22	Elizabeth Hainsley [sic] is listed among the prisoners, along with her sister-in-law, Maria Hainsley [sic], tried at the Nottingham Quarter Sessions in England on the 14th of January 1795. She was tried. The court issued the following indictment: "Indictment found at this Session against Elizabeth Hainsley late of the parish of Caunton in the County of Nottingham, Widow and Maria Hainsley late of the same, Widow for feloniously Stealing taking and carrying away One brass pot and One brass pan of the Value of Ten pence of the Goods and Chattels of one William Hodgson To which Indictment the said Elizabeth Hainsley and Maria Hainsley severally pleaded Not Guilty but upon their trial were severally found Guilty And it was ordered by the Court that the said Elizabeth Hainsley and Maria Hainsley be severally Transported to parts beyond the Seas for the Term of Seven Years." Elizabeth arrived at Port Jackson on the 30th of April 1796 onboard the 'Indispensable'. Elizabeth, 26 years old and Maria, 21 years old, were both widows from the village of Cauton, near Newark, Nottinghamshire; Elizabeth, however, was originally from Newcastle, Northumberland. They were amongst the 133 female convicts transported onboard the 'Indispensable' which left England in November 1795 and arrived at Sydney, New South Wales on the 30th of April 1796. How she served her sentence or met James is not known however in 1801 she is listed as living off stores as she was residing or employed by Cpl Brumby. Women were scarce in the Colony and cohabitation between soldiers and convict women was normal. Elizabeth's sentence expired in 1804 after serving 7 years as a crown servant. In the Returns of Women who have been Convicts and are present at Hobart Town, Norfolk Island and Port Dalrymple, 1811, she is listed as Eliza Annesley. Elizabeth could not write and her name is listed as whoever was writing it at the time interpreted it. In 1810 Governor Macquarie arrived in Sydney Town to take control of the colony and he immediately set about to improve the conditions of the colony. One of his first reforms was a "proclamation against the scandalous and pernicious custom so generally and shamefully adopted throughout the territory of persons of different sexes living together unsanctioned by the legal ties of matrimony". He further stated that neither favour nor patronage was to be accorded such persons. James and Elizabeth were subsequently married on the 18th March 1811, in St Johns Church, Launceston by the Reverend Knopwood before witnesses William Lyttleton and Thomas Howard. On the same day their two sons, William, 6 years old and John, 3 years old were baptised.	Elizabeth AINSLEY

25	Adrian Dan Brumby enlisted in the 26th Battalion, 7th Brigade of the 1st Australian Imperial Force (AIF) on the 24th of June 1915. He served as a Private in the Battalion where he saw service in France, on the Western Front. Adrian Brumby died on the second day of the battle of Pozières, the 29th of July 1916 and is buried at Villes-Bretonneux, France. His entry in the Embarkation Rolls is as follows: Regimental number 2001 Religion Church of England Occupation Carter Address Zeehan, Tasmania Marital status Single Age at embarkation 21 Next of kin Father, Charles Brumby, Zeehan, Tasmania Enlistment date 24 Jun 1915 Rank on enlistment Private Unit name 26 Infantry Battalion - 3 Reinforcements Embarkation details Unit embarked from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia onboard the SS Makarini on 10 September 1915. Fate Killed in action. The 26th Battalion The 26th Battalion was raised at Enoggera, Queensland, in April 1915 from recruits enlisted in Queensland and Tasmania, and formed part of the 7th Brigade. It left Australia in July, and, after training in Egypt, landed at Gallipoli on 12 September. At Gallipoli, the 26th played a purely defensive role and at various times was responsible for the defence of Courtney's and Steele's Posts, and Russell's Top. It withdrew from the peninsula on 12 December. After another stint in Egypt, the 7th Brigade proceeded to France as part of the 2nd Australian Division in March 1916 In concert with the 28th Battalion, the 26th mounted the first trench raid undertaken by Australian troops on the Western Front on 6 June. The Battalion fought in its first major battle around Pozières between 28 July and 7 August. After a short spell in Belgium, the 2nd Division came south in October to attack again in the Somme Valley. The 26th Battalion took part in two attacks to the east of Flers, both of which floundered in mud and slush. In early 1917, the 26th Battalion joined the follow-up of the German withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line and attacked at Warlencourt (1-2 March) and Lagincourt (26 March). For his valorous actions at Lagincourt, Captain Percy Cherry was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross. On 3 May, the Battalion was also involved in the second attempt to breach the Hindenburg Line defences around Bullecourt. Later that year the focus of the AIF's operations switched to Belgium. There, the 26th battalion fought in the battle of Menin Road on 20 September, and participated in the capture of Broodseinde Ridge on 4 October. Like most AIF battalions, the 26th fought to turn back the German spring offensive in April 1918, and in the lull that followed mounted "peaceful penetration" operations to snatch portions of the German front line. In one such operation in Monument Wood on 14 July the 26th Battalion captured the first German tank to fall into Allied hands - No. 506 "Mephisto". In another, on 17 July, Lieutenant Albert Borrella was awarded the Victoria Cross. Later in the year the 26th participated in the great offensive that began on 8 August, its most notable engagement being an attack east of Mont St Quentin on 2 September. The Battalion's last action of the war was the capture of Lormisset, part of the operation to breach the Beaurevoir Line, on 3 October 1918. The 26th Battalion was disbanded in May 1919.

