Note 1: Reg No V1811200 5 - Thomas REIBY - no parents given see notes on Mary Reibey - 'he was only 36 at his death' Sydney Gazette 6 April 1811 On Friday evening died, at his house in Macquarie Place, Mr. Thomas Reibey, after a severe indisposition of several months, the origin of which he attributed to a coup-de-soleil when in India, from whence he returned to this Colony in October last. He was an affectionate husband, an indulgent parent, and leaves a widow and large family to regret his loss.

Note 2: Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser 27 Nov 1823 On the 26th ult. at Entally, the residence of Mr. Thomas Reibey, Launceston, Port Dalrymple, Mr. GEORGE REIBEY, aged 23 years. This truly excellent young Gentleman met with death prema- turely. He resided on his farm some miles distant from town. One day he went into the woods with the intention of hunting. He had occasion to ascend a tree, and when some height the branch that momentarily sustained him, broke off, and Mr. Reibey fell on his back, encountering the stump of a tree in the fall. For a considerable time he was senseless ; and when he recovered from the violence of the fall, it was only to discover that he was in an injured and weakened state, and destitute of the assistance of a domestic, or the sympathy of a friend. Providence, however, afforded him strength to reach his residence ; and intelligence was instantly sent off to Launceston of the unfortunate circumstance. Three Surgeons attended Mr. Reibey, but an inflammation, having commenced, it was found im- possible to impede its fatal progress. He lived to learn the lamented death of a beloved sister ; and, in a few days after HER death, he followed Mrs. Wills to the world of spirits ! Those who were acquainted with Mr. Reibey are best enabled to estimate his worth. It is often the case that many, when no more, are exalted for virtues they never possessed ; but this cannot be alleged in the present lamentable instance. The many virtues of the deceased shone conspicuously forth in numberless instances ; and he possessed a mind well stored with intellectual attainments. His pursuits, which were of a literary turn, were calculated to con- stitute him an useful and honorable Member of both these interesting Colonies. In Mr. Reibey, therefore, a deprivation is experienced, both public and private. In our Bible Society, in this Colony, Mr. Reibey occupied for some time the fatiguing duty of Collector, and it is well known that none more amply contributed to these heavenly coffers, by influence and exertion, than the deceased. — In Hobart Town he was the first that actively coalesced with the Rev. Mr Horton, Wesleyan Missionary, about two years since, in procuring sub- scriptions and donations towards the erection of the Wesleyan Chapel in progress in that Colony. These are little things; but such minute transactions stamp the character of the youth, and will occupy a place in the records of Heaven when time shall cease to roll. His disconsolate mother, and many relatives, have only to expect consolation, for such a loss, in the sym- pathizing bosom of a crucified and adorable JESUS !
