Personal Notes:
Richard 1844 was the first of the Large children born in NSW, probably at Tumut. In 1869 he and his brother John were travelling with sheep in the vicinity of Tumbarumba when their cook decamped early one morning with Richard's horse, then rode to the Post Office and obtained a registered letter by passing himself off as John Large and forging his signature. He then hot-footed it to Daly's public house - and cashed a cheque for 16 pounds which was enclosed in the letter J Richard missed the horse and gave chase, nearly catching the miscreant who abandoned the horse and ran into the bush. Captured by the police, the cook said he had planted the money and letters but had forgotten where he put them! He contended John had previously allowed him to sign his name to save the bother of going personally to the post office. This was right, so horse-stealing was the only charge that could be brought!
In 1881 at Tumut Richard married Isabella Rhoda RATLIFF, the 23-year-old daughter of Charles Hodges Ratliff and Julia Bingham, daughter of Dr Large's old mate the Gold Commissioner! Both Charles and Julia had been witnesses at the marriage of Henrietta Large to James Elworthy.
Richard and Isabella's marriage was tragically brief but they had one son Richard William born at Tumut in May 1882, just two months before his father's death from brain congestion on 16 July. Richard Snr was buried at Tumut Pioneers Cemetery where he shares a grave with his father and older brother.
