| Personal Notes: |
|
David married Ann nee White on 17 Jan 1834 in Applegarth, Dumfries Scotland
Source: http://monaropioneers.com The family first settled at Mulgoa where David was employed as an Overseer on a property known as Shancomore. (Source: Mary's baptism certificate.) From, "Wells Geographical Gazeteer of Australia" Shancomore was situated in the Parish of Bringelly, county of Cumberland NSW at the junction of Bringelly Creek with the Nepean or Cowpasture River. By 1839 they were on the Monaro. According to Claire Schofield in her book "Bombala, Hub of Southern Monaro," David Bell, in 1839 was Superintendant of "Gunningrah" for John Terry Hughes, a merchant, and brewer of Elizabeth Street, Sydney. This was correct as their fourth child was born at "Gunningrah" in 1838. However a correction must be made at this point as Claire stated that David Bell came free on the "Lusitania" and was an upholsterer in George Street, Sydney in 1828, this is incorrect as in 1828 our David Bell was still living in Scotland. "Gunningrah" was 25 square miles of open forest country on granite and whinstone. Hughes did not live on the station which supported nineteen residents. Buildings were six slab huts, one woolshed, and one set of stockyards. Sheep numbered 4051, cattle 1244, and horses 25. Twenty acres had been cultivated and sown to wheat." (Ref. Commissioners of Crown Lands Itineraries: Lambie, Monaro 1839-45- Archives Office of NSW). When Elizabeth was baptized David was shown as a Settler on the McLaughlin River, Manero. Spring Flat was on the McLaughlan so it appears the family had already moved to the area where David was to eventually apply for a land grant. The family's abode as Spring Flat first appears on Robert's baptism details in 1844. David's occupation, Grazier. 1848 (Agnes' Baptism) he was shown as a Settler, Spring Flat. In "Bombala, Hub of Southern Monaro" David was listed as Licensee and Superintendent of Spring Flat. A lease application had been made by David Bell for 10 240 acres on the McLauchlan River. ( Ref. "Squatting on Crown Lands in NSW" by J.F. Campbell On 27 April 1854 David was given the land known as "Spring Flat" in the Manaro District, County of Wellesley. (Ref. Letter from the Society of Australian Genealogists, Sydney 1975.) In 1849 David Bell's name appeared on a list of 172 squatters whose lands had been surveyed and then published in the Government Gazette. With his total of 10 240 acres, it would appear he made a good choice of grazing land. He made certain his run was secure when he paid 160 pounds for 160 acres around his house on 9 August 1854 following an application dated 18 April 1854 for the land now legally available to him. 1851 10th March David applied to purchase 160 acres at Spring Flat in the district of Manaro. He was to pay 160 pounds by 26 April 1854. Ref. Return of Applications to Purchase Portions of Runs of Crown Lands beyond the settled district. 1865 Spring Flat Station 7200 acres, occupant David Bell, capacity 350 cattle; charges 26 pounds, 8 shillings, and 2 pence. Ref. Bailliere's NSW Gazeteer and Road Guide Melbourne 1866 David and Annie remained at Spring Flat where they reared a family of nine children. Annie died on the 12 January 1873 at "Spring Flat" aged 60. She was buried on the property beside two of her sons. When David died in 1886, he too was buried there. This cemetery is now on private property but the headstones were transcribed for me some years ago. David and Annie had nine (9) children, Jane, Mary Ann, David Joseph, Elizabeth, Annie, Robert, Agnes, Margaret, and, David Joseph. David married Elizabeth Fitzpatrick on 12 Sep 1876 in St. Matthias' Church of England, Bombala, New South Wales. They had 1 child Robert in 1881. He married Grace Sturgeon in 1914 Inscription IN AFFECTIONATE MEMORY OF DAVID BELL NATIVE OF DUMFRIES, SCOTLAND WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE 28th FEBRUARY 1886 AGED 76 YEARS BLESSED ARE THE DEAD WHO DIE IN THE LORD |
