Joseph was a shepherd to the Hardy's who, with the Clarksons, had chartered the ship for the journey. The Hardy family were allotted land on what is now known as the Maylands Peninsula on the Swan River. Joseph probably stayed with the Hardy's for approx. 1 year. Joseph was granted Perth Lot N4 (where the Red Cross is located now) in 1833. Joseph, it would seem was paid 1/3 portion of 200 acres in land at South Perth, in return for building a house for Louis De Mayo, a boatman of Perth. He is registered as being a Thatcher (memorial no 424 registered 20 July 1836). The document registered is 803, 22 June 1839, in which Joseph and his wife Hannah sold Perth Building Lot F12 (near the corner of Hay and William Streets - North side) to George Shenton, Chemist and Druggist for the sum of one hundred pounds sterling. Joseph died in South Perth of Carcinoma - on 31 August 1847 (D/Cert. 273 - no age stated). Hannah died in Perth on 14 May 1850 at the age of 64 years; this would put her birth date around 1786. William his son, in his early days is hard to follow. It appears he may have owned Town Lot 9 in Geraldton. In his obituary in the Beverley Times it states the family were in the Beverley area in the early 1840's. William married Ann Fraser, of St Aubins, a property southeast of the present township in St Pauls Church in what was to be the original town of Beverley on the 30 June 1867. Ann Fraser was born 2 August 1831 in Morayshire Scotland. William and Ann had the original farming land approx one and a half miles east of the present town and known as Springfield (this property stayed in the family until 1950). William and Ann had a daughter Mary Ann born 1867 and a son Joseph born 26 February 1872. William died 24 Dec 1901 at East Fremantle and is buried Fremantle cemetery plot 814. Ann died in Beverley on 29 April 1910 and is buried in the Anglican cemetery Beverley.
