## Timeline
- 3 SEP 1840 — **Born** at Narellan, New South Wales, Australia — Born at the Cowpastures, in the Camden district - the old name for the country about Camden and Narellan, where her parents were living when her mother died two years later.
- 1923 — **Died** — Registered in the Taree district in 1923, NSW 18890/1923; her obituary followed in The Methodist on 5 January 1924. The historical index publishes the year only, so no day or month is known, and no place is recorded because a registration district is not a place of death.
- **Residence** at Oxley Island, New South Wales, Australia — Oxley Island and Jones' Island on the Manning River: she came there from the Hunter with her parents when the island 'was then all wild bush', married there, and was still attending a Methodist class on Jones' Island as a young woman.
- **Religion** — Methodist - converted at twelve in a camp meeting on the Hunter River, and a lifelong member of the Methodist Church on the Manning.
