Notes:

Inquest
The Inquest was held on 31 January 1859, at the Burrumbeet Hotel. The Coroner held the inquest with a jury of twelve men, and their verdict was:
Her death took place on the twenty ninth instant at Burrumbeet and was caused by extreme haemorrhage during her confinement on same day - and we believe her life might have been saved by timely medical and surgical attendance.
There were three witnesses at the Inquest. One was Jane’s sister-in-law, Jane Paynter (married to James Camborne Paynter - brother of John Edward) who had been present through the labour, birth and death. The other two witnesses were Margaret Smart, the midwife who delivered the baby, and Dr John Creelman, who arrived half an hour after Jane had died. The writing is very hard to read but I have managed to transcribe it all.

Deposition of Margaret Smart of Burrumbeet:
I act as a maternity nurse, whenever I can get an engagement as such. I have known the deceased about a year, and she asked me a few months ago to attend upon her in confinement and I said I would give her a fair care, but if there was anything wrong I should have a doctor. I was called on Saturday last by Mr Paynter to come to the deceased who was taken bad in the forenoon. I found the deceased in labour and she told me that her waters had broken and labour pains continued, and in about half an hour after I came, the deceased was delivered of a male child. I freed the child from the mother and I gave the child to Mrs Fulton [or Hutton] and attended to the mother for about half an hour, but the afterbirth hadn't come away and I then asked Mr Paynter to get a Doctor and he asked me if there were was anything wrong and I said I thought there was not any danger as yet - but I would like her to be relieved.
Mr Paynter went away for the doctor and a short time after he left, the deceased said she had severe pains in her back but there was no bitterness. She then complained of being faint and told me she thought more was coming from her than should be and I said I thought that there was too much blood coming - but I could not do anything - but that the doctor would soon be here. The deceased had a drink of tea, hotter than lukewarm. She then said she was getting fainter - I supported her head in my arms and bathed her temples with vinegar and water, but she said she was dying and she never spoke more and died immediately after.

Evidence of Jane Paynter of Burrumbeet:
I am Sister in law to the deceased - we were married to Brothers. The deceased was bad all Friday night, but not in regular labour. Labour pains commenced about eight or nine o'clock A.M. on last Saturday. We then desired her Husband to go for Mrs Fulton who was our nearest neighbour and then for Mrs Smart. Mrs Fulton came immediately after and Mrs Smart came in about half an hour after. Deceased got worse with pains and was delivered of a boy about half an hour after Mrs Smart’s arrival. Mrs Smart attended to the deceased and in about half an hour she began to get bad and the Doctor was sent for immediately. Deceased continued to get worse and worse and she died about half an hour after the doctor was sent - and the Doctor arrived in about half an hour after her death. Deceased asked me to see what was coming from her as she thought there was more than there ought to be. I did look, but could not say there was too much as I never saw such before, but there was a great deal of blood about her.

Evidence of John Creelman, Surgeon, of Lake Learmonth:
I am a legally qualified medical practitioner and was called to see the deceased about midday on last Saturday and I arrived at the deceased's hut about 1 o'clock P.M. and found the deceased had died as I heard about half an hour before I had arrived. On examination of the deceased I found that the placenta had not come away and the umbilical cord untied and lying on the thigh of the deceased. I found a great quantity of fluid and blood in the bed around the person of the deceased. There were not any coagula of blood at all that I could see, and I judged from appearances of the bed clothes and countenance and sheets that excessive haemorrhage had taken place and which was the cause of her death.

James married Margaret THOMPSON on 10 Jan 1860 in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. Margaret was born about 1824 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia; died on 5 Apr 1908 in Strzelecki, Victoria, Australia; was buried on 7 Apr 1908 in Warragul Cemetery, Warragul, Victoria, Australia.

Notes:

