Personal Notes:
Anne PERCIVAL nee COX by Brian Stephen

Anne COX was born at Coolreidy, Limerick, Ireland in 1825, the fourth and youngest child of Oliver COX and his wife Ann nee CONWAY. Her father became gravely ill the following year but before he died he asked his cousin, Joseph COX, to take care of his widow and young family. Joseph did so and eventually married the widow Anne and to this second marriage another four children were born.

In 1836, Joseph COX decided to take his wife and the eight children to New South Wales. They embarked on the ship Lady McNaughton which sailed from Cork on 5 Sep 1836 and arrived at Port Jackson on 26 Feb 1837. The ship was grossly over-crowded as the 420 emigrants tried to store excess baggage and trunks in the companionways, the holds being filled to capacity.

It was a terifying voyage during which typhus fever, measles, dysentry and scarlet fever broke out. Forty-four children and ten adults died including the ship's doctor. Anne's youngest brother, William, died on 18 Jan and her mother lingered for another month before dying on 23 Feb, just three days before the ship sailed into Sydney. On arriving in Sydeny Harbour, the Lady McNaughton anchored just inside North Head at Spring Cove, where the healthiest of the emigrants were housed in tents. The Lady McNaughton was turned into a hospital ship where the remaining emigrants were treted. Joseph COX and his children were amongst those who remained on board. Ann's sister, Catherine COX, did not recover and died on 10 March 1837 aged 3 years. She was burried in the Quaranteen Station grounds. A fellow passenger, Mary MALONEY, who had befriended the family during the voyage, tended to the ltlle COX children during their mother's illness, and continued to care for Joseph and the children on their arrival in Sydney. Joseph COX subsequently married Mary the following year and another nine children were born.

Now both of Anne's parents were dead, but she was surrounded by a step-father, and step-mother, siblings, half-siblings and step-siblings.

Anne COX went with the family when Joseph COX took on the management of a cattle station on the Murrumbidgee River. Later Joseph took up the lease of a run at Wyangle, between Gundagai and Tumut, where Anne helped with the gruelling labours of the house and the additional work of the babies as they arrived.

On the 15 Nov 1840, at the tender age of fifteen years, Anne COX married Thomas PERCIVAL, from a neighbouring property on Brungle Ck. The ceremony was conducted by Fr Lovatt at the Catholic Church in Yass. The couple lived on at Brungle Ck for about ten years, where Anne gave birth to their first six children; John, Catherine, Julia, Isabella, Thomas and Joseph. Their eldest son John died as an infant and another son, also name John was born in 1853 at Spring Creek near Adjungbilly. Thomas then decided to move closer to Tumut, taking up land at Bombowlee where he became the host of Bowbowlee Inn. Whilst assisting Thomas on the farm and in the hotel, and looking after her brood, Anne gave birth to another eight children - Anne, James, Emily Jane, an unnames child, William Augustus, Eliza Mary, Oliver and Rebecca who was born in 1870 when Anne was 45 years old. In april 1866 Thomas Percival was succeeded by Daniel French as the licensee of the Bombowlee Inn and turned his energies to full time farming.

After 46 years of marriage, Anne Percival lost her husband, Thomas, on 21 Oct 1886 when he died of old age at their hime at Bombowlee. Anne had already suffered the death of five of her children - beside the two who died as babies. Oliver died at 5 months, Eliza Mary died four months short of her fourth birthday, and Emily Jane died in 1875 at the age of 15. However, Anne carried on with her life, enjoying her children and grandchildren many of whom still live in the Tumut area. Some of the family had gone further afield to be near her COX relations who had settled at Livingstone Gully near Mangoplah.

Anne is described as a strong woman of small build with red hair and a fair complexion who took a great deal of pride in her appearance. She would work hard all week then go to Mass on Sundays - the sulky would be all polished up, the horse groomed till it shon and Ann would wear her finest clothes.

A new century had come to pass and many changes had taken place since those early pioneering days. In 1901, Australia became a Federation when all the colonies were united under one Federal Government. The following year, Dr Mason was treating Anne as her tired heart was beginning to fail. Finally on 25 Sep 1902, Anne passed away and was burried two days later beside her husband in the Old Tumut Cemetery.

Daughter of Joseph and Annie

Adelong and Tumut Express and Tumbarumba Post (NSW : 1900 - 1925) Fri 3 Oct 1902
The insatiable Reaper claimed the second in the person of Mrs. Thomas Percival, one of our oldest residents, who at the ripe age of 77 years fell a victim to senile decay. Deceased came to New South Wales the year Governor Bourke left the State. She also was a native of County Clare, Ireland, and 62 years ago was married to Mr. Thomas Percival, a native of Manchester, England who died at the age of 86 years in the year 1886. The pair were married by the Rev. Father Lovett in Yass and came straight to Tumut and at first settled down on Brungle Creek on a place now occupied by Mr. C. Burns. They afterwards came to Bombowlee and started an hotel on Bombowlee Creek 48 years ago. Those who knew deceased (who was of a kindly and benevolent nature) speak of her in the kindest terms ; a warm friend and a fond mother, ever watchful over her family. Her maiden name was Miss Cox and the following were the brothers and sisters of the deceased :— The late Mr. John Cox, of Mangoplah Station, father of the present holder of the run and of Mr. J. Cox, Inspector of C.Ps. ; Mrs. King, of the Rock Station, and Mrs. E. A. Fitzgerald, of Kyeamba, Wagga Wagga. Her step sisters are Mrs Gormley and Mrs Cox of Wagga.
There were 15 children in Mrs.Percival's family, three sons and three daughters of whom predeceased her, Those living are Mrs. Clunes of (Wagga), Mrs. T. Eggleton (Tumut), Mrs. S. Piper (Tarcutta), Mrs. Hudson (Germanton), and Messrs. Thomas, Joseph, John, James, and William Percival. Deceased, who had been hale for her years up to June last, had been carefully attended to by Dr. Mason ; but fate decreed her term of life had ended, and she died deeply regretted and respected by all. The funeral took place on Friday last. Rev. Father O'Dwyer performed the last sad rites at the grave, and Mr. W. Himsworth carried out well the undertaking duties. We offer the bereaved ones deepest sympathy.
