He was also granted land at Northam to farm which he lost because of lack of development. Their youngest son Jacob died aged 16 months in 1830. Their daughter Sarah Anne married at Perth to Benjamin Bristow Ranford. Abraham died 16 July 1858 at Perth. Susannah died 24 November 1863. They are both buried in East Perth Cemetery.