27	Charles Brumby enlisted in the 4th Light Horse Regiment, 4th Light Horse Brigade of the 1st Australian Imperial Force (AIF) on the 20th October 1914. He initally served as a Trooper in the 4th Light Horse Regiment before being transferred to the 2nd ANZAC Mounted Regiment on the 7th July 1916, seeing service in Gallipoli, and France. On the 8th of February 1918, Charles was selected to attend the Infantry Officer Cadet course and was Commisioned to 2nd Lieutenant on the 20th of August 1918 and posted to 8th Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 1st Australian Imperial Force. He was promoted to Lieutenant on the 6th of December 1918 and discharged on the 13th of July 1919. His entry in the Embarkation Rolls is as follows: Regimental number 707 Religion Church of England Occupation Farmer Address 2 Bailey Avenue, Malvern, Victoria Marital status Single Age at embarkation 19 Next of kin Father, Francis Brumby, 2 Bailey Avenue, Malvern, Victoria Enlistment date 20 Oct 1914 Rank on enlistment Trooper Unit name 4th Light Horse Regiment - 2nd Reinforcements Embarkation details Unit embarked from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia onboard HMAT Katuna on 3 February 1915. Fate Returned to Australia 14 May 1919. The 4th Light Horse Regiment The 4th Light Horse Regiment was formed as the divisional cavalry regiment for the 1st Australian Division on 11 August 1914. Belying traditional stereotypes, over 20 per cent of the original regiment were city dwellers from Melbourne. The regiment sailed from Melbourne on 19 October 1914 and disembarked in Egypt on 10 December. The light horse were considered unsuitable for the initial operations at Gallipoli, but were subsequently deployed without their horses to reinforce the infantry. The 4th Light Horse Regiment landed on 22 and 24 May and its squadrons were initially scattered to reinforce the infantry battalions already ashore. The regiment was not reunited until 11 June. Much of the regiment's time at Gallipoli was spent defending the precarious ANZAC position, most frequently around Ryrie's Post, but its squadrons were involved in several minor attacks. It left the peninsula on 11 December 1915. Returning to Egypt, a fourth squadron - "D Squadron" - was formed for the regiment and it was promptly detailed, along with B Squadron, for duty as divisional cavalry for the 1st and 3rd Australian Divisions on the Western Front. These two squadrons arrived in France in March and June 1916 and would eventually become part of the II ANZAC Mounted Regiment. A new B Squadron was formed for the 4th Light Horse in Egypt, and the regiment spent the remainder of 1916 engaged on rear area security tasks in the Suez Canal Zone. In April 1917 it moved up into the Sinai desert in the wake of the main British and dominion advance, but continued to undertake security duties. The regiment's first major battle would also become that which made it legendary. On 31 October 1917 an attack was launched to outflank the Turkish bastion of Gaza, against which two previous attacks had failed, by capturing another heavily defended town to the east - Beersheba. A deteriorating tactical situation late on the first day of the operation caused the 4th and its sister regiment, the 12th, to be unleashed on Beersheba at the gallop - an action which has gone down in history as the charge of Beersheba. After Gaza fell on 7 November 1917, Turkish resistance in southern Palestine collapsed. The 4th Light Horse participated in the pursuit that followed, and then spent the first months of 1918 resting and training. It moved into the Jordan Valley in time to participate in the Es Salt raid between 29 April and 4 May. In August, the regiment was issued with swords and trained in traditional cavalry tactics in preparation for the next offensive against the Turks. This was launched along the Palestine coast on 19 September 1918 - its objective, Damascus. The mounted forces penetrated deep into the Turkish rear areas severing roads, railways and communications links. On 1 October 1918, a patrol of the 4th Light Horse, commanded by Sergeant Frank Organ, were the first allied troops to enter Damascus. The regiment was soon involved in the next stage of the advance and was on its way to Homs when the Turks surrendered on 30 October. Some long-serving troopers began to embark for home soon after and while the rest awaited their turn, the 4th Light Horse were called back to operational duty to quell the Egyptian revolt that erupted in March 1919; order was restored in little over a month. The regiment sailed for home on 15 June 1919.	Charles BRUMBY

