Alexander Fraser - Postmaster

John Alexander Fraser on 15th December, 2011 wrote:

On arrival in Australia he was assigned Rev Henry Fulton at his Church at Castlereagh where he was employed at his Glebe Schoolhouse. In 1827 he married Henry Fulton’s daughter Lydia, & they had 10 children & lived a a small farmer (60 acres nearby). Alexander became the Clerk of the Court in Penrith Courthouse as well as the first Postmaster. He was secretary of the Bridge Building Committee thyat built the first bridge over the Hawkesbury River & also secretary of the MUIIOF (Odd Fellows Lodge) which assisted with the medical work in the district. His parents were James Fraser & Magdelina Anderson of Edinburgh & he had an elder brother, John. FRom what I can gather his father died in 1709 & his mother in 1818. One of Alexnder’s daughters, Magdelina, died aged 5 in 1845 while all but one of the other children married. There is much more, of course, if you wish to use it. Regards, John Fraser
