Archival History

Biographical / Historical

Three of the sons of William Leslie, 9th Laird of Warthill, (1770-1857) and his wife, Jane Davidson-Patrick, (1815-1881) Walter, and George, (1820-1860) emigrated to Australia in the 1830's. Three hundred and thirty four of their letters to their parents are in the Oxley Memorial Library, Brisbane, and were used by K G T Waller for his BA Hons thesis The letters of the Leslie brothers in Australia, 1834-1854. Queensland University. 1956.

Patrick Leslie arrived at Sydney in 1835 and in 1836 went to manage his uncle; W S Davidson's property at Collaroi. In 1839 his brothers arrived and they set up their own sheep station on the Darling Downs at Canning Downs. In 1840 he married Catherine Macarthur. At first the property didn't flourish and Patrick was also indebted to his uncle. His brothers took over sole running of Canning Downs, and Patrick moved to Brisbane. He later sold out, firstly returning to Britain, then settling in New Zealand. In 1879 he returned to Milson's Point, Sydney where he died in 1881.

Richard Jones, 1786-1852, was one of the foremost pasturalists and merchants in NSW. He arrived at Sydney in 1809 and set up as a merchant. In 1818 he went to China, where he joined forces with W S Davidson. In 1825 he introduced Saxon sheep to NSW in partnership with Davidson. In spite of his vast land holdings Jones still ran a merchant house and had several maritime and whaling interests. He was an active member of the Legislative Council from 1829 to 1843, a magistrate and leading public figure.

Walter Stevenson Davidson, 1785-1869 was a landowner and merchant. He arrived in Sydney in June 1805 and was granted 2000 acres in Cowpastures. In October 1807 he visited China and India where he assembled a cargo for John Macarthur, Robert Campbell and Garnham Blaxcell. In March 1809 he left for London, and didn't return to Australia, although retaining his Australian business interests. Richard Jones became his agent and managed his Collaroi property. In 1836 he entrusted this property to Patrick Leslie, whose activities there became a source of dispute between the two families for many years.
