Mary Jane Cain formerly Griffin Born
Toorawandi Feb 26th.1844. _ _ _
After living with my parents at places as
mentioned were they have resided I went to
work for different people who's names are
given here under. I worked for a Mr Gordon
Miller at Kianbri then for a Kennedy
Brothers who owned a place called Mount
Tennandra. After being there some years I went
to Wetalabah to people who lived near Mc Masters
by the name of McGregor who was also a
cousin to the McMasters. I lived with those
people until I married. It was Duncan
McMasters Stockman George Cain (known as
yellow George at that time. I was married in Mr
McGregors best parlor. The Mc Gregors moved
then quite close to CBran on a selection they
called Hawthorn Hill they lived there a great
many years and had a large family I quite
remember when their dear daughter Mary Ann
Mc Gregor was brutily murdered (There), one of the
sons Mr Duncan Mc Gregor as lived they ever since his
parents death. All other members of the
family are in different localitys at present.
I should have said I was married by the
Rev. Alexander Mc Ewen.
(to G.W. Cain)
PS. in speaking of murders I quite forgot to
mention in Orrs time on Garrawilla there was
also a brutal murder committed but he payed
the penalty well in both cases they did
both murderers were hung in Bathurst
Meagher was hung for the Garrawilla murders
& (Newman) for the murder of Miss Mc Gregor.
