Family tradition is that Andrew was a son of Thomas Turnbull, last Laird of "The Remnant" of the Barony of Bedrule. Another link is with the Burnfoot family,descendants of Andrew. Their burial place is the same as that occupied by the old Bedrule family.

It is said that the last Laird`s eldest son died in India, leaving a quarter of a million, which was long ago annexed to the Government. Mr. Craig, the minister of Bedrule, who died at a great age, used to say that Thomas Turnbull was heir to it. Thomas`s reply was - "If you will recover it, I shall be happy to give you half."

------

Retoured as heir to his father, William Turnbull, in 1668, long after his father`s death. A deed under the Great Seal of date 1649 had conferred Andrew Ker, eldest son of Sir Thomas Ker, of Cavers, knight, in the lands and barony of Bedrule. Ker of Cavers, allowed Thomas Turnbull to remain on sufferance for a period in Bedrule Mill until he could find a home elsewhere.

He appears to have remained at Bedrule until 1672, and what became of him after is not known.

Mr. Stanbury, father of Jim Stanbury, ex world's champion sculler, died on Thursday 8-10-1924 at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. W. Fraser of Caringbah (Mary). He was in his 88th year.
Other members of the family who survive are Mr. Stewart Stanbury, Mr Arthur Stanbury, Mrs Fraser, Mrs Booth (of Jamberoo), Mrs. McPherson (of Essendon, Melbourne) , and Mrs Keith May.
James Stanbury (Snr) and his wife Catherine (nee Riley). They had a total of 10 children - 5 girls and 5 boys, born between 1864 and 1885.
James Snr, had migrated to Australia from Bratton Flemming near Barnstable, North Devon, arriving in Sydney on the steamship Fitzjames on April 7, 1857, at the age of 21 years.
He met Catherine Riley in Camden, and subsequently married her on February 2, 1863 at the Scots Church in Sydney. Catheringe was born at "The Rocks" Sydney on February 19, 1846. We think he may have been a tenant farmer in Camden, perhaps had an orchard. As the McCarther family rented out plots of land around this time to farmers.
In 1867, James Snr took up the position of farm superintendent on Mullet Island (now called Dangar Island) which had been a land grant to Henry Dangar. There they farmed until 1874, when it was decided to move to Terar on the banks of the Shoalhaven River to take up tenant farm owned by the deMestre family. Terara is slightly downriver from the present-day Nowra and was the first settlement on the south bank of the Shoalhaven. The Stanbury home still exists today. Terara was actually the original site for Nowra.
James is buried with his wife in the Nowra Cemetary (Wesleyan section) The grave is missing a headstone.
James Snr. set up a market garden and a shop on the rich alluvial flats. He also purchased a trading boat for selling and buying goods up and down the river. Whilst James Snr. tended his shop and trading boat - the young James Stanbury looked after the market garden and farm animals.
In 1877, James Stanbury was heard in the Supreme Courth of NSW for his case for Insolvency. Unfortunately tragically he lost his business, and property due to his boat being damaged in an accident, which cost 150 pounds to repair, and the loss of money through insolvency and death of some of his customers who owed him money. James surrendered his estate for the benefit of creditors. There is a document of his insolvency in existence.
The family continued to live in Terara until after the birth of their final child in 1885. Sometime in about 1886 they left Terara and moved futher up the Shoalhaven River to a farm on the southern bank where Saltwater Creek enters the river. This property is in the western lee of Pulpit Rock and opposite the old Boyd property of Bundanon. The property acquired by James Stanbury Snr is called "Calymia". James Snr planted an orchard on the new farm and carried on with general farming.
