
averages about 60 Pounds per annum). Can you give me any particulars relative
to Durham ……</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Last year in consequence of the decease of the Vicar of this
Parish and removal of 2 Curates the returns for Lord Wharton’s Bibles fell into
my hands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I preached the Annual Sermon
and have received 10/- for it from the Trustees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At my request the 60 bibles sent into
Swaledale have been divided into three equal parts and have been sent this year
one to the Vicar, one to me and another to the Curate of the chapel of ease –
this arrangement the church men do not like but they cannot hinder it – at
least I hope so.</span></div>

would be useful here but more particularly Watt’s Psalms and Hymns Catechisms.
I could get a friend to call and bring them at Xmas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My Congregation formerly received donations

have a great deal of expensive medical attendance and medicine wh I can ill
afford.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My illness was occasioned by the
severe labours of a Sabbath on which I preached twice at home and performed
extra services, rode 10 miles in the evening and preached on my return in the
evening I got drenched in wet wh brought on a severe and dangerous palpitation
of the heart and my limbs became paralysed with rheumatism.</b></span></div>

sorry to say hints that I am not to expect any further relief from the A Fund

for the fund by any of the opulent Congregations in Yorkshire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I shall venture to send my Case and hope for
some help however small as I shall have an ugly medical bill to discharge as

be sent hither.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The history of Low Row United Reformed
Church has to start with <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Philip Lord
Wharton</b> who was born in 1613.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the
death of his grandfather in 1625 he became the fourth Lord Wharton, his own
father having died when Philip was only nine years old. He inherited land,
money and responsibilities, but all these were held in trust until he was 21
years old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He entered Exeter College in
Oxford at the age of 13, and later spent three years travelling on the
continent of Europe with his brother Thomas and a Tutor. He was called to the
Court of Charles 1 where he quickly became known for his abilities in
dancing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the age of 19 he married.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All this before he was 21!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
At the age of 21 (in 1634) he should
have taken his seat in the House of Lords but could not do so because the King
refused to call Parliament.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The House of
Lords did not sit until 1640.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From then
on Philip Lord Wharton was active in Parliamentary affairs.</div>

In 1642 Philip Lord Wharton raised
a regiment of foot and a troop of horse to fight in the Battle of
Edgehill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They behaved less than
gloriously as Wharton himself reported later to Parliament. Lord Wharton not
only ran away but is said to have hidden in a sawpit, thus earning for himself
the parliamentary nickname of Sawpit Wharton.</div>

In 1645 during the Commonwealth
period Philip Lord Wharton wrote to Lord Fairfax concerning the vacancy in the
Parish of Grinton. He inherited/owned land and property extensively in
Swaledale, including Smarber Hall which had been used as a shooting lodge.</div>

John Allason wrote in 1821: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Smarber Hall Chapel</b> was situated upon the side of a steep mountain
in a central station for the accommodation of the surrounding population.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being a large old thatched building much
exposed to boisterous storms it was repeatedly unroofed and otherwise damaged
particularly in 1739.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1759 it was
nearly demolished.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The roof blown away
and end wall destroyed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A collection was
made and 12 Pounds 15 shillings obtained,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In 1761 Thos Wainwright Esq of Hatton Garden, London, generously sent 50
Pounds for its enlargement and reparation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In 1778 Mr Benn collected at Manchester 20 Pounds which was expended in
rebuilding the north wall, then ruinous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In 1810 in consequence of its ruinous and dangerous condition it was
taken down and a new Chapel erected at Low Row which cost 500 Pounds – a debt
of near 100 Pounds remains upon it”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A new Chapel was built on the
present site next to the main road in 1809.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The land was given by the Rev Thomas Smith, Lord of the Manor, and the
building was registered or licenced in the Consistory Court of the Archdeaconry
of Richmond on September 27<sup>th</sup> 1810.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The building was extensively
renovated in 1874 at a cost of about 600 Pounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was reopened on December 18<sup>th</sup>
1874. During 1875 some visitors to Swaledale wrote in the “Christian World
Paper”:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“We noticed by the roadside a
simple, substantial-looking little stone chapel, with a bell, and a much more
ecclesiastical and comfortable aspect than is usual in such out of the way
regions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has been nearly rebuilt and
repewed, and now it is a model of simplicity and neatness, and we hear is well
attended every Sunday.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the 18<sup>th</sup> century
the Church was occasionally described as a Presbyterian Church but in the 19<sup>th</sup>
century was clearly Congregational and a member church of the Congregational
Union. In 1972 there was a national union of Congregational and Presbyterian
churches to form the United Reformed Church, so the church fellowship is now
United Reformed Church. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
David Simpson was born at Orwell,
near Kinross in Scotland and was educated at both St Andrew’s & Edinburgh
Universities before working as a domestic tutor in a nobleman’s family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He came to England in 1780 and ministered at
Eastwood near Halifax and Holcombe near Bury before coming to Swaledale on
November 25<sup>th</sup> 1787.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

