Note	Conflicting family stories have him dying at Emu Plains (which would have been 1840-49) and at Swan Hill (abt 1857). As sole surviving parent of three children, what were his thoughts as he landed in Sydney? Thankfully, he had a job to go to, at Regentville, and the support of his brother and sister-in-law with his remaining 3 children.