32	Eric Brumby enlisted in the 40th Battalion, 10th Brigade of the 1st Australian Imperial Force (AIF) on the 8 March 1918. He served as a Private and saw service in France and Flanders. His entry in the Embarkation Rolls is as follows: Regimental number 52389 Religion Methodist Occupation Farmer Address Cressy, Tasmania Marital status Single Age at embarkation 19 Next of kin Father, James Brumby, Cressy, Tasmania Enlistment date 8 March 1918 Rank on enlistment Private Unit name 40th Battalion Embarkation details Unit embarked from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia onboard A14 HMT Euripides on 1 May 1918. Fate Returned to Australia 1 August 1919. The 40th Battalion The 3rd Division was raised in Australia early in 1916. The 40th Battalion was Tasmania's contribution to the strength of the division and it joined the Victorian-raised 37th, 38th and 39th Battalions to form the 10th Brigade. The battalion embarked for the Western Front in July 1916 and by December was serving in the trenches in France. The 40th Battalion spent 1917 bogged in bloody trench warfare in Flanders. In June the battalion took part in the battle of Messines and in October the battle for Broodseinde Ridge. It was during this battle that Sergeant Lewis McGee of B Company performed the act of valour that earned him the Victoria Cross. McGee was killed in action eight days later, one of the 248 members of the battalion killed, wounded or gassed in the battle of Passchendaele. The battalion spent much of 1918 fighting in the Somme valley. In March they met the German Spring Offensive at Morlancourt. In August and September the battalion helped to drive the Germans back to the Hindenburg Line. It was near Proyart in August that Sergeant Percy Statton of the 40th earned his Victoria Cross. At 11 am on 11 November 1918 the guns fell silent on the Western Front. The November Armistice was followed by the Peace Treaty of Versailles signed on 28 June 1919. Between February and September 1919 the men of the 40th Battalion returned to Australia for demobilisation and discharge.	Eric James BRUMBY
33	Ernest Brumby enlisted in the 5th Battalion, 2nd Brigade of the 1st Australian Imperial Force (AIF) on the 8th of March 1916. He served as a Private where he saw service in France, on the Western Front. Ernest Brumby died during the battle of Pozières, on the 18th of August 1916. His body was never recovered. His entry in the Embarkation Rolls is as follows: Regimental number 5655 Religion Methodist Occupation Commercial Traveler Address 89 Spensley Street, Clifton Hill, Victoria Marital status Single Age at embarkation 25 Next of kin Father, Ernest Brumby, 288 Newcastle Street, Perth, Western Australia Enlistment date 4 March 1916 Rank on enlistment Private Unit name 5th Battalion - 17th Reinforcements Embarkation details Unit embarked from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia onboard A14 HMT Euripides on 4 April 1916. Fate Killed in action. The 5th Battalion The 5th Battalion was among the first infantry units raised for the AIF during the First World War. Like the 6th, 7th and 8th Battalions it was recruited from Victoria and, together with these battalions, formed the 2nd Brigade. The battalion was raised within a fortnight of the declaration of war in August 1914 and embarked just two months later. After a brief stop in Albany, Western Australia, the battalion proceeded to Egypt, arriving on 2 December. It later took part in the ANZAC landing on 25 April 1915, as part of the second wave. It was led by Lieutenant Colonel D. S. Wanliss, the officer who had raised the battalion. Ten days after the landing the 2nd Brigade was transferred from ANZAC to Cape Helles to help in the attack on the village of Krithia. The attack captured little ground but cost the brigade almost a third of its strength. The Victorian battalions forming the 2nd Brigade returned to ANZAC to help defend the beachhead, and in August the 2nd Brigade fought at the battle of Lone Pine. The battalion served at ANZAC until the evacuation in December. After the withdrawal from Gallipoli, the battalion returned to Egypt and, in March 1916, sailed for France and the Western Front. From then until 1918 the battalion was heavily involved in operations against the German Army. The battalion's first major action in France was at Pozières in the Somme valley in July 1916. After Pozières the battalion fought at Ypres in Flanders then returning to the Somme for winter. In 1917, the battalion participated in the operations that followed-up the German withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line, and then returned to Belgium to join the great offensive launched to the east of Ypres. In March and April 1918, the battalion helped to stop the German spring offensive. It subsequently participated in the great Allied offensive launched near Amiens on 8 August 1918. The advance by British and empire troops was the greatest success in a single day on the Western Front, one that German General Erich Ludendorff described as "the black day of the German Army in this war". The battalion continued operations until late September 1918. At 11 am on 11 November 1918, the guns fell silent. The November armistice was followed by the peace treaty of Versailles signed on 28 June 1919. In November 1918 members of the AIF began to return to Australia for demobilisation and discharge. In April, the battalion was so reduced that it and the 8th Battalion were amalgamated to form a composite battalion. In turn, this battalion was amalgamated with another, formed from the 6th and 7th Battalions, to form the 2nd Brigade Battalion.	Ernest Gladstone BRUMBY