19 July 1909, statement by Jamesina and Adelaide:
The said deceased was our mother and she informed us that she had been married but had separated from her husband many years ago. That we the deponents resided with the said deceased continuously all our lives until the deponent Adelaide Maud Buckley married in the year one thousand nine hundred and two, and the deponent Jamesina Victoria Brew continued to reside with the said deceased until her death. We never saw or heard from the husband of the said deceased and to the best of our knowledge, information and belief the said deceased never during the last fifty years of her life either saw or heard from or of her said husband, and to the best of our knowledge, information and belief the said husband of the deceased died in her lifetime, and that she was a widow at the time of her death.
Ever since we can remember the said deceased was generally known and passed by the name of Margaret Griffiths, and she used that name in her business transactions.
In the Will of James Grifith the said deceased is called “Margaret Thompson” and in her own Will of which we are seeking to obtain Probate, she is named and described as “Margaret Thompson, commonly known as Margaret Griffiths.”
8 October 1909, Jamesina made further statements:
The said deceased told me that Margaret Thompson was her maiden surname, and I verily believe it was.
I do not know the name of the husband of the said deceased referred to in this affidavit. I think “Taylor” was the name the said deceased was the name of her said husband.
the said deceased never during the last thirty-five years nor as I verily believe for many years nor before that used or was known by this surname of “Taylor” nor by any other surname except the surnames “Thompson” and “Griffiths” and to the best of my knowledge and belief the only occasions during this period aforesaid on which the surname “Thompson” was applied to her or on which she used the said surnames were in her own Will aforesaid and in the Will of James Grifith.
The said deceased lived with the said James Grifith for about thirty years and up to the date of his death and during that period she was reported to be his wife and always used his surname and in his Will is called Margaret Thompson otherwise known as Margaret Grifith, which last-mentioned name was usually pronounced as if it was spelt “Griffiths”.

Notes:

Will of father Francis Paynter, 9 July 1819.
Francis’ will requests that he be buried “as near as conveniently may be to the remains of my late beloved wife.” Margaret had died only the year before. He asked that his funeral “be private and conducted with as little expense as common decency will admit of.”
Francis states that he has already made liberal provision for his son Francis Camborne Paynter, with which “he has declared himself fully satisfied.” He was to be given a further sum of twenty guineas as a mark of his father’s “affection and regard.” Also to his wife Elizabeth, five guineas, and two guineas for his grandson Edward* “to be laid out in some article of remembrance.”
Francis states that he has spent two thousand pounds on his son Charles Henry Paynter, plus an annual sum of two hundred and fifty pounds for his personal expenses. Francis says that “I cannot consistently with the justice and duty which I owe to my other children, increase his fortune to a further extent.” However, Charles is to be given two hundred pounds by his executor within six months of his decease, but without interest. His wife Fanny is to be given “five guineas as a mark of my regard and affection.”
To his sons John Pender Paynter and Thomas Francis Paynter, he leaves all his shares in Whele Vor [normally spelt Wheal, meaning Mine] in the parish of Breage and near Helston, and also one near Redruth, and another at Polgooth near St Austle [(normally spelt AUSTELL]. After his death they would become tenants in common, not joint tenants of these shares.
John Pender Paynter was bequeathed the house where Francis lived, called Trekenning in the parish of St Columb Major. This also included all the fields and inclosures and crofts. John is also left enclosures called Castalot or Creggoes, and the meadow that faces the front of the house Trekenning called the Mill Meadow. Also the remainder of his farm in the Garden Meadow.
Thomas Francis Paynter was left Dunkans Meadow, now divided into two fields and the inclosure called Bolithos Field, now divided into three fields in the parish of Saint Columb. Thomas was also left the dwelling house and garden in Higher Trekenning which was rented out for three pounds thirteen shillings and six pence annually. Thomas was also given an annuity of 50 pounds which was rent paid annually by the Reverend Pomeroy Gilbert on the tithes of the Parish of St Wennin. Thomas was also given the benefits of an insurance policy from the Westminster Office for Insurance of Lives and Survivorship. Lastly he was to be paid by the executor two hundred pounds within one year of he father’s death.
All the goods, chattels etc. were bequeathed to John Pender Paynter.
*Edward died in June 1821 at age 4.

Immigration 1841.
Thomas and Mary (who was pregnant at the time) sailed on the "Samuel Boddington", which left London on September 1, 1841 for Cork, then sailed from Cork on September 21st. (Perilous Voyages to the New Land - Michael Cannon) The 670 ton ship arrived in Melbourne on January 13, 1842. There were 274 immigrants on board (115 of these from Cork). The ship sailed from the Cape to Melbourne in 38 days. (Biddle Books).

