Notes
General:
From 'The Howells of Castlereagh' Penrith & Thereabouts, Vol 12 April 1996 pp4-6
Abt 1834 bought a farm at Castlereagh now known as 'Princes Farm' directly behind Council Chambers. He constructed a flour mill on the river which operated until the great flood of 1867 which washed it away. His brothers Thomas and Vincent also had mills on the river which were also washed away- Vincent and his family were killed in the flood. Thomas and his family moved to Eugowra and Forbes. In 1836 Peter married Elizabeth Kennedy in St Marys Catholic Church in Sydney. They had 8 children
(Doc 11) This contradicts the information in the Pioneer Register for Hawkesbury which shows that Vincent died in 1855 in Newtown
