Note*John Thomas

Married Jane
Carpenter and joiner who was born in Carmarthaenshire, Wales. They had Five children - John, James, William, Jane and Clarence, who was born in the colony. The family arrived on the "Gilmore" on the 15-12-1829 as indentured servants to Thomas Peel and his co-partner Solomon Levey, who formed a scheme for settlement on the Swan River. however, Peel failed, through no fault of his own, to arrive in the stipulated time and had to take poor, useless land between Cockburn Sound and Murray River. Inevitably, the entire venture failed. He was still living at Clarence in May 1831 when he protested about Thomas Peel. In 1830 John applied for a publicans licence for a public house at Clarence. Jenniphur died soon after giving birth in their hut on the beach. John, the eldest child took over the care of the infant and kept him alive for some time with sugar dummies until he succumbed to heat exhaustion and starvation, John Thomas Snr. remarried in 1833 to M.Hokin and one son was born, but died in 1845 of dysentery.


The above was taken from LONELY GRAVES OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA & BURIALS
AT SEA BY YVONNE & KEVIN COATE

John was baptised as a FOXON. John, Jenefer and family came to the Swan River Colony under the ill-fated scheme aboard the Gilmore, arriving on 15 December 1829. Like many other pioneer families they encountered terrible hardship and tragedy, but endured. On 16 February 1830 Jenefer (Jane) died 13 April 1830 at Clarence as a result of childbirth with their fifth child. In vain the family endeavoured to keep the child alive but he succumbed to dysentery at the age of three months and was also buried at Clarence. John remarried Mary Ann Hokin 22 May 1833, a widow whose husband had been drowned eighteen months earlier in a boating accident on the Swan River. This union was of very short duration as John was convicted with several others of having plundered the wreck Cumberland and was transported to Van Diemens Land per the government schooner 'Ellen' on 25 March 1835. He died in the Launceston hospital and was buried on 28 October 1839 having served four and a half years of his seven year sentence. In spite of these tragic events the rest of the family ultimately prospered. The brothers became ship-owners, trading round the coast also to Singapore and Mauritius and also acquired numerous properties in and around Fremantle. Another blow was dealt when James was drowned in a shipwreck just off the port in 1848. John (Jnr) and his wife, Elizabeth (nee Cooper) at one time owned 4,000 acres and the homestead known as Ravenswood Hall on the Murray River between Mandurah and Pinjarra. They also owned the Albert Hotel (latterly known as the Southern Cross & Commercial) in Fremantle. It was here on 10 March 1871 that the first Council meeting was held. John was a member of the earlier Town Trust and had served five terms as Chairman. Jane married Henry Gray a merchant of Greenough and Geraldton in Perth on 22 August 1843.1
