General Notes: Buried 8/3/1875 at St Paul's, Castle Hill, NSW, Australia
Information supplied by Allen Maunder:
"James Bellamy - When James inherited his father's 'Bellamy Farm' in 1850 he already owned much land in the district. In 1818 he was granted 60 acres situated west of the present Cumberland State Forest in Castle Hill Road, and in 1841, another 60 acres, which were the two 30 acre grants of Michael McDonald and Timothy Connors who did not take up their land and which were situated between James Bellamy's 'Bellamy Farm' and 'Bellamy Homestead'. In 1836 he received the 63 acre Thorn grant which lay to the west of 'Bellamy Farm', making a total of over 280 acres reaching from the present Castle Hill Road to Aiken Road and south of the same road and being in the area of our interest 'The West Pennant Hills Valley'.
In 1818 James married Hannah Singleton at St. John's, Parramatta, and built his timber home on the 60 acre grant in Castle Hill Road. He was to replace the home with a stone building which is described under 'Homes of the Valley'. On 10th June, 1824 James applied to the Governor, Sir Thomas Brisbane, for a further land grant. He described himself as "a native of the Colony, on a farm of 60 acres at Castle Hill granted by Governor Macquarie. He had a wife and three children, possessed a number of cattle and horses with insufficient pastures. Is able to support 5 men off stores."
The 1828 Census includes James (age 31) and Hannah (age 26) and six children. James was described as a Protestant landholder of Castle Hill with 240 acres, 55 cleared, 47 cultivated, 6 horses and 50 horned cattle. James and Hannah had four sons, William (b.1822), James (b.1836), Joseph (b.1840) and Zadok (b.1843). There were 10 daughters.
In 1862 James, because of "the natural love and affection for his son, Joseph, and for his better maintenance, livelihood and support" conveyed to the said Joseph that 70 acres of the 100 acre 'Bellamy Farm' lying north-west of the road running through it. The remaining 30 acres on the south-east side of the road, James left to his daughter Mary Ann, wife of James Shields.
Hannah died in 1869 and was buried at St. Paul's Church of England, Castle Hill. In 1871 James married Martha Martin who was many years his junior. James died in 1875 and was buried with his first wife, Hannah."
"James Bellamy (1798-1875), son of William and Ann, though unable to sign his name on either of his marriage certificates, became the owner of large areas of land, was the respected head of a large family, a foundation Trustee of the Pennant Hills National Schools, and a Special Constable when required for the capture and holding of runaway convicts.
James's first land grant was one of 60 acres on the southern side of Castle Hill Road, on the west of the present Cumberland National Forest. In 1818 he married Hannah Singleton at St. John's, Parramatta, the officiating Minister being the Revd. Samuel Marsden. Hannah (1800-1869) was the daughter of William and Hannah Singleton, who farmed 90 acres of land granted to them in 1799 on the Hawkesbury River near Freeman's Reach. Hannah's brother, Benjamin Singleton, was one of the explorers who found a way through the Hunter River Valley and established the settlement there, named Singleton after Benjamin.
James Bellamy, after his first three children were born, wrote to Governor Brisbane (1824) requesting more land-, he stated he had a number of cattle and horses and required more pasture and was able to support five men off stores. This suggested he was a successful farmer even at the early age of 26. He also had enough wheat in 1821 to supply some to the Government Stores. Governor Brisbane gave him another 60 acres.
The Sydney Gazette of 21st July, 1821 wrote a colourful story of James's confrontation with some escaped convicts who favoured as a hiding place the heavily timbered and sparsely settled district of Pennant Hills. The report told how James Bellamy and his 16-year-old brother, with another lad, went kangaroo-shooting in Pennant Hills. They were surprised near a settler's house by the barking of dogs, and three bushrangers, named, Butter, and Geary, confronted them, then turned to run. Bellamy commanded Butler to stop, but the latter turned and drew his gun on Bellamy who immediately shot Butler dead. The verdict of the ensuing Court case was that of justifiable homicide. During the trial James Bellamy told how these escaped convicts had earlier taken from his home a musket, a bayonet, a cutlass, and powder-horn.
James Bellamy was appointed an Inspector or Special Constable, and was reputed to have built a small stone outhouse near his home to do duty as a temporary gaol until the authorities came to take off the prisoners. One convict who had been leg-ironed after an earlier escape attempt was found by Bellamy. hiding in a cave in thick bush in the present-day Beecroft area. As the man ran off, Bellamy shot him dead.
