21 I was born in 1792 and died in 1856. I am the son of a watch maker and goldsmith. I left Scotland in 1811 to take up a job in London. I migrated to New South Wales in 1823.

22 I owned a couple of houses in Sydney including a grand mansion at Potts Point. I built Tempe House on the banks of Cooks River and lived there. I was a wealthy merchant.

23 Unfortunately, I was bankrupt by the depression of the 1840s. I died on the 21st of October 1856. Sadly, no notices of my death appeared in any Sydney newspapers.
