POEM: HENRY KENDALL BY HIS MOTHER

Posted by nellibell49 on September 18, 2008

REFERENCE POINTS WITHIN THE POEM.

(Kiama Independent, Oct 16, 1883)

HENRY KENDALL

(By his mother)

rgncmpuj

1. He was born at the foot of the mountain,

WHAT MOUNTAIN ? The South Coast NSW is a dim memory to me. My apologies to Milton people and YatteYatta people. Lets see what mountain Henry and Basil were born under.  Peter has visited Kendall Dale and has the block of land on which Melinda and Basil lived pointed out to him. He did not at that time notice the Mountains, so he says. What mountain says he ?  He does tell me that the twin’s birthplace is the property Kirmington next door to what is now KENDALL DALLE at Yatteyatta .

Following the death of THOMAS KENDALL in 1832 and the newly found ( new to me ) criminality of Basil O ( Henry’s father as opposed to Basil E his twin brother) Melinda and Basil ( apparently) retreated with the eldest brother THOMAS SURFLEET, the matriarch JANE QUICKFALL KENDALL and families to live in the County of St Vincent at Nolla Dolla.

from Marjorie Kendall’s KISSIN’ COUSINS – Basil and Melinda settled on part of the land granted originally to THOMAS KENDALL. Their settler’s hut was built on YAKUNGARRAH CREEK ( marked as CEDAR CREEK on Rev Kendall’s map)  

Their twin sons THOMAS HENRY KENDALL ( HENRY) AND BASIL EDWARD KENDALL were born April 18 1849 at MANDNAL .

There were 8 children in the then un-named Parish. The Rev McFie paid an 1840 visit to the District and baptised and took the details of the 8 children including the twins. Melinda is listed in the Rev McFie’s baptismal records as MILLINDA MCALLAN.  Christina Jane was born in 1842 and baptised by the minister for Camden and Wollongong and the other children were born in Sydney.  

Methinks she means the Pigeon House Mountain.

ALSO known by its original name of Didhol or Woman’s Breast from it shape.

Probably not mine to use but I am desperate and acknowledge this fine blog. This is PIGEON HOUSE MOUNTAIN across JERVIS BAY. Follow the links below to sites on Pigeon Mountain and the Buddawang Mountains.

2. He was taught his first letters in sand
In which sand and where. It is presumed  that the KENDALLS remained in Kirmington and Milton.

AN ELEGANT ASSORTMENT OF LADIES’ DRESSES WHITE BLACK AND COLOURED TRIMMINGS WHITE AND COLOURED SHOES
WHITE SARSNET BED FRINGE SEWING SILK OF VARIOUS COLOURS

 

Not that Judith was likely to be shopping for fashions at the time. Also it was only after peace was declared between France and England that the English realised how far behind they were fashionwise. Add a long sea voyage and NSW was in all probability WAY behind the times. Perhaps the least of Judith’s concerns.

BACK TO THE PAPER:

http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article628958

A few days previous to the  30 July, a Red Morocco Pocket-Book had been lost between Pitt and George Streets. It contained 27s 6d in Currency bills, a note of hand drawn by JOHN PALMER ESQ in favour of MRS ARMYTAGE, 3 receipts for 11Pds each and a number of other papers and memorandum of no use to anyone but the owner. Said Owner was offering a very liberal reward to any Person who delivered the Book with its contents to MRS ARMYTAGE 88 Pitt-street.

Out in the District of Minto, CHARLES THROSBY ESQ was cautioning all Person against trespassing on the farm of JOHN TULL. The trespass included that of stock.He threatened prosecution in EVERY case of Detection.

Two steady and active youths were wanted as Apprentices to the business of SADLER, COLLAR and HARNESS MAKER. 4 years was the least term to be taken Particulars were with WILLIAM HIBBURD at PARRAMATTA.

http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article628962

SATURDAY 13 AUGUST 1814 SYDNEY GAZETTE AND NSW ADVERTISER

A cart driven by a servant of JOHN HARRIS ESQ of ULTIMO,with provision for his stockmen at the SOUTH CREEK was stopped near Moore’s Bridge on the Liverpool Road and robbed – by a ruffian with a musket and pistol. The Ruffian took all the provisions as well as the mare which pulled the cart. The mare had not been heard of since nor seen. The mare is described as remarkable – a bay inclined to sorrel with a white mane and tail.

