History
& Achievements :
Ambrose Burnside was with the 73rd Regiment arriving on the
"anne" 27th feb 1810.Ambrose is listed as being paid from Police Funds for
fencing the Government Domain at Parramatta 28/1/1815. He was granted 100
acres of land "anywhere in the colony" 28/10/1823. Ambrose was appointed a
constable at Windsor 9/2/1825,but resigned 16/4/1825. He died in1827 aged
66. His wife Sarah applied to put their youngest child Anne in the orphans
school soon after his death. Anne committed "highway robbery' in 1834 at
the age of 15, was convicted and sent to Tasmania. I am descended from
Anne. ROBINSON (
Robertson )Charles was with the NSW Corps arriving on
the "Active" 26/9/1791. Charles married Elizabeth Harris , a convict,
in1794. On 19/11/1794 he is granted a town allotment. Charles and
Elizabeth had a son John and a daughter Mary and at least one other girl (
still researching). Mary married John Waite , a convict who arrived in
1804. He was assigned to Charles Throsby, listed as his servant, and
accompanied Throsby on his exploration of the Southern Highlands and what
is now Canberra. As a
reward John Waite was awarded land in the new territory of Argyle and
he and Mary moved there in the 1820's The town of Moss vale is built on
their land. Michael Scully was with the 48th regiment. I have little
information on him other than he did stay .He and his wife Margaret both
died in 1822 and their daughter Jane was placed in the Orphans School. I
believe they had another daughter Margaret from whom I am descended. My
problem soldier is Dennis Neehan or Neenan. Dennis is listed on his
daughters marriage certificate as being a soldier of the 57th but I can
find no information
about him.
