All three brothers had passed through some study for the medical profession, but only one of them followed that calling and he was a a well-known and respected member of it, practising at Angaston. Of the three George 'died many years ago' and Henry died at Angaston. Thomas left the land and for a time and followed the sea as a ship's carpenter in a vessel trading between Tasmania and New Zealand.