James and Hannah built a stone house on Castle Hill Road near the present Coonara Ave. On this farm he planted orchards and ran horses and cows. They had four sons and ten daughters. The sons were: William (b. 1823) who lived at Wollombi and later went further north to the Clarence River cedar-cutting; James (b. 1836) who married twice and fathered 21 children. He lived on the site of the present Pennant Hills Infants' School. Another son was Joseph (b. 1840). He married Emma Diplock from Wollombi. They lived in Aiken Road. Then there was Zadok (b. 1843) who married Miriam Moore of Castle Hill. Zadok and Miriam had 15 children and lived with James, senr., in his old age.
The nine girls who lived to adulthood married neighbouring farmers or settlers at Wollombi where their father had several small properties, and where the family spent part of their time. These small farms owned by James Bellamy (sen) around Wattagan Creek were rich pasture lands, good for pig-raising. James used to drive herds of these pigs to the markets in Sydney, taking four or five days for the journey. These particular pigs were docile whilst being driven, showed no inclination to wander, and every night of the journey would contentedly lie around the fire with the men.
James bought much land around Pennant Hills, one acquisition being the 60-acre property originally granted to James Reynolds on New Line Road. This land James gave to his daughter Sarah when she married James Allen in 1855. James Bellamy held 60 acres near the present Hornsby Station, another block adjacent to his father's, and a 60acre one next to his brother John's. These three blocks were sold in 1838.
When the Thorn estate of Pennant Hills was subdivided and put up for sale in 1856, James bought the whole property for 900 pound, and divided it between his son James jun. and four of the married daughters ... Martha Stevens, Charlotte Buckman, Caroline McMullin and Hannah Aiken.
The 'Bellamy's Farm' of his parents he divided in 1862 between his son Joseph, who was given the 70 acres north of the road running across it (i.e. Aiken Road), and his daughter Mary Ann Shields who was given the 30 acres south of the road.
James Bellamy became a wealthy man - his goods (excluding land) were valued for probate at 600 pounds in 1875 - but details of how he came to do so well are not recorded. Orchards and pigraising brought in only a moderate income; his buying and selling of land probably was a good source of profit. Another possibility is an income from horse-breeding. He advertised in the Sydney Gazette of 18th September, 1826 that he had a blood horse 'Nelson' to stand at stud. Horses are itemised in his Will, made in 1871, and his land running down the slope from Castle Hill Road was adjacent to that of Henry Curtis. Here, in the 20th century, race-horses were bred and trained for many years.
Horses for work were an essential part of any farming community: in 1806 a report had been made on the Colony's 552 horses. The importation of a few English horses into the original stock from the Cape of' Good Hope and India had resulted in a much larger horse, well adapted to the climate. 'The horses bred in the settlement have generally been found far superior to the original stock, both in strength and beauty.... there is every prospect of an excellent breed.'
Horse-racing began early in the district: the Cumberland Times of 10 January, 1846 ran a notice of races at Baulkham Hills 'for any horse in the district, except Toby and St. John; twice around the course and a distance-, heats-, weight not under 8- stone'. On 11 th April, 1846 the same paper reported the result of a race between Mr. Pye's 'Toby' and Mr. Best's 'St. John , (apparently the district champions); Toby won a hundred pounds for running 3 miles in 5 minutes 30 seconds at Coulton's Course.
Hannah Bellamy died in 1869 and James had a vestry added on to St. Pauls, Castle Hill, in her memory. Two years later, 18th July, 1871, James, aged 73, married a young woman, Martha Martin (b. 1845). She was the daughter of Frank Spencer and Amelia Martin. Amelia later married Richard Bowerman, and their daughter, Susannah (b. 1850) who was Martha Bellamy's half-sister, married James Bellamy jnr. (as his second wife) in 1875. Two daughters were born of the second marriage of James Bellamy sen.... Alberta Amelia (b. 1873) and Florence Matilda (b. 1874). James died on 6th March, 1875 and was buried in St. Paul's alongside Hannah. His young widow took her daughters to live in Factory Street, Parramatta, where she worked as a midwife for many years. She looked after State Wards along with her own family"