the daughter of the Rev Daniel Phillips of Hopton, Norfolk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Rev Dr Nathaniel Phillips, Presbyterian
Minister in Sheffield, was Lydia’s brother.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
David Simpson ministered at Low
Row for 20 years and died there on March 22<sup>nd</sup> 1808 aged 69
years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was buried at Smarber Chapel
on March 25<sup>th</sup> 1808.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On his
death he left 50 Pounds to pay a schoolmaster in Low Row.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Rev John Allason served from 1807 - 1835</b>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">John Allason</b> was born at Cotherstone, near Barnard Castle, and was
educated at Homerton Academy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He became
a minister of a dissenting church in Uppingham Rutland in January 1802 and it
was there that he met and married his wife Susannah Sewell on 21 February 1804
(she was 16 years at the time).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He left
Uppington to come to Swaledale in 1807 as assistant to David Simpson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After David Simpson’s death John continued as
minister.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He started a day school and by
1833 there were 20 boys and 6 girls attending this school but most of the 50
Pounds left by David Simpson to pay for a schoolmaster had been spent on debts
on the building.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">John and Susannah Allason had eight children but tragically only three
survived to mature adult life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Susannah
herself died in 1833 aged 43 years and John Allason died in 1836 at the age of
62 years. There is a monument to the Allason family on the wall of the present
church.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A number of John Allason’s
letters have survived showing him to have had a keen interest in, and knowledge
of local dissenting church history, to have often been in poor health because
of comsumption and lumbago, and to have often be seen seeking to improve his low
income with applications for various grants and charities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the same time he generously sent gifts of
grouse or cheese to his benefactors. </div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Bible Charity established by Philip Lord Wharton.</b></h3>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Philip Lord Wharton</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">also
founded and endowed his Bible Charity in 1693</b>, a scheme devised on a grand
scale for encouraging children from poor families to read and study the
scriptures. He left land near York which subsequently became known as the Bible
Lands Trust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His intention was to present
Bibles to children to be their personal possession (not just for use in Sunday
School or Church).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Initially Bibles were
available in those parts of England where Philip Lord Wharton had lived or
owned property but by the twentieth century this became expanded to include all
parts of the United Kingdom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
conditions were that the recipient had to be able to read, and to be able to
recite from memory Psalms 1,15,25,37,101,113 and 145. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Lord Wharton was a puritan and a
non-conformist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His original instructions
were that the Shorter Catechism as approved by the Westminster Assembly of
Divines (and still known today as the Scottish Catechism) should be distributed
with the King James translation of the Bible to the recipients. Over the years
the original trustees died and were replaced in the main by Anglican clergymen
who misinterpreted Lord Wharton’s wishes and began including the Church of
England Catechism instead of the Scottish Catechism, and by the nineteenth
century the Bible and the Book of Common Prayer (sometimes in separate volumes,
sometimes combined) were distributed almost exclusively through the Church of
England.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
However a few free church
ministers (including John Boyd from Low Row in Swaledale) knew the history of
the Trust and approached the Charity Commissioners for re-dress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was partially successful in that the
Charity Commissioners decreed that the Trust should be divided into two - one
half to be administered by the Church of England and the other half by the free
churches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although at the time some
free-churchmen still felt that they had been cheated it is to be remembered
that Lord Wharton himself was always in favour of toleration and comprehension
and so would probably not have disapproved of the present day arrangement.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Today the Trust is still alive

