• source. Win & Steve Sinden & http://www.easystreetretreat.com.au/australianroyalty which notes:
Elizabeth was a passenger aboard the ship 'Buffalo' which sailed from England in 1798 and arrived in New South Wales on 3 May 1799.
Four months after his first wife Catherine had died, William, a widower with 8 children to care for, married Elizabeth Bean (nee Bradley) the widow of William Bean - herself the mother of 8 children. The Beans, Bradleys and Fishburns had been neighbours for many years. Although there were no children from this marriage, Elizabeth would have played an important role in the lives of the younger Fishburn children. She could read and write in a colony of mainly illiterates. The younger children of William learned to sign their names yet the older ones marked their 'X' when they signed official documents.
The cemetery was opposite their Castle Hill Farm. Her headstone reads:'Sacred to the memory of Elizth Fishburn who died Oct 20th 1870 Aged 74 years'.
William her husband was buried next to her after his death on 19 Apr 1872.
Stained glass memorial windows were placed on the south side of the old St. Paul's Church of England at Castle Hill inscribed:
'Wm. Fishburn died 19th April 1872' and
'Elizth Fishburn died 20th October 1870'
These windows survived a fire which gutted the church in January 1987.

(William Bean was born on 8 Sep 1792 in London City, Middlesex England, christened on 31 May 1799 on board the 'Buffalo' on way to Australia and died on 24 Oct 1834 in Sydney, NSW Australia.)
