Colstoun


From Gwen Broun:
He named his property "Colstoun". When in Danmark John and his wife Charlotte lived in great splendor, entertaining King Christian on many occasions. They made a lot of money out of indigo plantationsuntil a chemical dye was invented and the market dried up. It was then that John decided to come to Australia with his family. He chartered the ship "Marquis of Hastings" and brought his wife and ninechildren, two servants, and all his household furniture and treasures. He was then 51 years of age and when they arrived in Sydney he was able to get a nice home on the banks of the river at Parramatta where they lived while he looked for a suitable property to buy. He found it in the Upper Patterson Valley and called it "Colstoun" and took his family to live there. They lived there happily until1860 when John became ill and returned to Parramatta. His son-in-law Dr Walter Brown cared for him at Brislingtonuntil his death. He is buried at St John's where a plaque was placed in his memory.
