Place: Singleton

Details: Poor old King Cockey, the last of this districts aborigines has gone to the happy hunting grounds. He was about town only a couple of days before his death. He was then complaining of being bad but no one thought that King Cockey was out for the last time. His death was from natural decay and no doubt the wet and cold weather we have had lately greatly hastened his end.

Details: KING COCKEY.-For many years an identity of Singleton was King Cockey. Who by appearance at once claimed the attention of strangers. About 4ft high, and clad usually in a costume consisting of a policemans helmet, a volunteers jacket, and other articles very evidently not made for him, and his manly bosom ornamented with a brass shield bearing the legend Cockey, King of Oswald, this imposing personage would claim a toll of sixpence from all whom he met. Thankful when he got his toll, and uncomplaining when he didnt, Cockey pursued the even tenor of his way until last Friday night, when he gazed his last on his kingdom. King Cockey is dead, and apparently has left no successor to his unsubstantial throne. It may be mentioned that, on the occasion of Lord Carringtons visit to Maitland, Cockey personally welcomed the Governor, and had the honor of shaking hands with him. He did not neglect to ask his Lordship for sixpence, which he got

Place: Paterson river district
Source: MM
Details: George, King of Cawarra was a universal favourite among the whites, and held more influence over his countrymen than any other chief in the dsitrict from the period to which I have referred. He had been very severely wounded on one occasion by a young man whom he had approached under the idea that he was unarmed; but the artful fellow had trailed a spear along the ground, keeping it from view held between his toes, until he was within throwing distance. It struck George in the foot, just below the ancle and went right through. He broke it off and managed to reach the residence of Dr. Scott, the original prorieter of Wallalong who succeeded in extracting it. Poor George was, however, lamed for life. It was not ver ylong after this that he was attacked in camp at night by some Maitland blacks and had his jaw smashed with a waddie.

Place: Paterson river district
Source: Hunter Estates Comparative Heritage Study
Details: It is probable King George who was described at a ritual in the late 1820s or early 1830s at a place between Dunmore House and Bolwarra also had traditional attachments to land around Gresford where Henry Lindeman had by 1843 established his 800 acre property he named Cawarra. The correspondent in the 1877 recollection also wrote George held more influence over his country-men than any other chief in the district, from the period to which I have referred, and adds he had employed George one time in pulling corn. Little more is known about George other than his dress at the time consisted solely of a swallow-tailed blue cloth coat, with brass buttons, and an old tall black hat which had a look that George appeared more pleased than angry at the laugh which his singular appearance, thus apparelled, created.

Details: Description of Jerry, King of the tribe near Merton c. 1825 in the Memoirs of Mrs. Ellen Bundock.......Amongst my recollections of my childhood was playing with my brother, Fred, outside the house when, on looking up, we suddenly saw the whole hill covered with blacks, all armed to the teeth except the King or Chief Jerry, who was most amiable to us—a fine dignified looking man. He was clothed in an opossum skin rug and strips of fur found the loins and kept shaking hands with each of us in turn to convince his subjects that he was on friendly terms with us. Our father was absent in Sydney just then, so our mother was alone with us children and only a few men convicts about the place. The only weapon the chief had was a waddy stuck in his belt, which was worn on all occasions by the natives...The Grafton Examiner 2 April 1932
