PIONEER FAMILY.
Death of Descendant of Early Colonists.
The Sydney Morning Herald, Wednesday 4th July 1934
The death occurred at Pymble on Sunday of Mrs. T. H. Wright-Jackson, who was a granddaughter of one of the first children born in the new colony of New South Wales Mrs. Wright-Jackson, before her marriage, was Miss Teale, a well-known headmistress
of State schools.
Mrs. Wright-Jackson was a great-grand- daughter of John and Susannah Kable, who arrived as free settlers with Governor Phillip in 1788, and who were married in the open air at Sydney Cove soon after landing. Their daughter, Diana (one of the first children born in the new colony and to whom the Governor made an extensive land grant on that account), was married to John Teale, the first miller at Windsor. The old mill was convict-built, and was worked by 48 horses in shifts of 16 and with the aid of 50 convicts.
Mrs. Wright-Jackson's father, Henry (a younger son of John Teale), was in charge of the party which went overland with the first mob of cattle from New England to Adelaide, and he was also present at the Eureka stockade riot.
On her mother's side, Mrs. Wright-Jackson's great-grandmother was one of the earliest Hawkesbury settlers, and portion of the old home in which she was born still stands on land which was granted as a refuge for settlers on the lowlands in times of flood, which, in those early days, devastated many miles of farming lands on the Hawkesbury.
Mrs. Wright-Jackson was headmistress at Orange and Bathurst, and retired from a similar position at Blackfriars on her marriage in 1886. She was esteemed in the Pymble district for her philanthropic and church work. She is survived by her husband and two daughters.

MOTORING NEWS
Thursday 14th February 1929
AUSTRALIAN MORRIS - THE 14 hp Cowley tested ON PYMBLE HILL
From a standing start the car quickly got into top gear, and ascended the easy grades of Burns Bay-road and along the Gordon
road to Pymble, where the next test hill was found.
Pymble Hill is historic as having been the testing place where the ability of the first car imported into Sydney was demonstrated, and it is still a good one, although not nearly as severe as it was for the cars of a quarter of a century ago.
Today it is more a test of the picking-up power of the engine, as there is an S-bend over a railway bridge at the beginning of the steepest part. The car was climbing very strongly in top gear until blocked by other traffic, and a change to second gear had hastily to be made.
For the rest of the afternoon there was little incident, the car proving, itself tractable and powerful enough to negotiate
everything in top gear until on the return journey another essay was made at the climb up the steepest hill In Baulkham Hills. This
unfortunately was spoiled when going very well by exhaustion of petrol.
A photograph of a 1929 Morris Cowley can be seen here

The skeleton of Frederick Bromley, about 50, was found yesterday, a year after the man was reported missing.
Mr. Albert Hamley, of Eucalyptus Street, St. Ives was walking through the bush near his home when he found the skeleton in burnt-out scrub.
Bromley's son, Colin Bromley, of Gilroy Avenue, Turramurra, identified the skeleton from the teeth and parts of the trousers.
The dead man's home was a shack in bush near St. Ives.
Police said they were satisfied that Bromley's death was from natural causes.
