- Notes: Francis Foord arrived in Sydney in 1839 and came to Tumut in 1843. His first employment was with Henry Bingham, the Commissioner for Crown Lands.

In 1847, with Francis Anderson and a man named Moon, they built the first bridge over the Tumut River, just above the present racecourse. Other men employed on the job were Henry Rockley, Charles Lee and William Ward. There was a toll charge - £1 for teams and 1/- for pedestrians and single animals. A nearby crossing was used when the river was low.

In 1847 Francis Foord married Francis Anderson's daughter Martha Anderson. Shortly afterwards, in association with Moon, he built a flourmill driven by waterpower on the Gilmore Creek. Their sons were;
>Henry Foord,
>Charles Foord,
>Francis Foord,
>Edward Foord,
>William Henry Foord,
>Arthur Foord,
>Percy Foord.
and four daughters;
>Miss Foord (married W. Tinnies),
>Miss Foord (married a Mr. Groves),
>Miss Foord (married J. Webb),
>Eva Foord (married Charles Pember).

When the first township was moved from the river flat at Mill Angle, Francis Foord was one of the first to purchase town allotments at the first auction sale of Crown Lands at Tumut in 1849. Until 1890 he camed on the business of a wheelwright and undertaker.

Francis Foord died at Tumut on 31 December 1899aged 81 years. His wife died on 17 May 1887 aged 67 years.
