Extract from "A History Springs to Mind" by Kerrin Cook P98
"John and his wife Mary went to Spring Hill about 1875, after having lived all their lives in the Windsor, Pitt Town Area. John's mother, Martha, was a convict, having been charged with stealing some clothing, and he had been born in prison in 1798 before his mother had left for Australia. They arrived in NSW on the 'Speedy' on 11 April 1800. He was therefore, a free man. In 1820 he married 15 year old Mary Horton, who was the daughter of two convicts, and whose mother had come out on the same convict ship as John and his mother. John was granted land at Richmond and later purchased land at Agnes Banks where their 13 children were born and raised. Two of their sons, Joseph and William Thomas, stayed on the Agnes Banks property after marrying. After being wiped out by severe flooding of the Hawkesbury, the three families decided to move to Spring Hill. John never owned and land in the area, but Joseph took up 50 acres at Huntley and William purchased 50 acres at Spring Terrace.
Mary survived only 12 months in Spring Hill, dying in 1876 aged 70. She is buried in Orange Cemetery. John died in 1884, aged 87, and is buried in the Church of England cemetery at Spring Terrace."
"Joseph was the fourth child, and second surviving son of John and Mary Burrell. He was born in 1828 at Agnes Banks, near Richmond. In 1851 he married Catherine Gavin in the Catholic church at Mulgoa. Joseph and Catherine moved to Spring Hill with Joseph's parents in 1875, taking up land first at Pretty Plains and later Huntley.
Joseph and Catherine had 16 children. Joseph died on 27 Aug 1908, and is buried at Millthorpe. Catherine died in 1911, also buried at Millthorpe."