37	Harold Brumby enlisted in the 8th Battalion, 2nd Brigade of the 1st Australian Imperial Force (AIF) on the 5th of January 1916. He served as a Private and saw service on the Western Front, France. His entry in the Embarkation Rolls is as follows: Regimental number 5658 Religion Presbyterian Occupation Labourer Address 89 Spensley Street, Clifton Hill, Victoria Marital status Single Age at embarkation 25 Next of kin Brother, Livingstone Brumby, Pearson Street, Bairnsdale, Victoria Enlistment date 5 January 1916 Rank on enlistment Private Unit name 8th Battalion - 18th Reinforcements Embarkation details Unit embarked from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia onboard A33 HMAT Ayrshire on 3 July 1916. Fate Returned to Australia 27 July 1919. The 8th Battalion The 8th Battalion was among the first infantry units raised for the AIF during the First World War. Like the 5th, 6th and 7th Battalions, it was recruited from Victoria and, together with these battalions, formed the 2nd Brigade. The battalion was raised from rural Victoria by Lieutenant Colonel William Bolton within a fortnight of the declaration of war in August 1914 and embarked just two months later. After a brief stop in Albany, Western Australia, the battalion proceeded to Egypt, arriving on 2 December. It later took part in the ANZAC landing on 25 April 1915, as part of the second wave. Ten days after the landing, the 2nd Brigade was transferred from ANZAC to Cape Helles to help in the attack on the village of Krithia. The attack captured little ground but cost the brigade almost a third of its strength. The Victorian battalions returned to ANZAC to help defend the beachhead, and in August the 2nd Brigade fought at the battle of Lone Pine. The battalion served at ANZAC until the evacuation in December. After the withdrawal from Gallipoli, the battalion returned to Egypt. In March 1916, it sailed for France and the Western Front. From then until 1918 the battalion was heavily involved in operations against the German Army. The battalion's first major action in France was at Pozières in the Somme valley in July 1916. Private Thomas Cooke, one of 81 members of the battalion killed at Pozières, earned a posthumous Victoria Cross during the action. After Pozières, the battalion fought at Ypres, in Flanders, returning to the Somme for winter. In 1917, the battalion participated in the operations that followed-up the German withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line, and then returned to Belgium to join the great offensive launched to the east of Ypres. In March and April 1918 helped to stop the German spring offensive. The battalion subsequently participated in the allies' own offensive, launched near Amiens on 8 August 1918. The advance by British and empire troops was the greatest success in a single day on the Western Front, one that German General Erich Ludendorff described as, "the black day of the German Army in this war". For his actions on this day, Lieutenant William Joynt was awarded a Victoria Cross. The next day, Private Robert Beatham also earned a Victoria Cross by rushing four separate machine guns. He was killed in action two days later. The battalion continued operations to late September 1918. At 11 am on 11 November 1918, the guns fell silent. The November armistice was followed by the peace treaty of Versailles signed on 28 June 1919. In November 1918 members of the AIF began to return to Australia for demobilisation and discharge. In April, the battalion was so reduced that it and the 5th Battalion were amalgamated to form a composite battalion. In turn, this battalion was amalgamated with another, formed from the 6th and 7th Battalions, to form the 2nd Brigade Battalion.	Harold BRUMBY

39	Herbert Brumby enlisted in the 32nd Battalion, 8 Brigade of the 1st Australian Imperial Force (AIF) on the 2nd of Sep 1915. He served as a Driver in the Battalion's Transport Section and saw service in Egypt and France. His entry in the Embarkation Rolls is as follows: Regimental number 315 Religion Methodist Occupation Labourer Address Kingston, South East, South Australia Marital status Married Age at embarkation 43 Next of kin Wife, Mrs Georgina Brumby, Kingston, South East, South Australia Enlistment date 2 September 1915 Rank on enlistment Driver Unit name 32nd Battalion, Transport Section Embarkation details Unit embarked from Adelaide, South Australia, on board HMAT A13 Katuna on 11 November 1915 Fate Returned to Australia 21 May 1916 The 32nd Battalion The 32nd Battalion was raised as part of the 8th Brigade at Mitcham, on the outskirts of Adelaide, on 9 August 1915. Only two companies were raised from South Australian enlistees - another two were formed in Western Australia and joined the battalion at the end of September. The battalion sailed from Adelaide on 18 November 1915. The 8th Brigade joined the newly raised 5th Australian Division in Egypt, and proceeded to France, destined for the Western Front, in June 1916. The 32nd Battalion fought its first major battle at Fromelles on 19 July 1916, having only entered the front-line trenches 3 days previously. The attack was a disastrous introduction to battle