Personal Notes:
John Bray, soldier with the First Fleet and later settler at Concord enters the story.
Ten children were born to John his eldest son, and amazingly, a number of current
Elworthys can trace their ancestry directly from three of them.

St Peter's Anglican Church, Campbelltown
John Bray & his second wife Elizabeth, along with John’s younger daughter Alice Sarah are buried together in St Peter’s Cemetery, Campbelltown. Written on their tombstone is:
’Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age like as a shock of corn cometh in his season.’