Joseph Wilson's "Voyage to Australia Log Book" in Latrobe Library:
"Wednesday September 1, 1841 - drove to London Bridge Wharf and went on board a steamer for Gravesend, then on the ship's boat which in a few minutes conveyed us to the "Samuel Boddington" and almost immediately we got under weigh."
[All passengers were seasick as they sailed from London to Lands End - approx. 5 days. They arrived in Cork on the 12th September and sailed fromCork on 21st. Irish emigrants had boarded and then the weather was too windy to sail earlier. A school was formed on the ship on 28th October. There were disputes about the rations, quality of beef and soup, and bad fish. One of the sailors was found in bed with one of the young women written about in Perilous Voyages to a New Land].
Thursday 23rd December - much talk about Christmas and Port Phillip.
Friday 24th December - 1/2 lb flour (extra) and 2oz plums for each adult served out for Christmas. A few bottles of wine and spirits being sold (by permission of the Captain). This evening some of the passengers got intoxicated, and quarrelling and fighting followed and the issue of any more was prohibited either for today or tomorrow.
Saturday 25th December, Christmas Day - had plum pudding according to custom but the scarcity of plums called forth many jokes on the occasion. Fine evening. Very cold.
Wednesday 29th December - Mrs Paynter, steerage passenger, confined about 4am with a son.
Saturday 1st January, 1842 - our young men welcomed the New Year at striking 8 bells by rough music, tin pots and singing songs.
Monday 10th January - instead of being ashore 2 or 3 days ago (as expected) we are tacking and turning to no purpose.
Friday 14th January - Cape Otway in sight at 2am. A fine view of the coast at 7am. At length at about 2pm we entered the Harbour of Port Phillip.Soon after a pilot came on board to conduct us up to the Bay where a Surgeon boarded us and on being informed we were all well, gave us permission to enter and anchor in the Bay where we brought up and finished our voyage."

The Samuel Boddington was sponsored by J. B, Were who important immigrants to Melbourne. The Were brothers brought out nearly 2,000 people by free passage in 10 ships from Britain and Ireland. During the summer months of 1841 and 1842, an epidemic of typhoid fever and dysentery broke out in Melbourne. With no sewers an sanitation the town quickly became polluted. (A Portrait of J B Were and his family - Clive Were). The Paynters were on board with the sponsored immigrants but they paid their own way.

Thomas and family were the first of my ancestors to come to Australia. At the time of their arrival in 1842, Melbourne was a settlement of about four and a half thousand people.
"Most of the town's buildings were still of wood, and wattle and daub but amongst them were a number of brick or stone houses, government buildings and commercial structures; a few had two or three storeys. Some of the buildings were in clusters, others were scattered about in ones or twos. The streets were marked out, although many were so rough as to be dangerous in the dry season and impassable in the wet. The people of Melbourne could choose to attend a church service of one of five denominations represented, and carry on their lives in the factories, stores, shops, insurance companies and banks. As well as entertaining at home, Melburnians attended picnics, race meetings, cricket matches, taverns and the theatre, or met at temperance, benefit society and lodge meetings. They could boat on the Yarra, listen to the military band on Flagstaff Hill or read a selection of local and overseas newspapers."
(A Place To Lay My Head - Keith Pescod).

Thomas married Mary Strange MOUNSTEVEN on 9 Sep 1823 in St Columb Major, Cornwall, England. Mary (daughter of William MOUNSTEVEN and Fanny Hicks SMITH) was born on 11 Oct 1804 in St Columb Major, Cornwall, England; died on 11 Oct 1885 in Rosevale, Allansford, Victoria, Australia; was buried on 13 Oct 1885 in Warrnambool Cemetery, Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia.

Notes:

Immigration.
They came to Australia in 1842 on board the "Samuel Boddington". Mary must have been pregnant, as her baby, Charles Boddington was born on the 5th January, 7 days before their landing in Melbourne. The baby's middle name was taken from the name of the ship - Charles Boddington Paynter. He was christened 3 days later, but there is no record of him after that.

Edward Bristow was also on board the same boat, so Mary would have met him then. He was 15 years younger than her. They claimed to have married in1843 or 1847 and Mary's 2 children - William and Eliza- were born in 1843 and 1847 in Collingwood (where Edward was also living). They were baptised as Paynters with Thomas named as their father, but were later known as Bristow, so perhaps they were Edward's children after all.

They moved to Warrnambool in 1848/49 and had another child, John, in 1850, born there. Mary took William and Eliza to Warrnambool with her and Edward, but all her other children, (James, Henry, John and Francis) who were the only ones still alive, went with Thomas to Carngham. Another daughter Mary must have stayed in Melbourne as she married Francis Ford there in 1853, but then they also moved to Warrnambool.
Thomas claimed in his will that he had not seen his wife for 20 years, so they must have still been legally married.