There are many variations of spelling - Aisbitt, Aisbett, Nesbett, Naisbett which has made research very difficult as Newcastle is on the border of the two counties of Northumberland & Durham. With other supporting information I am confident the information in this Post is correct. Note the spelling on the marriage certificate for Elizabeth and William is Aisbitt.</div>

This business in Elizabeth Street backed onto a lane in Melville Street alongside 44 Melville Street, Hobart. It is interesting to note that Haywood's <b>"Excelsior Steam Biscuit Factory" </b>was earlier <b>Macdougall's Printing Office</b> where books and newspapers were Published and Printed. Susannah Haywood's sister Sarah married William Macdougall. It was William's grandfather <b>John Macdougall</b> <b>and his son John Macdougall, who were Proprietors and Editors of "Colonial Times" from 1825 - 1855. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>William's father Archibald Macdougall was also a Printer.</b> <b> Archibald Macdougall </b>was brought over to Adelaide, South Australia from Hobart as the Printer, complete with printing equipment, to publish South Australia's second newspaper from June 1838. In 1840 Archibald gained the Government Printing contract, but this eventually forced him into bankruptcy when the Government dishonoured a bill for nearly 1000 pounds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Archibald is noted for Printing & Publishing "Life and Adventures of William Buckley" 1852.</b><br />

<b>Extract from "Before we eat - a slice of Tasmania's Culmary Life" </b>Contributed by Michael Sharland "Once Upon a Time: Some Tasmanian Tales.</div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Haywood's Biscuits 1854</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
C.D.Haywood & Co was Tasmania's besat known biscuit makers. They existed for just two years short of a century (1854 - 1952). Their Excelsior Steam Biscuit Factory was in Melville Street, Hobart and the quality of their biscuits was aid to be their success secret, their best known brand being "Snax". And they thought up the nattiest trade slogans such as "Haywood's for Happiness" and "Don't say biscuits, say Snax". After 98 years they were virtually "swallowed" by Swallow and Ariel, which in turn became one with the national company Arnott-Brockhoff-Guest Pty.Ltd. <b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<b>"Once Upon A Time": Some Tasmanian Tales </b>by Michael Sharland 1976.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr C.D.Haywood, respected church-goer, member of the Hobart General Hospital Board and supporter of charities, also employed girsl, teenagers mostly. They iced the cakes and packed the fancy biscuits, cleaned utensils and swept the floors - but not where there were boys. Mr Haywood was strict about this, and clamped down on fraternisation among the sexes. So, segregated by dividing walls, boys and girls never saw one another. Never in the factory were there such diversions as wolf-whistles or the occasional sighting of "a nice bit of skirt".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moreover, to make it harder for them to meet, the girls started work somewhat later and knocked off a little earlier. This ensured that all girls would be half way home by the time the boys were let out. Tophatted and completely formal, Mr Haywood wouldn't stand for any thing that might bring boys and girls together, such as congregating outside the factory door or down the street. Even at midday break it was rarely that a boy ever saw a girl in or near the factory. Thus did drudgery for many go unleavened by a glimpse of the opposite sex.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Men and boys worked from 8am to 5pm four days a week. On Fridays they worked a span of 13 hours, from 8am to 9pm. On Saturdays it was 7am to noon. It was as well that living costs generally were low. The average wage for a boy was 12s 6d ($1.25). For a half hour tea break on Fridays they were granted 6d (5c) to buy fish and chips or a meat pie, or they could make do with broken biscuits, usually in plentiful supply.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The boy packers were on piece work. They were the junior elite, their take home pay sometimes coming to 1 Pound ($2) a week. Packing biscuits was a thoroughly tedious job. Frpom the steam ovens came long metal trays hardly cool and holding several dozen biscuits. Each biscuit was picked up by hand and packed in a large square tin lined with greaseproof paper. The boys, extremely dexterous, were paid according to the number of tins they packed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a while Haywood's converted their plant from steam to electric power and it was to a large extent then automatic. Large conveyors encircled most of the factory, the biscuits came direct from the cutting machines, went through the ovens, and were packed straight into the tins, ready for dispatch with only one handling. The factory was well known for its delicious wafer biscuits, either sandwiched with cream or just plain. The baking of wafers was done by gas, and the cutting by miniature saws electrically driven at high speed. After all, while the wages appeared low, the boys had reasonable pocket money for the week. Of their 12s 6d week, 10s would pay their board, at home or in a workman's boarding house. Sixpence did them for a movie show, for a few milk shakes, and by the end of the week they possibly had a few pence left over towards a used pair of boots or hand-me-down trousers. It wasn't all that bad.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After death had claimed their worthy principal, Mr C.D.Haywood, the company's management was in the hands of the following directors: Chairman, Mr C.E.H.Ferguson; Managing director, Mr M.G.Butcher (hon A.D.C. to the Governor); Mr Percy Ash and the factory manager, Mr F.Cripps - all Tasmanian born.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Haywood's were consistently good advertisers. This was another of their contributions to local industry. Any signwriter with an account with Haywood's who displayed their wares rather prominently this way, would not need to have had much of a bank overdraft. Files of both "The Mercury" and "The Tasmanian Mail", from which this story has mostly been drawn, frequently ran their page and half page advertisements in display size type. Few outlets for advertising were neglected. Even the smallest shops stocked Haywood's biscuits. "Snax" for snacks, was a seller.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And the mock-up of a bushland picnic, using a current Chev as the stage set, was but another demonstration of their enterprise, in biscuit-making and publicity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of Hobart's many attractive reserves, the university reserve opposite the railway station, had been the idea of Mr.C.D.Haywood. The area had once been unkept, a kind of no man's land. Mr Haywood encountered opposition to his plan of beautifying the reserve, fronting the former university. But his plan went ahead. Lawns and flower beds were laid out, and the Rose Society had since carried on this beaurification. The university reserve, as it is still called, was leased by the City Council from the Crown in 1916 on a 99 years' tenure.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the seventies Charles Duncan Haywood had his confectionary business premises five doors down from the corner of Melville Street. The factory was at the back, going down the lane in Melville Street, and he resided with his family at the shop. In after years he opened a biscuit shop in Murray Street, opposite where Saunders Chambers are now, and his daughter carried it on. When Messrs. A.G.Webster & Son bought the "Bird in Hand Hotel" in Argyle Street to extend their warehouse, Mr Haywood bought it from the firm, and engaging a contractor, all the stones were numbered, and the whole building removed and re-erected in Melville Street, next to where the present factory stands. Mr Haywood soon found his biscuits so popular that he decided to concentrate on biscuits alone, and disposed of his other interests. From that time the manufacturing business has steadily grown, and is now the largest and most up-to-date in the State. Upon his death, it was formed into a proprietory company (C.D.Haywood Pty. Ltd.) and in 1924 extensive structural alterations and additions were made to the premisies and the most modern plant installed. After C.D.Haywood's death the biscuit factory was bought by "Swallows" and known as "Swallow-Haywoods".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, Haywood's Biscuits, and particularly the famous "Snax" are known throughout the Commonwealth and from this small beginning one of Tasmania's leading industries has grown.</div>