John Harris features later in the lives of the McNallys in conjunction with the pig stealing at Castlereagh. Whatever may be the rights or wrongs of the theft of the pigs, Harris was giving credit to Judith and provisioning the family.

The Gazette had heard from the Broxbornebury that several months before she departed from England , information had been received that a French armament of 3-4 frigates had been sent from France for the purpose of putting down on the Coast of NSW. Was it to open a sanctuary for privateers? Such was the suggestion made in the Gazette. A hiding-mode rather than open hostility. Whatever the French had intended did not come to pass. The ‘design of the french Government was doomed to fail in the onset’ for the frigates were taken when scarcely at sea.

1800s Costume History

http://www.fashion-era.com/regency_fashion.htm

1800-1825 is it Late Georgian, Regency or Both?

The period 1800-1837 is part of the Georgian era. George III was insane after 1811, but alive until 1820. His son the Prince Regent, George, acted as Regent for nine years of the King’s madness, then reigned 1820-1830. Because of the influence of the Georgian Prince Regent on the era, it is known as the Regency.

IN THIS YEAR : 1814 ; SYDNEY GAZETTE SATURDAY 30 JULY

Posted by nellibell49 on September 18, 2008

http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article628955

IN THIS YEAR : 1814 ; SYDNEY GAZETTE SATURDAY 30 JULY

JEOFFREY H BENT Esq arrived on the 28th July to be Judge of the SUPREME COURT of JUDICATURE. This court had been recently established for the Territory of New South Wales. As we know, Judge Bent had come per the BROXBORNEBURY. (He kept a diary of the voyage which is available for reading at NLA but which I do not have access to much as I would like to.)

On the 30th July the Broxbornebury was at anchor in Sydney Cove. Judge Bent was to land in the forenoon of the 30th and to be greeted with a 13 Gun salute from Dawe’s Battery. This was a command of his Excellency the Governor ( LACHLAN MACQUARIE) and H C ANTILL was major of Brigade.

Under GOVERNMENT AND GENERAL ORDERS from HEAD QUARTERS, GOVERNMENT HOUSE, SYDNEY came this mention of the SURRY.

“ The male convict transport , SURRY, which arrived in this harbour from England on the 28th instant, having brought a malignant fever of a very infectious nature of which the Master ,first Mate, and forty other men have died during the voyage, previous to the arrival of the ship in this port; His Excellency the GOVERNOR had deemed it expedient to use every possible precaution to prevent the danger of the Contagion extending from her to the population of the Colony; and with this view he has given orders to institute the most rigid Quarantine Regulations in respect to the Ship herself and all Persons on board her until such time as the Fever has entirely subsided and the People now infected are recovered,

It is therefore the Governor’s most positive Orders that no Persons whatsoever ( the Medical Quarantine Officers and their Attendants excepted) shall have any intercourse or Communication of any sort with said Ship or the Persons now on board her until such Time as she is relieved from Quarantine which will be announced in Public Orders; and the Governor further directs and commands that no Person shall visit or have any intercourse whatever with the Military Detachment, Sailors and Convicts who are about to be landed from the said Ship on the North Shore of Port Jackson; where they are to remain encamped under strict Quarantine Regulations until further orders:- There will be a Guard on board the Ship Surry and also on the North Shore; to enforce these Orders; and any Person detected in attempting to act in Disobedience of them will be confined and most severely punished”

By order of his Excellency,

The Governor.

J T CAMPBELL Secretary.

The Governor was greatly agitated in the matter of the runaways and Bushrangers . He directed that any person known to be harbouring them or holding intercourse with them would forfeit EVERY INDULGENCE on the part of the Government. They would also be PUNISHED “with the utmost rigour of the law”.

The Governor also reflected ‘with the greatest abhorrence’ on the unparalleled depravity of DENNIS DONOVAN. Donovan had been recently executed. The Governor was horrified that Dennis, instead of repenting and praying to his ‘offended creator’ went out of his world ‘protesting in the most solemn manner his total innocence of the murders of the two unfortunate men, JENKINS and EDWARDS at the Parramatta Turnpike. Hmmm! Two innocent men had apparently been accused of the crimes and almost met an early end on the Gallows –the Governor considered that Dennis Donovan from ‘detestible malignity to his fellow creatures and to life itself’ would not confess even at the cost of the two innocent men’s lives

AND FROM THE BROXBORNEBURY:

THIS IS TO GIVE NOTICE TO EVERY PERSON THAT CAPTAIN THOMAS PITCHER OF HIS MAJESTY’S HIRED STORE-SHIP BROXBORNEBURY, WILL NOT PAY OR CAUSE TO BE PAID ANY DEBTS THAT THE SEAMEN OR ANY OTHER PERSON UNDER HIS COMMAND MAY CONTRACT WITHIN THE COLONY OF NEW SOUTH WALES.

