| 502 | Jesse claimed to be only 54 years old when he married Sarah but was, in fact, 70. John Oxley who was the witness to the marriage, is likely to have been the son of the famous explorer and Surveyor General, John Oxley (1724-1828). | Family F2009

| 503 | Jesse Dunk was born in 1790 at Sussex in England. When he was 18-19 years of age he joined the army as a volunteer in the 2nd Battalion Muster in May 1809 and was stationed on the Isle of Wright. By August 1809 the Battalion was in Spain and Portugal. On the 25th December 1811 he transferred to the first Battalion in Spain until 1813 he was sent to France sick. He then went to Canada where he fought the Americans until September 1815. When he returned to Montmartre near Paris he was engaged in battle against Napolean. The musters indicate Jesse enjoyed good health in one of the most rigorous campaigns ever fought. This was borne out in that the Military General Service Medal, issued in 1848, only to those men who had survived up to 1847 received it. The Medal with Bars for Busaco, Albuhera, Vittoria, Pyrenees and Toulouse was sent to Jesse in New South Wales in Australia. The name of his commander in the Peninsular Campaign was Arthur Wellesly, later known as the Duke of Wellington. Jesse met and married Charlotte Sellins in 1818 and they had seven children, John 1819, William 1821, Jesse 1822, Sarah 1824, Martha 1827, Thomas 1829, Elizabeth 1832, all children were born in Mountfield, Sussex. Charlotte died in March 1835 and is buried at Mountfield. Jesse later married Susanna Silvaris (of whom nothing is currently known), and only three years before his death, he was married for the third and last time to Sarah Hilder, the first cousin of his son-in-law, John Hilder. Jesse, his children sailed for Australia in 1839 on the ship "Florist" and landed at Sydney Cove. Jesse was employed by Mr J.E. Manning of Sydney and Camden at "Vermont" at a salary of twenty pounds per year. Jesse is interred in the cemetery at St Johns Church of England at Camden.

| 505 | John Corney m at Poling Evidently the father of John who died in 1805owning Preston Manor Farm and founder of Corney Charity. | Corney, John (I8094)
|
| 506 | John Gilbert married Hannah Hilder in 1827, two years after the birth of of her son John HIlder. Many researchers have made the assumption that John G is the father of John H. However, throughout his life John HIlder retained the name of Hilder and no trace of any office record of a father/son relationship has ever been found. John and Hannah are also recorded by many researchers as having children in Hampshire after they were married. As these birth continue for at least 10 years after John, Hannah and John arrived in NSW in 1841, this is patently incorrect. | Gilbert, John Bowing (I6662)
|
| 507 | John GOODE was born about 1836 in Cambridgeshire, England, the son ofRichard Goode and Mary, neé Skinner. When John first came toAustralia as a young man he resided in the Maitland area for a coupleof years, but was later attracted to the oldRocky River diggings bythe stories of fabulous wealth which trickled through the country inthe 1850s. John later selected the property "Spring Creek" at Ardingduring the 1870s and had resided thereon until his death on December4, 1915, aged 79 years. The property is still held in the Goodefamily. He was buried in the new cemetery at Uralla on December 6,1915. John Goode came to Rocky River, now a small settlement nearUralla inNorthern New South Wales during the gold rushes. From Nundlein thesouth to Tenterfield in the north there were a series ofgolddiscoveries. At their peak, they were of sufficient importance tohavetheir own seat (the Northern goldfields seat) in the NSWParliament. Rocky River was an alluvial field with a populationthat reached around 5,000. Following the gold period, John Goodefree selected land at Arding nextdoor to Rocky River. The property,Spring Creek, is still in the Goodefamily. John became a respectedcitizen and his signature is included inthe Citizens' remonsterance(spelling?) congratulating Constable Walkeron shooting Thunderbolt.Thunderbolt was a major local bushranger. | Goode, John (I37)

|
| 512 | John Weeks, Shepherd, Protestant, Age 24, Neither reads nor writes,from Hanley in Dorset. John and Hannah and their two daughters, Elizaand Mary, together with John's brother Benjamin and wife Frances(Jeanes), sister Jane Vincen and her husband George and his cousin,Richard and wife Mary Ann Bradley and Mary Ann's brother GeorgeBradley, came out to Australia as Bounty Immigrants to work for theMacarthur family at Camden Park. An account of their lives isfound in "Camden: Farm and Village Life in Early New South Wales" byAlan Atkinson. In particular pg 214 Appendix 1: Bounty Immigrants toCamden 1837-9. Arrived in Australia by the "Brothers" 8 Apr 1837.John Weeks, Hannah Hayter, Mary Ann and Eliza Jane Weeks all arrivedin Sydney NSW on the "Brothers" on the 8th April 1837 as bountyimmigrants to The McArthur Family at "Camden Park" the farm of Johnand Elizabeth McArthur they were committed to work there for 3 yearsto repay their fare out to Australia.