for the 32nd - it suffered 718 casualties, almost 75 per cent of the battalion's total strength, but closer to 90 per cent of its actual fighting strength. Although it still spent periods in the front line, the 32nd played no major offensive role for the rest of the year. In early 1917, the German Army withdrew to the Hindenburg Line allowing the British front to be advanced and the 32nd Battalion participated in the follow-up operations. The battalion subsequently missed the heavy fighting to breach the Hindenburg Line during the second battle of Bullecourt as the 8th Brigade was deployed to protect the division's flank. The only large battle in 1917 in which the 32nd Battalion played a major role was Polygon Wood, fought in the Ypres sector in Belgium on 26 September. Unlike some AIF battalions, the 32nd had a relatively quiet time during the German Spring Offensive of 1918 as the 5th Division was largely kept in reserve. The Allies launched their own offensive with the battle of Amiens on 8 August, in which the 32nd Battalion participated. It was subsequently involved in the operations that continued to press the retreating Germans through August and into September. The 32nd fought its last major action of the war between 29 September and 1 October when the 5th and 3rd Australian Divisions and two American divisions attacked the Hindenburg Line across the top of the 6-kilometre-long St Quentin Canal tunnel; the canal was a major obstacle in the German defensive scheme. The 32nd was resting and retraining out of the line when the war ended on 11 November 1918. On 8 March 1919, after the gradual repatriation of men to Australia, the remnants of the 32nd Battalion were merged with the 30th Battalion.	Herbert Stewart BRUMBY
40	Hurtle Brumby enlisted in the 3rd Light Horse Regiment, 1st Light Horse Brigade of the 1st Australian Imperial Force on the 3rd of December 1914. He served as a Trooper but due to being found to be medically unfit was discharged on the 5th of May 1915. His entry in the Nominal Rolls is as follows: Regimental number 858 Religion Methodist Occupation Blacksmith Address Gawler South, South Australia Marital status Married Age at embarkation 30 Next of kin Wife, Evelyn Agnes Brumby, Gawler South, South Australia Enlistment date 3 December 1914 Rank on enlistment Trooper Unit name 3rd Light Horse Regiment - 4th Reinforcements Embarkation details Did not embark. Fate Medically discharged 15 May 1915. The 3rd Light Horse Regiment The 3rd Light Horse Regiment was raised in Adelaide on 17 August 1914. Although most of its recruits were enlisted in South Australia, one of the regiment's three squadrons was composed of Tasmanians and was raised and trained in Hobart. The two components sailed from their home ports in late October 1914 and arrived in Egypt in the second week of December. Here, they joined the 1st and 2nd Regiments to form the 1st Light Horse Brigade. The 1st Light Horse Brigade deployed to Gallipoli without its horses and landed there on 12 May 1915, joining the New Zealand and Australian Division. The 3rd Light Horse played a defensive role throughout the campaign and was in reserve when its sister regiments attacked as part of the August offensive. It left Gallipoli on 14 December 1915. Back in Egypt, the 3rd Light Horse joined the ANZAC Mounted Division. Between January and May 1916, the regiment was deployed to protect the Nile valley from bands of pro-Turkish Senussi Arabs. On 18 May, as part of its parent brigade, it joined the forces defending the Suez Canal. The 1st Light Horse Brigade played a significant role in turning back the Turkish advance on the canal at the battle of Romani on 4 August. In ensuing days the regiments of the brigade participated in the immediate follow-up of the defeated Turks, but were soon withdrawn to rest. The 3rd Light Horse rejoined the Allied advance across the Sinai in November and was subsequently involved in the fighting to secure the Turkish outposts on the Palestine frontier - Maghdaba on 23 December 1916 and Rafa on 9 January 1917. A stint of protective duty along the line of communications through the Sinai followed. The 3rd's next major engagement was the abortive second battle of Gaza on 19 April. Gaza finally fell on 7 November, after a wide outflanking move via Beersheba, in which the 1st Light Horse Brigade played a part. With the capture of Gaza, the Turkish position in southern Palestine collapsed. The 3rd Light Horse Regiment participated in the advance to Jaffa that followed, and was then committed to operations to clear and occupy the west bank of the Jordan River. It was involved in the Amman (24-27 February) and Es Salt (30 April-4 May) raids and the repulse of a major German and Turkish attack on 14 July 1918. The final British offensive of the campaign was launched along the Mediterranean coast on 19 September 1918, with the ANZAC Mounted Division taking part in a subsidiary effort east of the Jordan aimed at Amman. Turkey surrendered on 30 October 1918. The 3rd Light Horse Regiment sailed for Australia on 16 March 1919 without their horses, which were either shot or transferred to Indian cavalry units.

