Upon arrival at Mt Elrington the Crawfords found their accommodation to be very primitive a slab and bark hut hardly more than 20 x 10 feet in size. This was divided into two sections comprising a partitioned bedroom and a living/kitchen/dining area, all of which had to be shared with the Cochranes. John, being adult, was fully employed with his father on the station where the "boss cocky", the Major, treated them with consideration. However, Archibald tells of floggings on the station, meted out to the convict workers for derelictions of duty. He says he could not equate this cruelty with the kindness shown to him by the Major. After a year or so at Elrington the Crawfords moved to Jinglemoney Station, which is still shown on maps about 12 km about w.s.west of Braidwood and is also close to or on the banks of the Shoalhaven. In those times it was apparently fairly common in that region for men to be paid their wages in kind and it was at Jinglemoney that Alexander began to acquire his own stock S some sheep and soon a large mob of cattle. He also gained a head of cattle in liew of ,10 deposit he had lodged for the purchase of some land and the deal fell through. Such a growing asset probably led him to move to work at several other stations as the years passed. Archibald was ten when they ended up at Dry Plain Station and it was there, through the encouragement of one of the farm employees, a storekeeper called John McKinley, that he acquired the rudiments of writing and reading. He also mentions in his autobiography that his mother, Mary, always spoke Gaelic at home although outside it she could use English with reasonable skill. He remembers that she had a sweet voice and sang songs in Gaelic to them. Mary also spun wool on a spinning wheel made for her by one of her sons-in-law, William Brayshaw, and she knitted garments for her family. It was about 1843 that Alexander Crawford obtained a property for himself. In partnership with a Charles McKeachnie (sometimes McKeachanie) they purchased the lease of "Bobyan" [sic] for ,20 but soon discovered they had to pay a further ,10 to the Government for previously unpaid land rent on the property where they ran 100 head of cattle. McKeachnie was later bought out by Archibald's brother John and William Brayshaw, probably in 1845 for Brayshaw is known to have been at Boboyan in that year. John's sister Flora had married William Brayshaw at Dry Plain in 1844. William was to die aged 77 on 19 November 1888 and Flora aged 70 on 10 May 1891. The graves of each lie side by side in Old Adaminaby Cemetery along with the burial places of other Brayshaws, some Crawfords and Lockers. Another account of unknown source says that the Cowley area around Boyboyan was opened up by a John Gray, a Queanbeyan storekeeper, who employed Charles McKeahnie there from 1839 to 1844 to superintend a small mixed herd of cattle. McKeahnie, an illiterate Scots immigrant, had arrived in Queanbeyan at Christmas, 1848, and took control of Boyoyan when Gray left the district. After a few years the property passed to Alexander Crawford. |
