| Personal Notes: |
| Matthew was educated at Oxford, was Barrister-at Law Inner Temple in 1836, and M. P for Salisbury 1857 1858. He came to Australia and bought Salisbury Court in 1840 from Robert MacKenzie. He returned to England in 1844, married and brought Elizabeth Merewether back to a slab hut. The earliest home at Salisbury Court was a slab and canvas cottage and it was to this rough dwelling that Matthew Marsh brought his bride Elizabeth in 1844, which in those times was considered "the most comfortable of squatter's places." The hut was of wood, long pieces put upright, but not exacly meeting, so that if there was no canvas around the inside it would be airy enough. It was but a ceiling of canvas that prevented a person from seeing daylight through the wooden slated roof. A new house was commenced on Boxing Day 1844 and was built of stone 45 centimeteres thick, whilst the timber in the doors, floors and roof beams, and architraves are of cedar. The interior of the stone is plastered with a mixture of mud and cowhair. The home is a National Trust building in 1988 and is in a continuous state of use and repair. A shepherd from "Booralong", Edward Hayes gave to Salisbury a hand carved cedar fireplace as a wedding gift for Matthew Marsh and his bride. He used a pocketknife and hand made tools to manufacture the treasure over a period of ten years.The first windmill on the new England was at Salisbury Court, and was used to grind their own flour. He later bought Booralongin about 1845, not far from Salisbury and Maryland near Stanthorpe. He was MLA for the NSW Parliament. He was active with Robert MacKenzie and Stuart Donaldson while working for separation, and was there to hear Sir George Bowen officially proclaim Queensland a a colony. He was responsible for the first windmill in New England, with which he used to grind his own wheat. He was responsible for introducing White Clover into the New England. He returned to England in 1865 and became an MP for Salisbury and his brother Charles William took over the managment of his holdings. After Charles Willian died the management was taken over by Edwin Blomfield who was married to Kate, the seconddaughter of Charles William Marsh. |
