Sarah Jane Brien

  General Notes:

Records show Benjamin was baptised by Rev. Thos Reddall. Sarah and Benjamin were married by the Rev. John Troughton (No 28 in Register), and the witnesses to the marriage were James Graham of Campbelltown and Sarah's sister Mary Ann Pearce. Benjamin took over the "Taminick" property from his father on the 01/06/1858 and it did not change hands until the 07.07.1871, nearly 20 months after his death.
When Benjamin died in 1869 he was buried at "Taminick" Station. His remains were later removed to the Wangaratta Cemetery and allegedly re-interred in the same grave as his wife Sarah Jane - no mention of this is on the headstone.

From information received in Wangaratta, there were suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of Benjamin, and that there were persistant rumours that he had been murdered.

  Noted events in her life were:

• Baptism, 1 Jan 1826, St Philips C of E, York St, Sydney, NSW Australia.
