  • Notes 
    • It is uncertain whether his first wife Mary was a spinster at the time of their marriage or if she was a widow, as she was some 22 years older than Din.
      They were apparently quite happily manied for some 34 years. Mary was about 48 when they married, so understandably, this couple had no children.
      Din married his second wife when he was 60.
      His second wife Ellen became ill and died shortly after their marriage and died less than a year later of heart disease.
      When Din married the third time he was 6'7, and Margaret was 37.
      Despite his rather advanced age, this couple had three children, only one of whom survived to adulthood.

      Big Din farmed a total of 200 acres at Con 3, lots 24 & 25 . He purchased the land at Con 3 Lot 24 on 12 Jan 1856.
      The land at Con 3 Lot 25 was passed to him by his father.
      Din's interment record shows that his funeral was attended by nephews Denis & Daniel Callaghan, William Callaghan, and many others.
      He was buried 02 Feb 1907 , Marysville . They had three children
