Details: 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.

Details: Extract from 'The First Fleet Marines' by John Moore.....The most common offence amongst marines was stealing, though the first instance recorded did not occur till 2 March 1789 when Corp. James Plowman was charged with stealing a short from Private Edward Odgers. Convicts Amelia Levy and Elizabeth Fowles gave evidence that they had been offered a shirt to spend the night with Plowman and Corporal John Wixstead. Wixstead rejected the accusation, but even so was reduced in rank and Private William Goodall was promoted corporal in his stead.