<b>"The Spectator" August 5 1920.</b><br />
<b>A well known Tasmanian Layman.</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The late Mr.Charles Duncan Haywood, J.P. was born in Hobart on September 18th, 1842, and was associated with the Melville Street Church from childhood right up to the day of his death in his 78th year. Whilst no data is available as to the manner and time of his conversion, it is certain that as a lad of 13 years of age he joined a class for Christian fellowship, and later continued oversight of the late William Witt, for whom he had a very warm affection. After being a scholar in the Melville Street Sunday School, Mr Haywood joined the teaching staff, both there and at High Street (now Swan Street). Subsequently he conducted the Melville Street Young Men's Class for many years. So successful was he as a teacher that there still remains in the possession of the family a touching testimonial to the love and esteem of the Young Men's Association in those early days, which helped largely to draw out and develop the gifts which later adorned his public life. Giving up work in his Sunday afternoons for visiting the sick and aged, and in this way laid the foundations of that deep and sympathetic interest which he has during more recent years taken in sufferers of the Sunday School in 1886, he at once set aside all sorts, and of which was so markedly a trait in his fine character. In 1868 the late Mr.Haywood was married to Miss Susannah Allason. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a member of Melville Street, no one loved his church more fervently or served it more devotedly than Mr Haywood did. For close on fifty three years he did the duties of door steward with a fidelity, a tact, and kindness above the ordinary. This is surely an Australian record for such service. For many years he was Treasurer of the Melville Street Church trust, sparing no pains to keep this fine property in a state of comfort and repair. By his sterling worth, he has earned a place on the roll of the most honoured laymen of our Australian Methodist Church. A man of deep piety, he carried his religion into his daily life. True to all his convictions, and ready to suffer for them (as he did many times) he was a man of stainless integrity, and of a big and warm heart. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a father, a husband, and a friend, he was always true and loving. As a citizen and a businessman, he has always stood for what is honourable and of good report, and gave most liberally of his time and abilities to the numerous public institutions which minister to the needs of the poor and sick and infirm. The Hobart General Hospital, the Homoeopathic Hospital, the Institution for the Blind and Deaf, and the Belevolent Society, all shared in his fine gifts. As Alderman and Mayor of the City, a member of the Licensing Bench, and a Justice of the Peace, Mr.Haywood did the work of a Christian citizen in a way which won the esteem even of those who most widely differed from him in opinion and way of life. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The manner of his death was to himself singularly happy. Permitted up to the ripe age of nearly 78 years to engage actively in his daily persuits, after one brief hour of weakness the spirit of Charles Duncan Haywood quietly passed within the veil just as a new Lord's day was dawning (on Sunday July 11th 1920). Who could wish for him a more befitting entrance on Life than was thus graciously granted him. He leaves to mourn, their loss a widow and two daughters, one of whom is the wife of the Rev.Walter Beckett, who is so well known in many of our Tasmanian circuits. At the In- Memoriam service, which was conducted by the Rev H.A.Overend, in the Melville Street, Church on Sunday evening, July 18th, special references were made to the long and valuable services of Mr Haywood. The great congregation which assembled, representative of all classes, was a fine tribute to the respect in which our brother was held. The text was very appropriate to the man, "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches".</div>

