Personal Notes: |
John, Thomas, and Elizabeth Wilkinson were an outstanding pioneermg trio. They were born at Liverpool, New South Wales - John Wilkinson on 30 December 1821, Thomas Wllkrnson on 16 January 1824, and sister Elizabeth Wllkinson on 16 July 1826.
On 27th July 1829 the Wilkinson children’s mother, Margaret Wilkinson, was drowned whilst crossing the Georges River in a canoe. In December 1830 a half brother, Henry Wilkinson, was born to their father, William Wilkinson, and Catherine Ryan. A few years later William Wilkinson, Catherine Ryan and the four children moved to Gundaroo, twelve miles from Lake George. Another son, Edward “Wilkinson, was born to William Wilkinson and Catherine Ryan at Gundaroo circa 1834. By 1838 cohesion of the family had broken down. Young Thomas Wilkinson, then aged 14 years, and his sister Elizabeth Wllkinson, aged 12 years left Gundaroo for the Tumut district, where they joined their brother, John Wilkinson. Accompanied by Thomas Boyd (previously a member of the Hume and Hovell party) and his wife Ellen, as well as bringing 70 head of cattle with them, they journeyed to the Gilmore just upstream from Boyd’s Selection. They had crossed the Murrumbidgee at Darbalara and the Tumut River at Mundong crossing (known later as Mill Angle). After settling down on the Gilmore, building a hut and putting in a crop of wheat, George Shelley claimed that he held under licence the whole of the whole country from the Tumut River to the head of Gilmore Creek and that the Wilkinsons had no right to depasture their stock on his run. Henry Bingham, the Crown Lands Commissioner, who had wide powers over land occupancy, ordered the Wilkinsons to move to Yallowin, where they were granted a licence for twenty-five square miles of country. John Wilkinson married Elizabeth McAlister in 1847, who was born on 10 May 1830 at Darbalara and was the first white child born on the River. In 1865 John Wilkinson acquired "Springfield" and this property has remained in the family ever since. Mrs. Wilkinson died at Springfield on 26 July 1899 and John died on 19 May 1892. Their children were; > Margaret Elizabeth Wilkinson (married Charles Beegling). > Caroline Sarah Wilkinson > Charlotte Ellen Wilkinson > Eliza Ann Wilkinson (married Fred Lampe) > John Thomas Wilkinson > Thomas Edward Wilkinson |
