Misc. Notes
Arrived Hobart 1804 on board Calcutta as free settler ('Musters of Free Men & Women, HobartTown 1822' = MFMW) - listed in MFMW with no children. [719]
There is a problem with Frederick's parents names. On his baptismal cert the parents are listed as Joseph Paterson and Elizabeth Roberts. However, in the Historical Records of Australia there are a series of letters by a William Paterson re a dispute over land in Hobart Town. One of these letters lists the names and birthdates of the children - and the information in this list is TOO close to the baptismal records for the children not to be the same ones. Also in these letters, the only mention of the mother's name is 'Elisabeth'...which fits with the baptism records. (all the William information has been provided by Bill Mirams). Also, the letters in the Historical Records of Australia indicate that there was one child, Frederick Jonathon David, and not two separate children, Frederick and Jonathon David (as indicated by the baptism records).
Received grant of 60 acres in York district in July 1828.
Operated the "Whaler's Return" and "New Wharf Wine Vaults" taverns. [693]
