  • John Dight and His Descendants
    10 JOHN DIGHT AND HIS DESCENDANTS by the President, Norman S. Pixley C.M.G., M.B.E., V.R.D., Kt.O.N., F.R. Hist. S.Q. Read at the Annual Meeting of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland 22 September 1977 It is 176 years since John Dight came to Australia. From the time this early pioneer first received a grant of land at Richmond on the Hawkesbury River, he and members of his family extended their holdings north to the Mclntyre River on the border of what is now Queensland and as far south as the River Yarra. John Dight was born in Axminister, Devon on 24 March 1772 and arrived in Sydney as a surgeon in the Earl Cornwallis on 10 June 1801. He was accompanied by his wife Hannah and their infant daughter Sarah, who had been born the previous year. He was appointed surgeon to the Governor Philip Gidley King and a document still in the possession of descendants shows he was permitted the right of private practice also, at a charge of 2/6d per patient. There is, however, no record of his practising his profession in this regard, as Dight fairly early obtained a position in the Commissariat Department until he received a grant of land at Richmond. The farm, which was called "Durham Bowes" was situated on the river at Mulgrave. In James Steele's "Early Days of Windsor" John Dight's name appears as one of the signatories in 1807 to an address presented by "Holders of landed estates and principal inhabitants of the Hawkesbury, Portland, Richmond and neighbouring districts" to Governor Bligh, thanking him for his "unbounded attention to the district and the Colony at large in the dreadful crisis in which he found it".