On Mary's death certificate her children are listed as:
1st marriage
Thomas William (dec.)
James Camborne 59
Mary (dec.)
Henry Mounsteven (dec.)
John Edward 62
George (dec.)
Francis (dec.)

Notes:

ROYAL CORNWALL GAZETTE, 2 August 1817
TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS The Prince of Wales, REGENT Of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain & Ireland. We, the undersigned NOBLEMEN, GENTLEMEN. CLERGY, FREEHOLDERS, and other INHABITANTS of the COUNTY of CORNWALL, feel it to be our Duty to repeat to your ROYAL HIGHNESS the assurances of our loyal and unalterable Attachment; and to express our Indignation at, and Abhorrence of, the late treasonable Attack upon the Sacred Person of your Royal Highness. As faithful Subjects, strongly attached to our PRINCE ; as Englishmen, proud in the possession of a glorious CONSTITUTION: we are as eager to shield the one from Insult and Violence, as we are to protect the other from Innovation or Subversion. At the present momentous Crisis of Public Affairs, we feel ourselves imperiously railed upon by what we owe to our Country, and our Prince, to enter a solemn Protest against the whole Tenor and Substance of an address purporting to be an Address of the “Gentry, Clergy, Freeholders, and other Inhabitants of the County of Cornwall," which appears by the Public Prints to have been resolved upon at a Meeting held at Bodmin, on the eleventh day of March last, by the Individuals then and there assembled. We are anxious to repel from ourselves the charge of Discontent and Insubordination, to which the spirit of its language must necessarily expose us; and to condemn as groundless and absurd, and to disavow with warmth, that wild and feverish sentiment which declares the temporary and short Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, to be "a part of a Systematic Conspiracy to overthrow the existing Laws and Constitution, and to establish in their stead, and on their ruins, a despotic and military Government." We have witnessed with sorrow, and contemplated with alarm, a spirit of Disaffection and Treason, pervading many parts of the British Empire, owing its birth to the temporary difficulties and distresses which have oppressed the Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commerce of the Kingdom, and its growth and dissemination, to the artful efforts of designing Traitors, deluded Patriots, and mistaken Reformers. We regard the unanimous Testimony of the Committees of the Lords and Commons as to the existence of these traitorous Conspiracies, as affording to us more than an adequate Proof of their reality, which has been but too well con- firmed by the rash attempts of the Conspirators themselves. Relying, as we do, on the Wisdom and Integrity of the Parliament of this happily united Kingdom, we can neither question the policy, or doubt the necessity, of those measures, which in full and solemn Council, it has thought expedient to adopt ; and which, by a temporary suspension of a part, is intended to ensure the permanent Security of the whole of that fundamental System of Laws, which has so long blessed this happy Land with prosperity, its Government with stability, and its Individuals with a full measure of rational liberty.

LOUISA BAILLIE IN ADELAIDE.
South Australian Register, Saturday 8 September 1849, page 3
POLICE COURT— PORT ADELAIDE.
Friday, 7th September. [Before G. F. Dashwood and H. Duncan, Esqrs. ]
James Blacklock, James Lobb, Robert Woodhouse, John McKinnon, Wm. Wills, Wm Lewis, Isaac Stagg, John Stagg, James Southerwood, John Richolls, and Peter Brand, eleven seamen belonging to the Louisa Baillie, were brought in charged with unlawfully and maliciously stabbing, cutting, and wounding Police-constables Reid, Etheridge, Freebody, MacDonald, and Leech, with intent to resist and prevent the lawful apprehension of Robert Woodhouse, James Blacklock, and James Lobb.
It appeared that Sergeant Reid and Police-constable Leech went on board the Louisa Baillie to execute warrants on three of the crew for absenting themselves without leave. When they went on board, about half past twelve o'clock, they asked for the men, who consented to go on shore peaceably, provided they were allowed to have their dinner previously. They were allowed upwards of twenty minutes, when the Sergeant went forward, and desired them to come on shore with him; but they made several frivolous excuses, and ultimately refused. He then went on shore for three more of the force, who speedily arrived, and attempted to induce them to go quietly; but they dared the police, saying, 'It would take all the police in Adelaide to force them on shore.'
A desperate encounter then ensued, and one of the force (McDonald) had his wrist broken, and Etheridge received a severe cut on the head, laying it open for about three inches; but they ultimately succeeded, in getting them safely locked up in the watch-house. The weapons used by the seamen were axes, shovels, hammers, bolts, pump-breaks, and iron bolts. The evidence being conclusive against the prisoners, they were all committed to take their trial.
