| Personal Notes: |
|
Thomas Boyd had been a member of the Hume and Hovell expedition. In January 1825 he had passed across the Gilmore Valley and it was the grandeur of this area that enticed him to select there in 1832. His property was between the Gilmore and Wondalga Creeks immediately below Rosebank.
In 1848 Thomas Boyd’s property contained 12,400 acres. It was known as Run No. 14 and called "Jugyong". It had a frontage of one and a half miles to Gilmore Creek and six miles to Adelong Creek. The map of the County of Wynyard dated 1861 shows Thomas Boyd had an area of 160 acres freehold with a frontage to the Gilmore Creek at Rosebank. Thomas Boyd was born in Dublin in March 1798. He married a Miss Ellen Hickey. They had a family of 13 children. Thomas Boyd brought many of the pioneer families to Tumut 1n his bullock dray during the 1830's and later. In February 1881 when he was 83 years of age he was officially invited to attend the opening of the railway line to Albury. He had been the first white man to cross the Murray River and the Premier of Victoria during a speech, promised to grant Boyd a gratuity, but although the New South Wales Minister afterwards made a grant of £50 the Victorian Government did not honour its promise. For some years Thomas Boyd had been a prosperous grazier but through unfortunate circumstances he lost everything. He was reported to have been a very honourable man and a good specimen of the old Australian pioneer. The Evening News of 30 June 1885 recorded the death of Thomas Boyd at Gilmore. He died 1n impoverished circumstances at Gilmore on 26 June 1885 in his eighty-seventh year 1n a mlserable bark hut, attended by a daughter. A friend guaranteed the funeral expenses. He had resided on the Gilmore Creek for 57 years. A fine memorial headstone in the Old Cemetery at Tumut marks the last resting place of this grand old pioneer. It was made possible by public subscription. This memorial was erected over forty years after his death. |
