Maria DONOVAN [17835]

  Research Notes:

Written by Maria's son Henry James Thurlow, 3 Feb 1874, a search was on for a descendant to inherit.
"In the year 1864, the time of my father's death, I know not who was in possession of the 'Antigua' estate. The original parties who were in possession of the property was named Donovans, my mother's brothers; but I cannot say how long they may have been dead. It would be no harm to search back as far as the year 1860. My father died in Sydney, December 18, 1864."
