Summary

As such he received grants of land and in 1825 was joined by two brothers, William and Thomas. In 1833, Henry settled on his own land becoming in turn grazier, squatter, hotel proprietor and politician. In 1847 Henry, William and Richard combined to set up a boiling-down and meat preserving works at Newcastle.
