Dear Eliza Jan,
I have just come across a web site of yours which mentions Richard Stevens who was an ancestor of mine. Your information does not include the eldest son William George, from whom I am descended.
Richard Stevens went to Tasmania about 1833, came to Melbourne about 1839. He could be the R Stevens listed at Portland in 1839, came on the 'Sally Ann' with the Hentys. He married Elizabeth Hill at St James in Melbourne - she came here on the "Argyle". He worked as a waterman with the Customs in Williamstown and later acquired land at Beaufort.
I have little information about Richard's early days here, lots about his family in England - their history crossed paths with Wordsworth who helped them when the children were orphaned, and many other contacts. Their uncle married a cousin of Nelson. I have almost no information about Richard from the time he was orphaned in 1819 and his arrival in Australia. I also have very little about his life in Williamstown except for a list of children.
Would be glad to hear from you, Trish Steward