43	James Brumby was born in the parish of Scotton, Lincolnshire at 7 o'clock in the evening of Thursday the 18th of July 1771 to parents William and Margaret (nee Popple). He was the second youngest of seven children. It was first thought, and Scotton parish records indicate, that he was born to a William and Rebecca Brumby; however, this has been shown by further research to be incorrect. A Book of Common Prayer originally belonging to William Brumby, his father, and now in the possession of one of the descendants of Charles Brumby, his grandson, is inscribed at the front of the book as such; "William Brumby his Book Brought att Gainsborough february the tenth day 1756 William Brumby Book 1872 Scotton Lincolnshire Wm Brumby Scotton Lincolnshire" The following entry is made on the next page; "Elizabeth the Daughter of William and Margaret Brumby was Born the 28th of February 1762 Isabell Brumby was Born January the 21st 1764 ten at Night Saturday W Brumby was born November ye 6th 1766 Allmost Eleven O'clock Thersday night John Brumby was Born may ye 30th 1769 Almost four Oclock in the morning Tuesday James Brumby was Born on the 18th of July 1771 Seven Oclock Thursday Night Mary Brumby was Born Decem' ye 20th year of our Lord 1773 Monday Morning 5 a clock.

There he enlisted in the New South Wales Corp of the British Army, later to become the 102nd Regiment of Foot, on the 14th of January 1790. James is also included in a list of those who "enlisted or joined from other regiments" and his previous regiment is listed as "1st Royl Gar Batt", this is now thought to be the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards previously known as the Royal Regiment of Guards, however it is not certain if he actually served with this regiment. James is described in the military records as being 6 foot tall and having brown hair, grey eyes, sallow complexion and being of a round visage (face). James set sail for Australia with the Third Fleet, from Portsmouth Harbour on the 27th of March 1791. On the 14th of September 1791 James arrived in Port Jackson, New South Wales aboard the 'Britannia' with the New South Wales Corp. His name appears in the Monthly Pay Lists and Muster Roll of the New South Wales Corps of Foot for June 1798 where he is listed as Private James Brumby of Colonel Francis Grose's Company, where he was earning the princely sum of £1-1s-0d (or 21s) a month. In the early years of James' military service, his name is written as Brumby, Brombey and Bromley. Following the departure of Governor King from New South Wales in 1792, James was the recipient of a 25 acre grant, one of a number made to men of the Regiment by then Lieutenant Governor Francis Grose. James received his first grant on the 3rd of December 1794 "laying and situate in Lane Cove in the district of Hunter's Hill." Lieutenant Governor Grose, however, did not have the authority to give land grants and it was cancelled following the arrival of Governor John Hunter. On the 1st of May 1797 James, William Smith, Thomas Bruin and Francis Wilkinson, all Privates in the NSW Corps, were granted 100 acres in the District of Mulgrave Place, "lying and situate on the banks of the river Hawkesbury and bounded on the S. by Bradley farm and N. by Singleton farm."

44	On the 19th of April 1809, James was granted 100 acres on the North Esk this was followed by a further 150 acres in 1813. This area was known as Brumby's Plains but was later renamed Breadalbane by Governor Macquarie in December 1811. Governor Macquarie described the plains "as a fine tract of land, by far the richest soil and best pasturage we saw in this days' ride; they are well watered by a succession of fine copious springs, containing many thousands of acres of most excellent land, the most beautiful situation being a succession of plains, valley and gentle eminences only about 2 miles from the North Esk and about 5 miles from Launceston." 1809 also saw James granted with another 100 acres on the Lake River. This was to become James's first permanent home in Van Dieman's Land and the property was named 'Richmond Hill'. It was to establish the Brumby's as one of the leading pastoral families in the Longford/Cressy area, then known as Norfolk Plains in the county of Westmoreland. James built a small cottage on the property and it was later conveyed to his eldest son William who had obtained a grant of 100 acres at the rear of the property. At around 1815 James Brumby purchased a land grant of 100 acres from John Dell situated on the banks of the Lake River, and it was here that he built the second famous Brumby property, 'Harwick Hill', named after an ancient Roman smelter on the Scotton Common just west of his birthplace. Around 1825, James purchased 206 acres on Brumby's Creek from Nathanial Hammant, which he conveyed to his youngest son, James, this was to become McRaes Hill. James also brought 43 acres from Samuel Day in Longford, which he again conveyed to his son, James. By October 1819, according to the General Musters of Proprietors of land and stock at Port Dalrymple, James owned 620 acres, 50 acres sown with wheat and 570 acres of pasture. His stock consisted of 5 horses, 341 cattle, 1300 sheep and 13 swine. He also had the service of 3 Crown Servants (i.e. convicts). The 1820 Muster showed