It is a long time since I made the contribution to FF. I think the problem I had at the time was in interpreting the superscript notation. I'm not even sure that what I did was correct. I think the second generation should have been 1.1, 2.1 and so on. So, to cut a long story short, I think it was because I wasn't sure how to add other generations. I have copies of the books you mentioned although I haven't read them from cover to cover I have made excursions into them from time to time.

The depositions of the witnesses at his inquest describe the events of his last hours but Mary's statement is very bland.

The letters that he posted home are in the State Library as is his suicide note. I have read them, touched them, got very emotional handling them and have copies of them.

I have just discovered this site through googling "Richard Corbett settler" this afternoon. Not yet au fait with rootschat but am trying to find my way around it. You have done an incredible amount of research going over part of the ground that I covered some years ago. I made the post (correct term?) on firstfamilies that you referred to in one of your earlier messages. The emails bounced when I changed my email address. Richard Corbett is one of my gg gfathers. I am a descendant of Jane and her first husband. John's daughter, Isabella, married pioneering artist John Llewellyn Jones which is an exciting story in itself.
