Father and children appear on the September 1829 Muster. William Henry Rosevear arrived in Van Diemens Land from the Colony at Swan River with his four of his children in 1829. He married for a second time to Mary Burton on 19 November 1829 in Hobart, Van Diemens Land. He had spent most of his working life as a farmer in Cornwall, England, and, in view of his experience on the land, was granted 640 acres (256 hectares) in the West Tamar. He was granted a further 430 acres (172 hectares) 10 years later in 1839. The land was used for orcharding and other agricultural pursuits. Rosevear was also a publican, holding the licence of the Half Way House between 1833 and 1834, and was listed as the licencee of the Rose Inn in 1835 and again between 1848 and 1851. The Rose Inn was first licensed in 1831 and trades today as the Rosevear Waterfront Tavern. Sections of the interior retain the original brickwork. Rosevear described himself in the census of 1848 as being in the "Landed Proprietors, Merchants, Bankers and Professional persons class". William died in 1860, aged 73 at Launceston, Tasmania and Mary (Burton) Rosevear died in 1869.
