Notes |
- Passage from Quartermaine book - Elijah Nigel Quartermaine son of Elijah Quartermaine, built a two room cottage on the family property, intending to marry a school teacher from England whose passage to the colony he had arranged. His plans did not work out, because the woman jilted him and returned to England, allegedly taking with her 200 pounds belonging to Elijah.
When he was over his disappointment Elijah fell in love with Mary 'Wartum', or 'Wantum', a woman of Aboriginal and European descent living in the Aboriginal encampment. A story is told of how Mary was to have been married to a tribal husband, but she fled from her camp to avoid this. Elijah offered her protection and an alternative to tribal life, and later marriage. Another story tells of how Mary came to work for Elijah as a housekeeper, bringing with her two children by a former marriage. The couple's common unhappy experiences in love provided a bond between them, their feelings for each other grew, and they were married or lived together. It is likely that both of these stories contain elements of what actually happened. In any event, Elijah and Mary remained together for the rest if their lives and had a large family of twelve children, many of whom were named after their uncles and aunts on their father's side.
On the death of Elijah Quartermaine senior, Elijah inherited part of the estate. This passed to Mary on his death, and then finally two grandchildren, Eva and Emily Rodney.
