"Kelton"-----Longford
Home of Lillie Adeline Lucas's family. (This article was sent to me and I have included it for all to read, this article was researched by Katherine Howard - early 1990's.
References to notes - Faye Beswick. Slightly altered by June Dark.
The history of "Kelton" goes back some two hundred years to England.
Nathaniel Lucas [1764-1818] was born the son of Thomas Lucas of Thames Ditton Kingston, Surrey.
He became a joiner and carpenter and his arrival in Australia was determined by a crime he committed in 1784. While living on Red Lion Street, London, Nathaniel Lucas stole linen worth two pounds from a neighbouring inn. On the 7th July 1784 he was tried at the Old Bailey and sentenced to seven years transportation. After spending some time in the prison hulks he was transported to Port Jackson on the "Scarborough" of the First Fleet arriving in Australia 26th January 1788.
At Port Jackson he was chosen in a group of convicts selected for their character to pioneer Norfolk Island. His occupation as carpenter and joiner would also have been an asset in the beginnings of a new colony. It was on Norfolk that he married Olivia Gascoigne [Gascoyne] (they met on the "Supply" on the journey over to Norfolk) Olivia who was also a convict of the selected group who arrived on the "Lady Penhryn" in the First Fleet on 26th January 1788.
In 1791 three years after their arrival on the Island, Nathaniel was given a grant of 15 acres which he farmed prosperously as there are records of him having sold his produce to the government. In 1793 he purchased an additional sixty acres from Charles Heritage. He worked on the Island as a successful carpenter and in June 1795 he succeeded William Peate as master carpenter.
While on Norfolk Island, Nathaniel and Olivia produced eleven children, of which twins were killed on the island by a falling tree. [Refer to Nathaniel's letter he wrote home to London to tell his father].
In 1805 he and his remaining family returned to Sydney where Nathaniel became a private builder. They also produced two more children in Sydney.
In 1805 after the rebellion against Bligh, Nathaniel Lucas was appointed as superintendent of carpenters.
In 1818 he became master carpenter under Francis Greenway. It was while he was working under Greenway that Nathaniel built St. Luke's Church in Liverpool. [He actually only started the building.] However, Lucas and Greenway had a disagreement over workmanship as Nathaniel was of the "Old School" and Greenway had newer ideas. (Greenway was also a very unreasonable man.) [read the article on this site on Greenway].
It is believed that Nathaniel had cancer of the mouth and was using alcohol as an analgesic. Nathaniel and Greenway argued at the laying of the Foundation Stone at St. Luke's Church and days later Nathaniel was found drowned in the George's River. It is thought he committed suicide but Olivia maintained Greenway was responsible. His body was found on the 5th May 1818 by two of his sons who had gone searching for him. It should be noted that Nathaniel had not had a problem with alcohol in the past.
In 1818 his wife, Olivia with seven of their children [Sarah, Mary, George, Charles, Thomas, Nathaniel Jnr. and William] sailed to Port Dalyrymple in Northern Tasmania on the "John Palmer".
Two of the seven children made quite a name for themselves in carpentry and building. The Lucas brothers [William and Nathaniel Jnr.] are believed to have built a goal, a windmill and a chapel at Port Dalyrymple. They also offered to enlarge and refit a chapel in Launceston for a grant of 300 acres each. It is known that William and Nathaniel Jnr. erected the first windmill on Windmill Hill, Launceston for the Towes Brothers in 1826. The windmill no longer exists; however, a pencil sketch by Lieutenant Lyttleton was obtained from the Mayor's Valedictory Address of 1967.
Nathaniel Jnr. and William in partnership with Charles Williams [brother-in-law - married Anne Lucas] built the schooner "Olivia" which was running in the wheat trade between Launceston and Sydney for some years. They also built another schooner "Contest" in 1828. While this was taking place their mother Olivia was granted 100 acres near Trevallyn. Another of the children George had some land allocated to him in 1820 between Longford and Cressy. This was the original property "Kelton".
In 1823 George Lucas married Elizabeth Hodgetts. They built a small weatherboard cottage on the property which now consisted of 260 acres on which he ran 21 cattle, no sheep, 2 horses and had 75 acres sown with crop. George and Elizabeth had eight children on the property, all of which they housed in the tiny cottage along with two servants.
The children were - Elizabeth, George, Thomas, John, Daniel, Charles, Adelaide and Edward George Lucas Jnr. was killed in 1858 while getting out of his cart. He fell and the horses shied, causing the wheels to run over his head killing him instantly. An inquest was held on 27th September 1858, two days after his death.
In 1831 George Lucas applied for an extra grant of land. In was given to him and he began excavating the cellar of his permanent home, which is still standing today. The weatherboard house remained on the property until it collapsed in the early 1930's. All that remains today is a solitary foundation stone.
In 1845 "Kelton" was robbed by the bushranger called Priest. On 2nd July Priest hid himself in the cellar and that night he replenished his food supply from the store room, near the cellar. Priest a few months later accidentally shot himself in the foot and gave himself up to Longford Police. He was sentenced to death but was eventually transported to Norfolk Island for ten years.
The permanent home on "Kelton" was built with hand made nails and locally made bricks. It had a Georgian front with a cedar door. A front bedroom and veranda were added in later years, which spoiled the original design somewhat. The cellar was used as a dairy. Water was supplied to the homestead by two deep wells and windmills.
