Other Events and Attributes:

1820 Lineage: Yes
Occupation: Half Way Bush; a Farmer

Notes:

[extract from pages 91 & 92 - "The Tarrs of Rokewood"]
"Thomas "By Jingo" and Mary TARR
According to one of his descendants, "this is the name we always revered as the gambler and 'wild one' with stories of him riding a horse through a butcher shop and coming out festooned with sausages. He then proceeded up towards where Rhodes University now stands and galloped his horse full tilt through the Drostdy archway. The police could not stop him so they erected a barrier pole across the arch at a point where, at the crucial moment he would be unable to stop! His momentum was, therefore arrested in more ways than one ..."

Thomas farmed at Clumber, having inherited the original Settler farm from his father. Before this, he had bought the neighbouring farm, allotment No. 26 orginally granted to Samuel JACKSON. He bought the farm in 1852 from Frances HULLEY for [Pounds]150. This was identical in size to Rokewood, so when his father died in 1858 he farmed both allotments. Rokewood was left to his son Herbert. At the stage of drawing up the Will in July 1890,
Thomas and Mary had made a proviso that their two, then unmarried daughters, Ada Eliza and Fanny May should have the right to reside in the residence and "to have use and occupation of one bedroom each with right of use of sitting room". However, the daughters married and a codicil to the Will, four years later, required Herbert to pay [Pounds]150 for the farm, which amount would then devolve upon the surviving daughters. As some stage, one of the farms was named Mount Pleasant.

Thomas also bought a larger farm in 1874 from George WOOD. According to their Will, it was "the location calles Austens Grant or otherwise The Clay Pits". This was 254 morgen and Thomas paid [Pounds]508 for it. On Thomas' death, this farm was left in equal shares to Reuben, Thomas Henry and Herbert. Eventually the brothers sold their shares to Reuben, who owned it until 1909 when it was sold out of his insolvent estate."