      IN THIS YEAR 1814 : SATURDAY SEP 3 ; NEWS FROM THE GAZETTE

      Posted by nellibell49 on September 17, 2008

      LIFE IN THE COLONY AS SHOWN IN THE PAPER OF THE DAY.

      PATRICK was sent to LIVERPOOL for distribution. At this time, with my limited researching skills, we do not know where Judith and the children were and nor do we know where Patrick was assigned. Bear with me. I am new to this and extremely non-professional. I shall therefore take myself into the papers and see what they have to tell me.

      http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article628971

      SYDNEY GAZETTE 27 AUGUST 1814

      The SYDNEY GAZETTE printed the GOVERNMENT AND GENERAL ORDERS.

      All Offenders were to be brought before A COURT OF CRIMINAL JURISDICTION assembled at the office of the JUDGE ADVOCATE.  Soldiers were to be provided for that. From the

      46th Regiment – 3 Captains, 1 Surgeon and 1 Subaltern.

      Detachment of 73rd Regiment – 1 Subaltern.

      (A subaltern is a military term for a junior officer. Literally meaning “subordinate”,)

      From the DEPUTY COMMISSARY GENERAL’S OFFICE.Sydney 25th August 1814.

      Now the Commissary according to my 1949 CHAMBERS SHORTER DICTIONARY with bright yellow cover and curling blue re-binding along the spine – in the Army is the one who furnishes provisions.

      In August 1814, the Governor has directed the Deputy Commissary’s Office to issue articles of clothing to Each Mechanic and Labourer in the Emply of the Government and also to the servants of Officers and Settlers. Most, if not all, of these are actually Convicts,transported to NSW. The Clothing issued is called SLOP CLOTHING.

      The Governor directed that the SLOP CLOTHING would be issued :

      SATURDAY 3RD SEPTEMBER at SYDNEY.

      SATURDAY 10TH SEPTEMBER at PARRAMATTA, WINDSOR, and NEWCASTLE.

      The slop clothing consisted of ;

      · ONE COTTON CHECK SHIRT

      · ONE BLUE CLOTH JACKET

      · ONE PAIR OF BLUE CLOTH TROWSERS

      · ONE PAIR OF SHOES

      · ONE LEATHER CAP

      Parramatta, Windsor and Newcastle are called out-stations and an officer was to be sent in to Sydney to provide details of the names and numbers of people requiring the clothing issue.

      _______________________________________________________________________

      A REWARD was offered by the POLICE OFFICE SYDNEY. Patrick COLLINS had runaway from Newcastle. He stood charged with “being an aider and abbetter” in the Murder of WILLIAM ALDER and others. This took place at MOTHER MAHER’S CREEK on the HAWKESURY in March 1814. Whoever could cause Patrick Collins to be apprehended and lodged in the gaol at Sydney would receive TWENTY POUNDS STERLING.

      A goodly number of prisoners had absented themselves from their employments. Two of them were JOHN POOLE and THOMAS THOMAS, both of whom had arrived in the SURRY I. (The Gazette spells it SURRY) All Constables and others were “ hereby strictly required to use their utmost exertions in apprehending and lodging them in safe custody.

      Most editions of the Gazette included a list of absconders. On this list were :

      IN THIS YEAR : 1814 . THE SHIPS HAVE DOCKED

      Posted by nellibell49 on September 17, 2008

      Jeffrey H Bent had arrived on the Broxbornebury along with Judith and the children on July 28 1814. The Broxbornebury carried some very prestigious people. Judith is not likely to have been one of them with her husband a convict.

      Known to have been on the Broxbornebury in the ” upper classes “were :

      BARBER, George (c1795-1844) came free to reunite with his mother in Sydney in 1814, when he travelled on the Broxbornebury. His mother’s second husband , Charles Throsby was a surgeon and Magistrate.

      SIR JOHN JAMIESON.

      J.H BENT. MAGISTRATE OF THE SUPREME COURT

      JOHN HORSLEY.

