Notes |
- Wilfred Burgess related the story about his father David when he got word on his first farm that the local bailiff was on his way to evict him and impound his possessions for non-payment of rent. So he borrowed a bullock and cart from Tom Crawford, loaded his family and possessions, and moved further up the valley and settled on the Eglinton Estate belonging to Tom Crawford., who was known to be a more sympathetic and kindly man than his brother Robert, who owned the Ellalong Estate and lived in Sydney. (This story provided by Donald Burgess) Their children, Laura, Reuben, Isabella, Wilfred, Albert, Basil, Elsie, Stanley and Gladys were all born and reared in Congewai. He had a small but productive farm which he inherherited from his father James. David Burgess, George Crossley, Dick O'Hearn, Augustus Chick, Walter Jones, Nipper Bridge and Fred McDonald were some of the men who worked on the Whyalla Road, now known as Main Road, Paxton, or the Middle Road. Doris Smith reported that her grandfather "liked his privacy". She never knew him without a white beard. He had black hair and very deep blue eyes. In spite of no schooling he taught himself to read and write. He loved to read. He was an exexcellent whip maker, and tanned the hides himself. Quite a few of the Bullock teamsters used his product. He also produced high quality sulky whips. David used a bullock dray to travel to Maitland for food supplies. The trip took a full week, and he made stops at Cessnock, Majors Lane, Bishop's Bridge and Telarah. [1]
