- Notes: I believe Ellen was accurate in stating Henry had been in the colony 32 years, so arriving c1831 (allowing for months). For this reason I believe he was the Henry Wilson who came on the “Camden”. The men who were witnesses at the wedding arrived about the same time and were also assigned in the Hunter district, near this Henry, until the end of 1840.
