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. |

Last week brought forth another of those melancholy events which unfortunately are of too common occurrence in this district. On Wednesday last, Mr. Jonathan Regent, a farmer, residing on Tumut Plains, left home in the morning to look after some cattle, intimating to his wife his intention of being back in the evening. Evening came, however, but not poor Regent, and he being a man of very regular and punctual habits, his wife and family became alarmed at his absence, and as night drew on kept an anxious look out for his return, but alas! it was ordained that - For him no more the blazing hearth shall bum, Or busy housewife ply her evening care; No children run to lisp their sire's return, Or climb his knee, the envied kiss to share. On the following morning the neighbours instituted a search, which did not terminate successfully till about three o'clock on Friday afternoon, when Regent and his horse were both found dead about six miles from his residence, under a tree which had been struck by lightning. It is therefore conjectured that he had taken shelter under this tree during the storm that prevailed on Wednesday afternoon, and had been struck by the lightning. Death, both to himself and his horse, must have been instantaneous, there could have been no struggle, as one of Regent's feet still remained in the stirrup. His remains were brought home and interred in the Church of England cemetery on Saturday at noon, a large number of persons testifying their respect for the deceased by following his remains to their last resting place. The deceased was a man who had created a friendly feeling towards himself by his neighbourly conduct and his polite and cheerful manner. Perhaps no higher praise could be awarded to any man, than to say he was a good neighbour, and few indeed will be found who would deny that title to the late Jonathan Regent.la8 In another part of the same newspaper was the following notice; DEATH. Killed by lightning on Wednesday, January 29, near Tumut, Mr. Jonathan Regent, brother-in-law to Mrs. James Taylor, Adelong, aged 50 years, leaving a widow and seven children to deplore the loss of a loving husband and affectionate father. Footnotes: A The register of deaths at Tumut Court House noted that 'John Regent died at Tumut'. It said that he was 'Found dead in the bush' on 30th January 1862. Cause of death: 'Killed by lightning, was missed from home and found dead.' It said that he was buried in the Protestant cemetery, Tumut, on 31st January 1 862. Comment by Col. James Waddell:- "I have been to the site of Regent's death twice, first in 1980 and again in 1990. On both occasions my grandfather and I were taken to the site by Lindsay Buckley in a four- wheel drive vehicle (my brothers came with us on the second visit). The site is up in the mountains, on a timbered knob. A stone cairn marked the site, which Lindsay found on each occasion following a short search in the bracken. My grandfather remembered having ridden to the site as a boy, with a riding party. The exact site has been pinpointed on a large- scale map. Herb Buckley described the site as being on the property 'Honeysuckle'." James Waddell (descendant). |

Married Isabella Smith in 1848 Queanbeyan with 8 children born of this union. Sydney Mail (NSW : 1860 - 1871) Sat 15 Feb 1862 Death by Lightning.— Last week brought forth another of those melancholy events which unfortunately are of too common occurrence in this district. On Wednesday lost, Mr. Jonathan Regent, a farmer, residing on Tumut Plains, left home in the morning to look after some cattle, intimating to his wife his intention of being back in the evening. Evening came, however, but not poor Regent, and he being a man of very regular and punctual habits, his wife and family became alarmed at his protracted absence. On the following morning, the neighbours instituted a search, which resulted, about three o'clock on Friday afternoon, in the finding of Regent and his horse, both dead about six miles from his residence, under a tree which had been struck by lightning. It is, therefore, conjectured that he had taken shelter under this tree during the storm that prevailed on Wednesday afternoon, and had been struck down by the electric fluid. Death, both to himself and his horse, must have been instantaneous; indeed, there could have been no struggle, as one of Regent's feet still remained in the stirrup. His corpse was brought home and interred, in the Church of England cemetery on Saturday at noon, a large number of persons testifying their respect for the deceased by following his remains to their last resting-place. |