that James now had 386 cattle, 1853 sheep, 6 Crown Servants and 3 freeman labourers on 660 acres, 300 of which he had received in grants and the remaining 360 acres he had purchased. By 1820 James owned most of the land between Richmond Hill and Brumby Creek. For the price of 36 pounds and 15 shillings, James purchased five of the Merino rams which Lieutenant - Governor Sorell had brought from New South Wales to strengthen his herd. He had indeed become a gentleman farmer. In 1811 Lieutenant - Governor Sorell recommended James, who was then living at Richmond Hill, to be made a Special Constable in charge of the fords over the Lake River. In 1813 he successfully prosecuted a man for cruelty to cattle. James also took an active part in local affairs and helped in the struggle against bushrangers. When James became a Special Constable of the Fords he built cells, dog kennels and a guardhouse in addition to the small cottage that was the original homestead of Richmond Hill. The sandstone that was used in the building of the unusual crescent shaped cells and other buildings was brought from another of James' properties, 'McRae's Hills' in bullock wagons. Across the front of the half circle of these buildings a thick hedge was planted and behind the cells at the bottom of the orchard the guard house was built. The barracks were large enough to house 30 or 40 men and were used as the district Constable's headquarters and afterwards as accommodation for the free men who came from England with the Cressy Company. In October 1818 Lieutenant - Governor Sorell sent a dispatch from Hobart Town to Major Cimitiere, the Commandant of Port Dalrymple: "It is my intention to publish an order regulating anew the progress of Carts from here to Port Dalrymple, and limiting them strictly to passing into the Settlement by Gibson's Ford, which can be no inconvenience to any. It will be necessary therefore to give instructions to the Constables near the fords of Mr Archer's to arrest all Carts coming from this side by that road, to carry the Carts in safe and deliver them to you, and beg you will have any Carts so stopped sent back without being ordered to unload, under charge of a responsible person, and a proper Escort to this place. I would recommend Mr. Brumby, who lives near these fords at Norfolk Plains, being made a Constable to attend to this duty." In 1819 James signed a petition to urge for a yearly circuit of the Lieutenant - Governor's Court to be held in Launceston. In on the 17th of April 1820 he was a signatory with Dr Jacob Mountgarrett, James Cox of 'Clarendon', and Thomas Fletcher to an address of appreciation to Major Cimitiere when he was raised to the rank of Lieutenant - Colonel, whose impartial and upright conduct had impressed them.

45	On the 1st January 1801, James was promoted to Corporal. 5 months later, on the 4th May 1801 he was promoted to Sergeant and transferred to Captain Townsend's Company. On the 1st August 1801 James was again transferred, this time to Lieutenant - Colonel William Paterson's Company, from where he was to be one of sixty-four soldiers to be sent to Van Diemen's Land as an expeditionary party, leaving Sydney Town on the 3rd of October 1804. Sergeant James Brumby arrived in Van Dieman's Land as part of Lieutenant - Colonel Paterson's Detachment to Port Dalrymple on the River Tamar. The New South Wales Corps arrived aboard the H.M.S. Buffalo on the 4th of November 1804. Whilst stationed in New South Wales, James had put his Lincolnshire horse skills to good use and used the land he was granted to breed and raise horses. On his departure to Van Dieman's Land he was unable to take the horses with him and he released many of them into the surrounding bush of the small colony. These horses were seen on occasion by other settlers and became known as 'Brumby's horses' later to become 'Brumbies' and thus, an Australian icon was born. In 1806 Colonel Paterson reported to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Lord Castlereagh, that only three settlers had established themselves with any success in Van Dieman's Land, one of these was Sergeant James Brumby. The following year, in 1807, there is reference to a bill being drawn for 92 pounds, 15 pence in favour of Mr. James Brumby "being payment for Kangaroo flesh, Swine's flesh and potatoes, issued in lieu of usual rations to the 30th June, 1807" The role James played, as a soldier in Van Dieman's Land was, not surprisingly, dangerous. Remembering that at the time Van Dieman's Land was primarily a penal colony and convicts vastly out numbered the settlers. Occasionally convicts escaped into the rugged bush and attacked settlers on their farms. In late January 1808, two convicts, John Brown and Richard Lemon escaped from farms on which they were working in Port Dalrymple. They murdered three soldiers from the Corps and another prisoner in their escape and headed south towards the Derwent River. On the 7th of February 1808, the Reverend Robert Knopwood who was the Chaplain at Hobart Town wrote in his diary, "Serjt Brumley and seven men arrived here from Port Dalrymple. They came after some men that had absconded from the settlement." The following day he added that, "a party of men was sent off after the Port Dalrymple bushrangers." On the 16th of February