Richard Henry Thame

  Research Notes:

source: Alex & Robyn Leeflang who writes:
My greatgrandfather Richard is buried in Barraba cemetery - quite a large headstone - I think the tallest in the whole cemetery !. At the foot of Richard's grave there is a very small plot with a rusted iron fence around it - it contains the remains of my Aunt Belle, who died at about 2 years of age. It is quite poignant to see it.

  Noted events in his life were:
