    • 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).

  • Notes 
    • 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. (Medical):Duration of illness : 3 days
