James Davenport Walker

James Devenport Walker, his wife and family arrived in Port Jackson on the ship "Palembam" on 31 July 1831. Mrs Mary Lyndsey Walker, nee Larrymore, was one of two Matrons appointed to supervise a group of fifty orphan girls from the Foundling Hospital of County Cork, Ireland, who were included in the passenger list of this vessel. The list also included 114 convict women from County Cork.

At the time of their arrival, the children of James D. and Mary Walker were John George, born 24 June 1819; James Devenport, born 1822; Ann born about 1825; and Henry born 1829. After their arrival, Mary Jane was born in Sydney on 24 September 1832, and William Henry was born 3rd November 1833, but died a few days later on the 22nd and buried at Camperdown. Another son, Joseph George was born 12th June 1836 at 'Brookfield', a farm between Clarence and Dungog. James Devenport Walker was recorded as the proprietor of 'Brookfield' for the NSW census of 1840.

As early as 1840 James Devenport Walker was the proprietor of 'Brookfield' and leased 2177 acres.
From the Dungog Chronicle, Friday 29 September 1905 in an article on bushranger problems in the Dungog area in 1840:
Dungog, 14th Dec., 1840.
On Monday, 30th ultimo, at 8 o'clock in the morning, my house, situated 7 miles distant from Dungog, was suddenly taken possession of by four armed bushrangers, confining my family into one room, while they compelled me to give up my keys, and possessed themselves of £37 in cash and property to the amount of £4. The state of alarm and excitement caused by these outlaws has put me to further expense and inconvenience.
(signed) J. D. Walker, Brookfield.

James Davenport Walker held the publican's license for the Union Inn at Dungog in 1841.
This Inn was situated on Half Moon Flat on part of the estate of Brookfield and was held up by bushrangers known as the Jewboy gang in 1840.

James was living in Maryborough (Qld) township in 1848. He was a Master Cooper, a Proprietor of Boiling Down Works and a Grazier.
James' father (John) migrated to Ireland from Somerset/Wiltshire district of England.

!It is apparent that Andreas put his age down when he emigrated to Queensland on board the Herschel, arriving in Brisbane on 16 July 1874, because all immigration records have his age as 45, but according to his death details he would have been 51 years of age. This was not uncommon, as people were then eligible for 'assisted passages' which frequently applied to only a certain age group.

When the Herschel arrived in Brisbane on 16th July 1874, on board were Andreas, age 45; his wife Caroline aged 32, and sons Peter aged 9 and Sophus aged 8. They made their way to the Maryborough district, where his children (from a previous marriage), Andreas, Bothilde and Christine had settled, having arrived on board the Herschell in March 1872.