<b>"The Argus" Tuesday August 4 1936</b><br />
<b>DEATHS - BECKETT</b> On the 3rd August at Epworth Hospital, the Rev.Walter Beckett, Methodist Minister, the loved husband of Clare Gertrude, and devoted father of Maude (Mrs.J.G.Johnson), Minnie (Mrs F.J.Renkin), and Kenneth. In his 70th year. He was not, for God took him.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>"The Methodist Spectator" September 16 1936.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>IN MEMORIAM - REV WALTER BECKETT.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rev.Walter Beckett was a man in whose character there was nothing of duplicity; and when his lamented death occurred this was the universal testimony of those who had known him best: He was a good man! He was born into a family that may be described as a minature society - he was the fourth child of Robert and Eliza Beckett in a family of thirteen, twelve of whom grew to adult life, to become active members of the Methodist Church, and to exercise an influence of graciousness characteristic of the Beckett family. The name of the late Hon.Robert Beckett, a brother, is still remembered with great esteem in church and civic life; while another brother, Rev William Beckett, serves a useful ministry in our church, at present at Queenscliff.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Walter Beckett was born in London in 1866. When he was three months old the family came to Victoria, on account of the ill health of the father. Several changes of abode were necessary, which turned out to be of advantage to the church, for as the family moved around in the metropolis they were able to do pioneering work. Mr.Beckett, sen., was instrumental in commencing several causes in this way, and it was his joy to see them develop later into live churches.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Walter definitely gave his life to Christ at the age of ten at services conducted by the late Rev.Ebenezer Taylor. He commenced preaching in the Richmond Circuit when the bounds of that Circuit extended as far as Ringwood. Later offering himself for the work of the ministry he was accepted, and in 1891 began at Corryong and Cudgewa a ministry that was to be charactised by singular grace. He completed his probation in Tasmania, and here married the lady ordained by God to be such a true helpmeet. Their first married circuit was Deloraine. In all, Rev Beckett served 19 years in Tasmania, and holds the record for continuous service in that island. His last appointment was to Castlemaine, and while there he was chairman of the District. He retired in 1932, and went to live at Mont Albert with his wife, the name given to their house being "Deloraine", in memory of their first Circuit home. At Benson Street, Canterbury, Rev Beckett rendered service as minister of that growing church, and endeared himself to his collegues and all in the circuit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was remarkable that his last service should be at North Richmond, for it was Richmond that he commenced preaching. After he had received the verdict of his surgeon that an operation was necessary, and that he was to go into Epwporth Hospital, he received a request to preach at North Richmond on Sunday evening, 25th July. He gladly acceded. He preached on the text, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved". The service has been described as one of power, and since then there has been a gracious work amongst the young men and women. After that service he went into Epworth Hospital. He was making steady progress after the operation, and was on the way to speak a word of cheer to Rev H.J.Ham - who died a day or two later - when his heart collapsed, and he passed away with a glad, clear assurance of joy and peace.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Had he lived till 16 August Rev.Beckett would have celebrated his jubilee as a preacher. He looked forward to conducting the service on that day in the Mt.Pleasant Church (Box Hill Circuit), where he first commenced his work. He was unable to do this, but it was fitting that his place should be taken by his son, Rev.Kenneth Beckett, who had flown from Central Australia to attend his father's funeral. - W.E.J.</div>