George Lucas died of natural causes in 1868 and the property was passed on to Edward [George's youngest brother]. It was then comprised of 303 acres of good agricultural land.
Edward Lucas married Elizabeth Purfet daughter of Sam Purfet at Longford in 1887. It is assumed they had no children as they married late in life and no Lucas record was found beyond them.
In 1900 Elizabeth Lucas [nee Purfet] was killed in Longford. She was thrown out of her trap whilst driving past the present site of the Longford Library, when the harness broke and the horse shied. Edward Lucas was heartbroken by her death and could not face managing "Kelton" alone.
In 1901 he sold the property to Albert and Elspeth Walker for 3624 pounds and retired to Longford. The conveyance document is dated the 7th April 1902 which was the date when all transactions were completed.
In 1903 Edward Lucas died. He was buried with his wife in Longford Anglican Churchyard. | Lucas, Nathanial (I37)

"Maleny Matriarch' is farewelled"
Written by Administrator
Thursday, 06 September 2007
Last Friday Maleny farewelled the “Maleny Matriarch” Peg Burnett, who was not only a grand lady but one of the “true locals” pf the hinterland town. This is an edited version of the eulogy delivered by her son David Burnett last Friday to an overflowing St George’s Anglican Church Maleny. The service was conducted by the Rev Ingrid Busk. Peg Burnett, who died on August 26, was born Margaret Wiley McLean at the family home “Fassifern” in Cedar Street Maleny on March 14, 1915 and for the next 92 ½ years was a joy and inspiration, and sometimes frustration to the many people who came into Peg’s life. She was the eldest of the eight children of Andrew and Frances Jane (Wiley) McLean, three sisters, Clare, Rita and Judith and four brothers, Bill, Ian, Robert and Peter – today four of these siblings, Rita, Bob, Judy and Peter are with us. Peg began her schooling at the Maleny Primary School by which time the family had moved from Cedar Street to the residence above their Bakery and Café in Maple Street, the site of the present Medical Centre. In her Sub-Senior year the position of Maleny’s first librarian arose and her mother felt this was a wonderful opportunity for her, so she returned to train as a librarian. Peg, as we know, was an avid reader from classics to pulp romance and if her love of reading did not begin here, it was certainly nurtured by her library work. Holidays at Caloundra at her father’s shack in Lower Gay Terrace, with her friends and her sister’s friends was a source of many happy memories. These holidays continued after she was married and, when her parents had retired and built their home there, they were great gatherings of the extended Wiley clan. Rixson Burnett returned to Maleny in 1930 after secondary schooling in Gympie and studying accountancy and working in Brisbane, to manage the Maleny Hotel for his parents. Roller-skating in the show pavilion was a popular pastime. Family folklore has it that Peg knocked Rix over with her skating and cut his hand. She used her handkerchief to tend the wound and then later he, of course, had to return the handkerchief. And so they played golf and went riding together. Peg 24 and Rix were married on May 2, 1939 – two days before Rix’s 30th birthday. It was the first wedding in the new Presbyterian Church in Cedar Street Maleny. Peg’s bouquet was of blue orchids, which Rix had grown, to match her blue and white organza-wedding frock. Bridesmaids were in varying shades of blue. The reception was at the School of Arts. Peg and Rix moved into their new home beside the hotel, where they lived for many, many years. Peg and Rix had four children Margaret, David, Jenny and Ricky. Peg was immensely proud of all her children and their families and we can all recall being told of their achievements, but, though those various achievements were different, they were her offspring and that was all that mattered to her and she wanted to share that with all of us. Recently Ricky’s Order of Australia Award was a great source of joy to Peg. Peg always looked lovely! That in no small measure to Jenny’s discerning eye; she found much pleasure in taking her mother shopping and Peg loved going shopping. We all know how well Peg adjusted to her life after Rix’s death 20 years ago. It fell to David, as the only son to provide valuable support. Peg was wonderful with her grandchildren, able to communicate easily with them and the affection they all held for Nan, testifies to this. When the hotel was sold, Rix turned his attention to farming and later was elected to the Landsborough shire council and served an unbroken term of 27 years. In November 2003, Peg made the hard decision to leave Maleny and move to Caloundra Rise Retirement Estate. Following the funeral held by Gregson and Weight, Caloundra, many relatives and friends filled the Maleny RSL hall to celebrate Peg’s life. | McLean, Margaret Wiley (Peggy) (I3138)

'Mrs. Sophia Margaret Mowle, widow of Mr. Stewart M. Mowle, whose death was announced on Saturday at the age of 82 years, was the sixth daughter of the late Rev. William West Simpson, M.A. She arrived in the colony with her family in 1840, at the age of 6 years, the voyage being made in the ship Earl Gray, and occupied many weary months. She lived for about two years at The King's School, Parramatta, where her father was acting as headmaster during the absence in England of the Rev. Dr. Forrest. Subsequently, in 1843, the family moved to Wiseman's Ferry, where Mr. Simpson was rector of the parish for about 10 years. Upon Mr. Simpson finding the work beyond him the family was transferred in the old King William IV. to Dapto. Here the late Mrs. Mowle was associated with the work of her father's parish. She was married in 1865, and in the early 'Seventies found opportunity for philanthropic labours amongst the sick and poor at Randwick, where she re- sided. Doctors were few and far between, and trained nurses almost unknown. Up to the day before her death she was engaged on garments for the Children's Hospital. She was in full possession of every faculty, and read and sewed without glasses, and she took an active interest in everything around her.
