Email from Gail Wallace to Alexander John McKinlay (McKInlay-576) on 12 April 2010:

Abraham was the son of Mary Ann Glover who was unmarried at the time of his birth. Mary was apprenticed to William Pridham of Parkham at the age of 14. She was discharged from his service aged 20 for "being pregnant with a bastard child and rendered incapable of his service".

Abraham himself was apprenticed to the Ching Family in Bideford at the age of 9. The Chings were benefactors in the town and took care of many children like Abraham. He married Anne and they sailed to Hobart on the Duchess of Northumberland arriving in 1854. Their daughter Rebecca, aged 2, died at sea. Ann gave birth to their son just after arriving.

They worked at a property called Douglas Park, near Campbelltown but left after 18 months to move to Melbourne.

Members of the Ching family also migrated to Victoria. Abraham & Ann had a farm near Wollert, north of Melbourne. When Abraham died at aged 76 (a tree branch fell on him), he had 78 grandchildren from his and Ann's eleven children. Emma Glover was one of those children.

Shirley Pitcher [nee Anderson] wrote to Alexander John McKinlay (in March 2011): I think two of Emma (1869-1906)’s sisters married two brothers – Patullos, who farmed in the Lang Lang area. My father had very kindly memories of his Patullo aunts, uncles and cousins, but after his return from WWI, there were fewer and fewer opportunities to make his way out to see them. My arrival in 1922, plus the Sunday Country and Suburban Rail Timetables, may have had something to do with this. The Patullos settled out in the Epping Area, in the same district where Abraham Glover and his family made their dairy farm. In the street directory I brought over from Melbourne, now probably 20 years old, there are roads/lanes named for Glover and Patullo in that area. Two of Emma’s brothers worked as bullock drovers during the draining of the Koo-Wee-Rup swamp (bullock drovers and their teams laid the corduroy roads and placed the bridges over the creeks). They were amongst the first selectors in that area of South Gippsland - their brothers in law probably joined them?
