Ancestors of Gary Ian Patton

General Notes: Anecdotal family evidence indicates that William ran away from home at a young age, escaping to America onboard a ship as a cabin boy and then being press-ganged into service, in America, onboard a whaling ship which travelled to the southern oceans. William eventually escaping his servitude when the ship berthed in Hobart and making his way to Port Philip onboard the ship, Stratheden.

It appears that it may well be accidental that our family now lives in Australia and not the USA where many of William's cousins emigrated to. His knowledge of family members being in the USA and perhaps letters of their adventures may have prompted him to head to America in the first place.

Another scenario raised by Charles Corsie Patton in an interview with Doug Hutchinson in 1984 (see Charles Corsie Patton's records) is that their may have been a young girl involved and it may have been fortuitous for him to depart the Orkney Islands. He was approximately 14 years of age when he ran away to sea.

On Sunday last.in the Orchestra practice room of the Deutscher Turn Verein, reference was made to the lamented death of a professional musician, the late Mr. Frederick Hess, senior.

After that he travelled with Burton's Circus all over the Australian Commonwealth. He eventually became a fixture in Melbourne, and of late years was principal Clarionet in all the leading Theatres, the Melbourne and Metropolitan Liedertafels, Philharmonic Society, Exhibition Orchestra, and the late Head Quarters Band, under the conductorship of the late Mr. Johnston, and the present Mr. Julius Siede.

Mr. Hess was also a member of Melbourne Dentscher Turn Verein for many years; and his last appearance, was on Sunday, September 21| when he seemed, to be in his usual state of health. Four days after pneumonia claimed him, and his death at the age of 60 came as a great shook upon the musical community.

On the motion of Mr.. St. John . Caws, seconded by Mr.- H. Weinberg, his memory was drunk. in silence, and a message of condolence sent through his son Mr. F. Hess to the surviving widow, sons, daughters, and relatives.

General Notes:

George was a Sawyer and Carrier.

When he and Isabella Beaton married they lived at Winding Creek with Isabella's three young daughters. Winding Creek was later named Longwood (It is now known as Old Longwood, after the township was moved to it's present location next to the Railway line.) for awhile, then moved to Euroa, where their only son George was born.

George was a listed as a widower when he married Isabella Beaton, it is also interesting to note that both George and Isabella listed their addresses on the marriage registry as Winding Creek, which suggests that they moved from Murchison and may have lived together prior to their marriage.

Isabella with her brother William and his wife Mary sailed on the "India" in 1841 to Australia.

The Following Article Is From The Greenock Advertiser, 25 May, 1841

The sailing ship the India sailed from Greenock Scotland on 4
June 1841 carrying 193 bounty immigrants and crew bound for the Australian colony of Port Phillip. On the 20th July, six weeks into the voyage and being some 200 miles from land and 1200 miles from Rio de Janeiro, the ship caught fire and sunk. 17 Souls perished in the disaster with the remainder being rescued by the crew of a French whaling vessel the Roland.The survivors were conveyed to Rio de Janeiro where the British Government hired another ship the Grindlay to transport them to Port Phillip where they arrived on 22 October, some four and a half months after leaving Scotland.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The following account of the India's encounter with pirates was published in the Port Phillip Patriot on Monday October 25, 1841;

About a fortnight before the burning of the India, when about 5 deg.N. of the line, she sighted a brig, evidently from her movements a pirate. This vessel rapidly gained on the India, and on coming within speaking distance shortened sail and hove to; on being informed in answer to questions put, that the India was bound for this port with passengers, the pirate forged a head, but after increasing her distance, to about a quarter of a mile, she wore round and passed the India on the other tack. The alarm, however, excited on board the latter vessel in consequence, soon subsided, on the pirate, after asking if anyone on board could speak Spanish, passing them without any attempt at molestation.This vessel was a few days after captured by H.M. brig Acorn, 16 guns, and brought into Rio de Janiero; her crew consisted of 63 persons, who were sent as prisoners to the island of St Helena. The Acorn a short time previous to the capture of the pirate brig, had taken a slaver with 300 unfortunate souls on board.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------

The following report on the capture of a pirate ship was published in The Edinburgh Oct / Nov 1841.