      MRS MARY GREENWAY

      GEORGE WILLIAMS

      JOHN STILLWELL

      ____________________

      It seems that nine of the convicts on the Surrey I had free wives on the Broxbornebury most with children. That means that Judith travelled for months in close company with them. Through deaths, births, illnesses and all the attending circumstances of such a voyage. The voyage lasted 5 months and app 200 people were on board.

      For me, I am now wondering what connections might have continued between the McNallys and the other Voyagers once they had arrived in NSW. Most of the Female convicts were sent to the FEMALE FACTORY at PARRAMATTA.

      (This is also the year in which John READY came as convict on THE THREE BEES and was assigned to GOVERNMENT HOUSE WINDSOR where his mother, JOHANNAH, was HOUSEKEEPER. JOHANNAH had been transported on the ARCHDUKE CHARLES in 1812.  At the same time ANN MORAN and JOHN CURTIS were in the PARRAMATTA area. )

      FREE WOMEN WITH CHILDREN WHOSE HUSBANDS WERE ON THE SURRY I OR HAD COME ON OTHER SHIPS AS CONVICTS.

      I am listing them as a group on the presumption that they would have shared quarters or been in very close contact and that they would have had at least slightly different conditions from the convict women.

      The CROSS and BOGG families were on board and

      JANE DAVIS and her children.

      ANN THOMPSON and son WILLIAM. The Pitt Town connection comes in here. Ann’s husband who was an educated convict set up a school at Pitt Town – and Ann joined him on her arrival in 1814.

      JOSEPH FERNANCE AND HIS MOTHER MARY. Mary and her husband John had a large number of children once they were reunited and five of these children were born in PITT TOWN as was Melinda.

      • ANNE GAINS and her child JANE. Her husband died on the SURREY I.

      MRS GREENAWAY and 3 children.

      • HANNAH HINSHAW ( Henshal/Henshaw) and children. the HINSHAWS were living in KENT STREET in the 1828 Muster ( as were the MacNallys) Husband JOHN on SURREY I.

      The GREGORY family who travelled with a convicted mother. In later year Mr Bogg, shoemaker, apprentices one of the Gregory boys. Following the death of their mother and the return to England of their father the Gregory Boys were placed in the MALE ORPHAN SCHOOL- but in 1826, Mr Bogg takes on George. Young Edward is apprenticed to the Institute of Shoemakers, perhaps with some influence from Mr Bogg. Mr Gregory was on the SURREY I as a free settler.

      (These are the kind of connections I am seeking. A trip of that nature under the circumstances existent in the lives of the Voyagers – What are the later connections ? What bonds formed during the Journey? How did they overlap on the ship and in the Colony ? Of what import were these people in the lives of the McNallys in after years – if any ? )

      ELIZABETH HOWELL and her 3 children.

      • SARAH BLADES. Husband THOMAS on SURRY I.

      MARIA COWAN and her son.

      MARY MCPHERSON and 3 children.

      SUSAN NEWSHAM with 3 children.

      • HANNAH RAE ROBINSON and children. Husband RICHARD on SURREY I.

      ELIZABETH TOFT and children.

      SARAH TOOL and child. With her husband SARAH and family lived at Castlereagh and Windsor and when defeated by farming. they .like the McNallys came into Sydney to live in Kent Street.

      THE WHEELER FAMILY , JANE and children. IN 1828, they were living in Castlereagh street as was Melinda. One of the daughters Maria had married JAMES MORRIS JNR and her sister had married one of the BOGGS.

      • ANN WHITTAKER and her two sons. Her husband THOMAS was on SURRY I with Patrick and in the Colony they went on to run a hotel in the ROCKS.

      ELIZABETH WISE and children

      DOROTHY WOOD and her daughter.

      • MARY WRIGHT whose husband was on the SURRY I.

       

      • SOPHIA KINGSMORE a convict woman later marries JOHN KING from the SURREY I.

      Some of the Broxbornebury voyagers owned or managed hotels in the Colony. An easily accessible meeting place for the Sydneysiders.

      Harriet Horne, one of the convict women, made a second marriage to a Mr Drinkwater and they also were living in Kent St in the 1828 Muster.

      Norah Murphy one of the convict women was living in Kent St in 1825 Muster.

      ANN WILSON married a Mr Hilliard and she died in Kent street in 1839.
