Notes |
- One of THE challenges in researching Friedrich/Frederick Christian Luthers is that there were at least five generations with the same name.
• From Leanne Cunningham: "I have been picking my Father's memory for all of the nicknames, jobs, and quirks of the Luther clan. Some are very interesting to say the least. Apparently, the first Frederick Christian Luther in Australia came here as he was involved in a duel which resulted in the death of the other participant. As this was highly illegal, he had the choice of going to jail or leaving the country. Being the gentleman he was, jail was not an option, so Australia he came to. Fritz was a wine maker, first working at Regentville on the Nepean River and then at The Hermitage at The Oaks [south west of Sydney]. He prodroduced some prize winning varieties and even gave the future father of federation (Sir Henry Parkes) his first job in Australia. He was also very good friends with Ludwig Leichardt and the family used to have the correspondence between them, but I believe this has since been donated to the Mitchell Library in Sydney."
• Insolvency Index lists a Frederick Christian Luther of "Hermitage, Oaks", "NSW settler", sequestered 27 Feb 1849 (File # 1879) Edward Hougham Royes, whose sister married a Frederick Christian Luther, had been declared bankrupt eight months earlier. Times were tough?
• In the 1850's a Frederick Christian Luther, who had previously worked at 'Regentville', establishes his own vineyard at 'The Hermitage' in Camden [http://www.hawkesbury.net.au/nhwgg/overview/history.html ]
• Christian Luther, farmer, Hermitage, Oaks is listed in Grevilles 1872 Post Office Directory. [3, 6]
