Elizabeth Macarthur the wife of John Macarthur of
Elizabeth Farm Parramatta & Camden Park Camden NSW
was born in Devonshire - her father died when she was still a
very young child & she was brought up by her grandfather
whose property was in the neighbourhood of Bridgerule Nr
Launceston. She appears to have married Mr [illegible]
when about 20 years of age & left with Him for New South Wales
in Novr. 1789. I have a Copy of her Journal which will
I think prove interesting - which gives a good account of
the tedious nature of the [illegible] in those early days of NSW

I remember [my?] dear grandmother very distinctly tho' she
died in 1849.
