    MICHAEL GANNON c1798 - 1881 © Leonie Fretwell, 2017 Michael Gannon Having spent time in the Lumber Yard, Michael was subsequently assigned as a government servant to Joseph Broadbent, also a carpenter, where he met his future wife, Mary Parsonage who was also a servant in the Broadbent household.1 Born in 1808, Mary was a daughter of Thomas Parsonage, a convict who had arrived on the Hillsborough in October 1798 and his wife Mary Jones, another convict who was transported on the Earl Cornwallis.2. A letter dated 30 July 1824 from the Colonial Secretary’s office notified approval for banns being published for Michael Gannon and Mary Pasonage [sic].3 They were married on 31 August 1824 at St Philips Church, Sydney. The groom was 26 years old and his bride was 18. The witnesses were Maria Parsonage and John Jenkins Peacock.4 For the October 1825 muster they were both still listed (Mary under her maiden name) as servants in the Broadbent household.5 Subsequently Mary petitioned the Governor Darling for her husband to be assigned to her.6 However the 1828 census finds the couple living at Cambridge Street, in the Rocks area, (Michael being recorded as a Government Servant), together with their 4 year old son John, and Michael’s brother James, and one Robert Whitaker, age 15, who had arrived (came free) per the Broxbornebury in 1814, and who was an apprentice to J & M Gannon.7 Michael was given Ticket of Leave number 29/0429 under the condition that he remained in the district of Sydney.

  • 'Such Spiritual Acress
    ‘Such Spiritual Acres’ Protestantism, the land and the colonisation of Australia, 1788‐1850 Meredith Lake Doctor of Philosophy thesis University of Sydney July 2008 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the transmission of Protestantism to Australia by the early British colonists and its consequences for their engagement with the land between 1788 and 1850. It explores the ways in which colonists gave religious meaning to their surrounds, particularly their use of exile and exodus narratives to describe journeying to the colony and their sense of their destination as a site of banishment, a wilderness or a Promised Land. The potency of these scriptural images for colonising Europeans has been recognised in North America and elsewhere: this study establishes and details their significance in early colonial Australia. This thesis also considers the ways in which colonists’ Protestant values mediated their engagement with their surrounds and informed their behaviour towards the land and its indigenous inhabitants. It demonstrates that leading Protestants asserted and acted upon their particular values for industry, order, mission and biblicism in ways that contributed to the transformation of Aboriginal land. From the physical changes wrought by industrious agricultural labour through to the spiritual transformations achieved by rites of consecration, their specifically Protestant values enabled Britons to inhabit the land on familiar material and cultural terms. The structural basis for this study is provided by thematic biographies of five prominent colonial Protestants: Richard Johnson, Samuel Marsden, William Grant Broughton, John Wollaston and John Dunmore Lang. The private and public writings of these men are examined in light of the wider literature on religion and colonialism and environmental history.
