Born 31/08/1849 (Hannah married Noble SOPHER 11 Nov, 1886) Noble SOPHER was the son of Thomas SOPER who arrived in AUS from Devon, UK, 17th August, 1820. He worked for Captain Richard BROOKS at Kangaroo Valley. Thomas wife was Martha NOBLE who travelled from County Fermanah, Ireland on the SS Pearl arr Sydney, 15/08/1841. She was niece of Dr Kenneth McKENZIE who had settled ne the property of Tom FUNNELL at “Bundanon” (upper reaches of the Shoalhaven River). They had five children Charles, Noble, William, and Margaret and Jane. In February 1852, a flood washed the house away. “The three boys all poor swimmers were tied to a table, turned upside down with a mattress tied to it, their father hoping that this makeshift raft would save his sons. Hearing nothing of their fate, Thomas and Martha, with their two daughters left for Sydney, where their passage had been booked for London. Thomas visited the Wollstonecraft/Berry store, where there was much talk of lads tied to a table being picked up none the worse for their experience. The family immediately returned to Greenwell Point where they were reunited with their lost sons.” In 1852 they settled at Cambewarra, at a property named “Cedar Grove”. The descendants of Thomas/Martha SOPHER are the SOPER, HILL, ABERNETHY (Home Lands/Garden Hill Brown’s Mountain; School Creek Budgong + another, MONAHAN, MULLINS, ARMSTRONG & MILNE families. Thomas and Martha were noted to be buried under a large white Magnolia tree at “Cedar Grove”
