Land grants went to John Wood who was a free settler who arrived in 1818. There was large tracts of land in the Mulgoa area at Bingelly, 1650 acres in two parcels, the largest named Chipping . The Mulgoa area was taken up as grants from 1810. Early grants in the area also included those to Gregory Blaxland, John Piper, William Cox, Thomas Jamison, George Panton, John Smith, and Simeon Lord.
John Wood developed a large pastoral empire west of the Blue Mountains and by 1828 had 4,840 acres in the colony running large stocks of cattle and sheep.
The first land granted in Hartley under Gov Brisbanes order’s were issued in 1823 was to J Birt and R Fellows each receiving 100 acres at Blaxlands Swamp.

You Cannot Always Believe What You Read in the Papers OR
The Very Misleading Golden Wedding Announcements
By Stan Fitzpatrick
1. There seems to be no record, on the Isle of Man or elsewhere, of any Mylecharane being a 'rector of Ballaugh' at any time.
2. 'Our' Philip was not the third son of Thomas Mylecharane. He was the second son of a Philip Mylecharane and Ann Quayle. Furthermore, his grandfather was also a Philip Mylecharane, the husband of Jane Cain.
3. Esther Mylecharane was a daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth Cowell (nee Kelley), but she was not the youngest, her sister Mary was.
4. The records of the House of Keys (the Manx parliament) show no Daniel Cowell as having ever been a member. It seems highly unlikely. Esther was illiterate and, as you will in another story, two of her sisters were transported to NSW as convicts.........
6. Mary Jane Wood was not the 'only' daughter of George Bolton....
7. ...he [George] was never a Colonel.....
8. Mary Jane Wood's mother was not the 'Hon. Mary Butler-Bolton etc.' Mary''s mother was Alice Leek, who was the daughter of William Leek and Agnes Butler, who had nothing to do with the Ormond Butlers!