Reverend Knopwood wrote, "At 8 Sarjt Broomley and the party that went out after Lemon and Brown returned without them." (The Diary of Reverend Robert Knopwood, 1803 - 1838.) James returned to Port Dalrymple but had only just arrived when he was sent back to Hobart Town. The Reverend Knopwood noted the occasion on the 1st of March 1808, " Sargt. Brumley and two Privates arrived from Pt. Dalrymple with dispatches for Govnr. Paterson." The dispatches were to inform the settlers in the County of Buckinghamshire that Major George Johnston of the New South Wales Corps had overthrown Governor Bligh. Due to the rebellion by the New South Wales Corps, Lord Castlereagh, Secretary of State for the Colonies, decided to recall the Corps back to England and replace them with the 73rd Regiment of Foot, then stationed in India. James however, saw his life now in Van Dieman's Land. He was discharged from the British Army on 25th December 1808 though he was still referred to as Sergeant Brumby in April 1809 when he was issued with a steer and four ewes from the Government store. Thomas Archer, in signing a memorial of James Brumby, said that, "James remained as a settler in the colony on the 102nd Reg. proceeding to England." (i.e. 1810).	James BRUMBY
46	On the 26th of August 1822, the Hobart Town Gazette reported: "At Port Dalrymple, where the inhabitants had so long been compelled to grind their own corn with handstones and steel mills, there are now two mill erected, one a windmill erected by J.Smith, another a watermill belonging to J.Brumby." However, correspondence from James indicates that there was a dispute over the ownership of the mill, which had been built by a miller named Edward Yates. James stated in a letter to the Lieutenant Governor that he had paid Edward Yates to erect the mill on land that James had purchased from Yates (now St Leonards), that he had supplied Yates and his family with provisions throughout the construction of the mill and that he had directly incurred the cost of the two bridges across the North Esk. According to James, the agreement was that Yates would work the mill and in return receive a half of the profits and that a one half share in the mill would be made over to Yates, once he had paid half the building expenses. The records of these transactions were left with William Field in Launceston. Yates and Field, both ex-convicts, were in league and destroyed the transfer deeds. The Lands Commissioner described William Field at the time, as a "notorious rogue". James also wrote that the expenses that he had incurred in erecting the mill were upwards of £2000, a massive amount of money in those days. James further claimed that he had been forced sell 1200 acres of land and much of his stock to meet his debts. A reference in the Land Commissioners Journal shows James sold 1200 acres to Thomas Archer of "Woolmers" and the 1822 Stock Muster shows the amount of stock owned by James had decreased. Ultimately it appears that James was not able to prove his case and the mill remained in the possession of the Yates family until the 1840's. In a petition to Lieutenant - Governor Sorell on 14 December 1824, James stated that he had, at the request of various settlers, established a punt at the junction of the South Esk and Lake Rivers, where present day Longford stands. Sorell approved the idea and promised James the unallocated land on the opposite side fulfilled, and Governor Arthur agreed that it should. Thomas Archer endorsed the petition and wrote: "He came free to the country, was a Sergeant in the New South Wales Corps and remained as a settler in this Colony on the 102nd Reg. proceeding to England - I believe him to be an honest and industrious ( altho' of late not a very sober ) man." James sold the punt to his nephew John Brumby in 1826.	James BRUMBY
47	Richmond Hill was sold to the Cressy Company in 1826. James owned other properties as well, among them, 'Cornrigg' not far from Cressy which James conveyed to his eldest son William. In August 1835, James brought a famous thoroughbred chestnut stallion called 'Buffalo' from the Cressy Company for a price of 75 guineas. Buffalo was bred in England by Flydener from Roxana by Alexander from Princess by Eclipse and was imported to Van Dieman's Land by the Cressy Company in 1826. In October 1826, James sold 'Harwick Hill' to his nephew, Robert Brumby, who had arrived in the Colony the year before with his brother John. After the sale of 'Richmond Hill' and 'Harwick Hill', James moved with his wife Elizabeth to 'McRae's Hills' to live with their youngest son James. The Brumby family were also known for their horsemanship and it was said, the wilder the better. James died on the 14th of September 1838 at 'McRae's Hills' and is buried in the Brumby family tomb in the grounds of Longford's Christ Church along with his wife Elizabeth who died on the 12th of March 1846, their son John who died on the 10th of August 1825 after being thrown from his horse, and grandsons William and James.

50	At the death of his father in 1693, John was to live with his mother during her widowhood and to be looked after by his uncle, Thomas Brumby and Robert Cooper. Emmette subsequently died in 1694 and as John was 12 years of age he became a ward of his uncle Thomas Brumby.	John BRUMBY
