Solomon Wiseman died on 28th November 1838 aged61 and was buried beside his first wife (nee of Jane Middleton) in his own grounds adjoining his residence on the southern side; but after the erection of the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in 1841 the bodies were disinterred and reburied in a vault under the floor of that church where they rested for many years. The church at last fell into decay however so for many years the coffins like the church were subjected to sacriligious vandalism. When the cemetery 2 miles down the river was made, Solomon Wiseman's bachelor grandson John Wiseman of Granbalang near Singleton removed the remains to the new cemetery and a marble headstone records the dates of their deaths. Mrs. Jane Wiseman nee Middleton died at the early age of 45 years on 20th July 1821.
