Provenance

Arrangement

This list was made in October/November 1993 by Barbara Ross and supersedes all other lists. It lists the material exactly as it was found by her in the boxes at that date and reproduces the number identifications - file 1, 2, Plastic Bag A, B etc. - as put there previously. Because of numerous attempts at sorting, the lists previously made bore little or no relation to the actual contents of the boxes as they stood in October 1993.

Biographical Note

William Pitt Faithfull (1806-1896), pastoralist, was the eldest son of William Faithfull (1774-1847). He acquired a grant of land near Goulburn in 1828 and founded the Springfield stud, breeding merino sheep. Springfield is claimed to be the oldest registered merino flock in Australia in the possession of the one family.

In 1844 William Pitt Faithfull married Mary, daughter of Thomas Deane and they had nine children, including George Ernest (1846-1910) and Reginald (1850-1992). Springfield was left to their youngest son, Augustus Lucian (1855-1942), and later passed on to Lucian's daughter, Florence who married Irwin Maple-Brown (1899-). Jim Maple-Brown is the current owner.

E.R. Deane was the nephew of Mary Deane who married William Pitt Faithfull.