|
| 513 | John, Hannah and two children, came out to Australia aboard the ship"THE BROTHERS" with sister John's sister Jane and brother Benjamin.There is some confusion as to the year of John's birth. His deathcertificate lists his age as 71 & 11 months in July 1881. meaning thathe was born Aug.1809. His burial record says he was 72 not 71 and hisimmigration records list his age in 1836/37 as 27 years, making himborn in 1809 or 1810. Alan Atkinson in his book "Camden" gives his ageas 27 years in 1837. From the christening records and the ages of hissiblings, the most logical conclusion is that he was born in 1810 andthe death certificate should read 70 & 11 months not 71. From theLexigraphical Index: Hannah Weeks, Protestant, age 21, Read/Write -Read only, from Berwick. f: George m: Hannah Marriage record states'With Banns and consent of Father George". Witnesses were Joseph Westand Martha Maidment. Note : Except for the family of John and Hannah'sdaughter Jane and son George the greater part of the information aboutthis family was, received via gedcom file, sent by Christine Harris ofWestern Australia. Contact with Christine was lost about 1999. It wasre-established in late November 2004. In my very early researchMarie Hamilton, (nee Weeks) of Blaxland NSW contributed many details,and dates etc. about the family and their descendants. She is a directdescendant through the only son George. Note:- Hannah Maria waspregnant with Marianne on arrival in Sydney. | Hayter, Hannah Maria (I7919)

|
| 543 | Maria had three children before she married Thomas Beck. All threewere registered in the surname of "Weeks". Although unlikely, thesecond and third born children, Arthur and Emily, could well have beenthe children of Thomas, because they all remained close together.Family stories have it that Thomas and Maria split up late in life.After marriage, Thomas worked on the construction of the Railway Linefrom Nyngan to Bourke. Thomas was a "Driver". ie. as the rail lineswere laid in place, Thomas drove the horse drawn waggons of steelrails, sleepers and crushed blue metal (and water), for the nextstage, as far along the newly laid track as had been completed. Thomasand Maria stayed on at Bourke for a couple of years after thecompletion of the railway. Two children, Charles and Annie, were neverregistered, as far as official records go, because there is no recordanywhere of their birth. But family members are certain that they werechildren of Thomas and Maria, because they remember their own parentsspeaking of both as uncle and aunt. They also contend that Charles wasthe eldest of all the Beck children. They say he moved to Queenslandbut did not marry. There is room in the years, between the registeredbirths, for Charles and Annie to have been born. The family had movedto the Sydney suburb of Gordon, sometime before 1891, because Williamwas born there. They remained at Gordon - or at least Maria did. Anniedid not marry and she stayed on at the same address, after Maria andThomas died, until some time after 1950 which was the last time hername appeared on the Electoral Roll at the Gordon address. She diedabout five years later. The family of Maria's first born child, Frank,apparently had little to do with the Beck families, particularly thegrandchildren born after the end of the first world war . Some membersof the Beck family say that Frank did keep in touch with his mother.Frank did not leave Boorowa until he retired around 1920. It isunlikely that the Beck family ever returned to the Boorowa area.Frank may not even have met his mother until late in life if at all.These notes were recorded in visits to senior members of the family in1990/2 and at a "Weeks" family reunion in Brisbane in 1994.Conjecture, of course, but Arthur, who was born after Frank, obviouslystayed with Maria and Thomas, because he married at Liverpool underthe surname "Beck", even though he was officially registered as Arthur" Weeks". On the other hand Emily, born after Arthur, married underher registered name of Emily Elizabeth Weeks. on the CommonwealthElectorial Roll 1901 Maria and her family were living in DrumesqueStreet Gordon and only a few doors away were Emily and her family.This would indicate that Emily also remained with Maria and Thomas asa child of the marriage and was with them (or at least with Maria)from birth until the family moved from Bourke to Gordon around the1890's. This seems to be confirmed by her marriage to John ThomasBromley at Gordon in 1894. NOTE;- The photo of Maria, was sent bygrandson Leslie Cook, from his home in England. Louisa was Leslie'smother and she and her husband moved to England soon after marriage.Judging by the place of registrations of the birth of their childrenThomas must have applied, and been accepted, for work on theconstruction of the Nyngan to Bourke railway line, (a distance of 200+ kms.) soon after they married. Construction began about that timeand Charles would have been born about 1876. The first registeredchild was Matilda in 1878 and this registration was at Forbes. Thatdoes not mean Matilda was born at Forbes, but registered there. Therewas no Registrar at Nyngan so Forbes was probably the nearest at thattime. The same applies to George who was registered at Dubbo. TheRailways Department set up a new town half way between Nyngan andBourke and it was there where the families of the workers weresettled. It was called Byrock. At one time there were 5.000 peopleliving at Byrock. Today there are 25 and only a few remnants of thesettlement remain. The railway was completed in 1885. While most oftheir children, up to that time, were probably born at Byrock, theirregistration birthplaces are listed as Forbes, Dubbo and Bourke. Theseregistrations were obviously made by mail or, by some method asorganised by the Railways Department, remembering that with so manypeople living at Byrock, some method of registration would have had tohave been organised by the Railways Department. The family must havesettled in Bourke for a few years after the work ended, because, for atime Thomas was a compositor on the Bourke local newspaper " TheAustralian " for a while, before returning to the employ of the NSWRailways. Thomas, and family, must have moved to the Sydney suburb ofGordon, between when Clara died at Bourke in 1889 and when William wasborn at Gordon in 1891. At Gordon Thomas at first is described as afettler and later as an Assistant Stationmaster. | Beck, Thomas (I9061)
