Personal Notes:
In 1864 John Donnelly bought Big Springs Station. He stocked this run with his superior flocks from Bywong, then sold it, later he purchased Borambola Station. Here he continued to reside until within 2 years of his death, when he gave up management of his stations to his sons and retired to Gumly Gumly freehold, which he had bought from John Peter. He also became the owner of Cunningdroo Station. Before his death he purchased and presented to the local Order that very valuable block of land on which the Presentation Convent at Wagga Wagga is built.

John Donnelly's first wife, Bridget, died in 1857, and is buried in the old Pioneer Catholic Cemetery, Gundaroo. John Donnelly later met and married Mrs Catherine Hyland (nee Jones) who was a widow from Hazel Dell near Braidwood. They met on the road whilst taking their wool in bullock drays to Goulburn for sale. She (Catherine) cared for his growing family, but had none of her own.