<b>Troubled times on King Island</b><b> </b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>The years on King Island were not good times for the family. Firstly</b> <b>Hugh Macdougall </b>was most unwell from 1907, with many lengthy times in Hospital. By September 1909 Hugh's spinal injury was so very serious that he was encased in plaster of paris in December 1909. After six years of continuous and cruel pain, <b>Hugh passed away on 7 August 1913 from "exhaustion originating from long continued Tuberculous Disease of the Pelvic bones - with suppuration"</b> in Launceston Hospital. Hugh was cremated (C52 Methodist Section), at Carr Villa Cemetery, Launceston, Tasmania.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Disaster struck the Macdougall family again about </b><b>25th June 1914 when William had an accident on the "Lorne" property</b>. He was not found for 2 nights and 2 days, having been exposed to extremely cold weather for that long period. Injury and exposure resulted in permanent loss and use of both lower limbs and he never walked or worked again. After 21 months in Hospital on King Island, William was transferred to Launceston Hospital for 6 months. On 4 September 1916 William was transported by car to Hobart. Sarah & William lived at "Bleak House" in Montpelier Road, Battery Point until 17 July 1917, then they took up residence at "Roslyn" in 12 Swan Street, North Hobart until 19 October 1920. Their next move was their last, to "Renfrew" 14 Swan Street, North Hobart. </div>

adapted by Joy Olney 2012.</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">On Monday 29 June 1914 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
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 dispatched giving what information was available then.</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 first
thought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had laid two nights and two days where he
fell jambed 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. 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;">
<br /></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 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 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. 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. 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. Mr.Willie Lightfoot got the pair horses and
four-wheeler and took the girls down, reaching “Lorne” at midnight. <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;">

<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;">

<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;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">News came from King Island
on 18 September that the injury William sustained at “Lorne” three months ago,

his lower limbs and that therefore he will be unable to walk or work again.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Obituary – Mr.W.A.Macdougall</b></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;">
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;">
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>

today.</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 Australasia 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></div>
<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;">
</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;">
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: center;">
<br /></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 />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<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>

<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 Shoobridge gave away one-third of his income for the last 25 years of his life to deserving causes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b></b></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>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</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 />

In 2008 Joy & Peter Olney visited "Fenton Forest", the Shoobridge property where Leslie Macdougall tutored the 4 Shoobridge boys of Hon Louis M.Shoobridge from 1897-1899. In those days they were growing hops but today it has cattle and some vegetable crops. Antony & Timothy Shoobridge (sons of Jim Shoobridge) were living at "Fenton Forest". Joy gave the family some memorabilia.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<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>

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>

I have in my possession the <b>wedding gift that Rupert Shoobridge gave Leslie and Beatrice </b>on the occasion of their marriage on 9 September 1912 - <b>a silver sugar scuttle</b>. Mr & Mrs W.E.Shoobridge from Bushy Park gave them a <b>silver & glass jam dish</b>, also in my possession.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many of the Shoobridge children went to <b>"The Friend's School"</b> in Warwick Street, Hobart run by the Quakers. Samuel Clemes was appointed Headmaster there in 1887. June 1900 he established Leslie House School in Pirie Street, New Town and <b>Leslie Macdougall commenced teaching there as Classical Master</b> on 8 October 1900. Samuel's son William became Headmaster in 1915. Leslie House School became known as Clemes College after Samuel died in 1922. In 1946 Clemes College amalgamated with "The Friend's School".</div>
