| Personal Notes: |
| James Bourke in 1822 was made constable in Campbelltown where he was granted 60 acres, five of which he offered for the Roman Catholic Chapel, school and cemetery. About 1834 the Bourkes squatted beside the Murrumbidgee and began ‘Gumly Gumly’ comprising 30,000 acres. James died not long after they had set up ‘Gumly Gumly’, in mid 1835, leaving Mary with three very small children and a huge place to run. |
