    • Joseph had fight with school teacher at age 14 years. Ran away and got job on boat to Western Australia. Year 1858. Arrived Fremantle, came ashore very sorry and forlorn. W.L. Brockman of Gingin took him to "Cheriton". He later worked for DEWAR's at Bedamanup and Bootine. During this time he met Jane DEWAR who became his wife in 1873 in the new Methodist Chapel in Gingin (believed to have been the first wedding ever held there. Joseph was experienced as a sawyer and builder, erected a small house beside that of Jane's father on "Bootine Spring", but when he selected Swan Location 1215 near the Bootine Swamp, they moved to that location bulding a new mud-bat house on their own land (now owned by Max HARRIS - grandson). (from "Neergabby" by de Burg).

      "Unfortunately we do not have the trial records for Joseph Harris here. As he was tried at the Lncolnshire assize court, rather than one of the Quarter Sessions courts, records relating to his trial are held centrally at the Public Record Office. The PRO has an on-line leaflet about their transportantion records at www.pro.gov.uk/leaflets/ri2235.htm . The jornal of the gaoler of Lincoln gaolmentions Joseph Harris briefly. It states that he was sentenced to 7 years, and was cautioned for disobedience on 1 August 1864."
