    Notes:

    (Research):Sampson Brown
    Sampson Brown selected his portion on 21 Mar 1880. His selection 1322 ( not 1332 as most documents incorrectly state) of 330 acres. It was next to Joseph MCCarthy on (the now) Stanley River Rd. He was born in Cambridgeshire England. His soujourn before arriving on the Blackall Range was via Brisbane, Seedy Creek, Broadwater, Redland Bay (then Priests Gully), Eight Mile Plains, Blackall Range. He went to finally live in Woodford. He arrived in Brisbane by the ship "Callet" on 3rd March 1873 after a voyage of 90 days. He had only 1 pound ($2) in his pocket. Sampson married Lydia Potter, daughter of James Potter (not Patten) of West Wratting, England and they had two sons and five daughters. After Lydia died he remarried Fanny Jane Goodman by whom he had one daughter and two sons. He cut a path through the standing scrub with his own hands to his selection and built a 3 bedroom house of cherrywood. He was a very strong man who was able to hump a 200lb bag of flour from Bald Knob to his selection at Wootha, a distance of 7 miles (11+ kms). With sturdy spirit he wrested a livelihood from the virgin bush under extreme hardship to contribute to the establishment of Maleny. Tragedy stuck the Brown family as it did many of our pioneers. His daughter Louisa from his first marriage died 3 June 1883 age 2 years of inflammation of the lungs lasting 9 days. She was born at Eight Mile Plains. She was buried in Reserve 138 Gympie Rd, Mellum Creek (Landsborough), believed to be the first burial in this reserve. (Other records say Obi Park).
