Note 4: Burial info NSW bdm MCALPIN PETER 11528/1898 Parents PETER and ELIZABETH SINGLETON Sydney Stock and Station Journal 27 Sept 1898 Mr. Peter McAlpine, who lived in Victoria for 30 years and had been a resi dent of New South Wales for 51 years, died at Singleton on Friday, aged 89. He was born in Scotland. Windsor and Richmond Gazette 22 Oct 1898 A very old settler died at Singleton on Septem- ber 23, in the person of Peter McAlpin aged 89½ years. This hoary veteran and his brother, William McAlpin (18 months younger), who sur- vives him, arrived in N.S.W. as children in 1812. Their people settled on the Hawkesbury, and are related to the Onus family. Peter remembered Muswellbrook in 1825, and saw some "life" in the city of Melbourne in the '40's and '50's. There are few older colonists alive than William McAlpin, who resides at Bulga, near Singleton, and still actively attends to his farm.

Personal Notes:

Australian Royalty: Genealogy of the Coplony of NSW Charles was described as a carrier living at Gundagai. He would have transported goods from Merriwa to Muswellbrook either with bullocks or more probably with a horse & cart. As a local he would have been well aquainted with James Turner and his wife Mary who ran the hotel. After the death of James, Charles (as he would have been known) would have seized the opportunity to court the widow Mary Turner.