The Journal du Havre publishes the following report on the capture of the Gabriel, communicated by Captain Blay, of the Jeune Pauline, just arrived at Havre from Rio Janeiro:- " The English brig Acorn having, in lat. 5.N perceived at great distance a vessel pillaging another, made chase, and instantly the Gabriel hoisted all her sail, and endeavoured to escape. At three in the afternoon the Acorn fired, and the Gabriel returned the fire, at the same time hoisting Portuguese colours. The chase continued for 12 hours, during the whole of which time firing was kept up by both vessels, but eventually the Gabriel was dismasted, and captured.She was sent to St Helena, but her crew, consisting of fifty- eight men, Spaniards and others, were put on board an English vessel at Rio. The captain jumped overboard during the chase, with all his papers.The merchandise found on board the Gabriel was valued at 8000 pounds. The Acorn had not time to ascertain to what country the vessel which was being pillaged by the Gabriel belonged, but she carried English colours. Captain Blay also reports that the English merchants resident at Rio have presented Captain Lecosannet, of the Roland, with a handsome gold chronometer and snuff box, and given to each of his crew a hundred francs, in testimony of the sense entertained of their humanity in saving the crew and passengers of the India.

A spectacular painting titled "The Burning of the barque India of Greenock 1841" by Samuel Elyard (1817 - 1910) is held in the collection of The Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney.
From the shipping list Isabella and Mary were both 19 years old and William 21 years of age.

Isabella Beaton, A Pioneer Australian Woman: 1842, Murchison, Victoria, Australia

On September 7, 1842 Isabella married John Pike. Isabella would have provided for all her family's scholastic needs following this, as when she was on the Goulbourn Aboriginal Protectorate in 1843, she was appointed School Mistress, or Matron.

At the time when John and Isabella were in Murchison the school was attached to the Protectorate. A letter referring to Isabella was sent to the Chief Protector of Aborigines. It reads.....

Goulburn River District
February 3rd, 1843.
Sir,
I have the honour to recommend that Mrs.Pike be appointed
School Mistress or Matron of the Aboriginal Establishment in the
district, for which her cleanly habits and general good conduct render
her well qualified.
I have the honour to be Sir,
Your obedient servant,
W Le Souef.

Also when she moved to Euroa, she was a Sunday School Teacher in the 1850's. The first Sunday schools which are recorded in Euroa were conducted by Mrs. Maurice Garrett at the Euroa Inn and Mrs. McGartney at the Pilgrim Inn.
The first marriage recorded for the Church of England in Euroa was held at her home on February 2, 1854 between Edward Williams and Martha Norris who were both of Euroa.

Isabella wrote a letter to Eliza, warning her of Peter Murdock, it would appear that Peter may not at that time have been her son-in-law (or outlaw) and that "Jiny" referred to a Jiny Williams.

Euroa August 18th 1874

Before her death Isabella was ill for six days, and had been consulted by Dr John Nicholson on the eve of her death. When she passed away Maurice was at her side.

William, brother to Isabella who was later to marry George Harrison, emigrated to Australia just after his marriage, aged 21 years, in 1841 with his new wife and sister Isabella.

Enroute to Australia, as the story goes, the 3rd mate and one of the boys were below about 1pm, drawing off spirits, when the candle they used accidently fell into a pool of spilt rum. The flames erupted and no attempts made could quell the inferno. It spread with such ferocity that the survivors had no time to save belongings and were lucky to escape with the clothes on their back.

Following the fire of the ship, India (refer to Isabella's notes), William succeeded in getting his wife and sister into a small boat, but as it would not safely hold another person, he himself swam two miles before they were picked up by a passing French whaling vessel, the Roland.

They were taken to Rio de Janeiro, where the British Government hired another ship, the Grindlay to transport the survivors to Port Phillip.

On arrival in Melbourne, William first found employment on a cattle station in the country.

A year or two later, in 1844-1845, he found his way to 'Old Longwood' where he built the first hotel, the Salutation Inn for Mr. Hugh Middlemiss, the structure being of wattle and daub.

He was a stonemason by trade and he was later to put up the stone buildings at the "Killeen" homestead for Mr Chas. Ryan.
