John Regent (a native of Stowmarket, Suffolk) came from England to Queanbeyan. The Regent family evidently moved to Tumut around 1850. Jonathan Regent and Isabella Smith marrled on 29th June 1848 at Christ Church, Queanbeyan. Their first child was born the same year. Their second Child Elizabeth was born on 15th September 1850 in the Tumut Valley. For a time John Regent worked for Robert Cooke and it is claimed that he planted the great English trees now growing along the roadside at Petfield. Later he was employed for many years by George Shelley as a stockman on Tumut Plains station. He selected a farming property on Tumut Plains and there reared his family. Whilst mustcring cattle in 1862 he was struck by lightning. He was found three days later and brought to Tumut where he was buried in the Church of England section of the cemetery. Some years later his son George Regent was working with H.L. Harris at Wermatong when the axe being used by Harris flew off the handle and entered George Regent's stomach. Harris tied his waistcoat tightly around the wounded man, then raced to the homestead for a needle and thread with which, he securely stitched the gaping wound. Some while later George Regent became seriously ill and died. Another brother, Willie Regent, sustained a compound fracture of the leg whilst working at Wermatong. He was tied to a sofa and carried for attention by a dector atTumut. Men had to be tough in those days to Survive the many serious accidents. |
