6	6998/1976 MOYSEY ANNE JACK CLARKE Annie Moysey (c.1870-1970), known as Granny Moysey, was a famous Aboriginal woman who, with horse and sulky, goats, and a fishing boat travelled along the Darling River with her younger kin for many years. Moysey, Annie (1875–1976) by Bobbie Hardy This article was published in Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 15, (MUP), 2000 Annie Moysey (d.1976), Aboriginal matriarch, was born probably in the 1870s near the junction of the Warrego and Darling rivers, New South Wales, daughter of Tom Kega, a European labourer, and a Gunu mother who died soon afterwards. The Gunu were a northern affiliation of the Barkindji tribes. Although Annie and her sisters were reared by their Gunu grandmother among the 'station blacks', they became deeply versed in tribal lore. While travelling, sometimes far to the north and west, Annie learned several Aboriginal languages. English, necessary only for communicating with the Whites, was of secondary importance: 'Barkindji's our lingo so we'll use it'. If the youthful Annie's performance of the 'garombarn' (quivering of the legs) enlivened tribal dancing, she needed all her strength and vitality for the long years of toil that followed, mostly as sole provider for an ever-growing family. Her first husband Norman Clark did not help in raising their children, or the other children who came to her camp; her heart went out to any homeless child, whether her own kin or not. A river steamer abandoned near Louth made a roomy houseboat. The family fished from a bark canoe, kept goats for milk and meat, hunted, and gathered wild food in the bush. With her wagonette and horses, Annie worked on Toorale and other stations to earn money for their additional needs. About 1920, a shortage of rural employment apparently forced Annie to take the children downriver to the Pooncarie Aboriginal reserve. To ensure her independence, she set up camp beyond its borders. A former Pooncarie nurse recalled her as a 'splendid woman' who worked tirelessly to make a decent living for her children. Moving to Wilcannia, Annie claimed to be aged 45 when she married Leonard Alfred Moysey, a 25-year-old European labourer, on 11 October 1930 at St James's Anglican Church, Wilcannia. Throughout the Depression years and onwards she remained the chief breadwinner. They transferred to the Menindee Mission Station in 1933, but had returned to Wilcannia by 1939. Still active and hard-working, Annie was a forceful and outspoken member of a community that included her sisters, some of her own married children and numerous other relations. Again widowed, and growing old, she became known as 'Grannie Moysey', and was revered—and also feared—as a matriarch and keeper of the tribal laws which were sadly neglected, especially by the younger generation. If her verbal chastisement missed its mark, she gave a 'walloping' with her walking-stick. She was believed to have knowledge of the occult mysteries of the 'mekigar' (Barkindji witch doctor) and on one occasion helped the victim of a lightning strike to regain his consciousness and vision. Anthropologists, linguists and historians consulted her intermittently. Late in life Grannie Moysey was to be seen seated on the shady veranda of the Wilcannia and District Hospital, smoking her trusty pipe. She died on 2 February 1976 in that hospital and was buried with Catholic rites in Wilcannia cemetery; four sons and eight daughters survived her.	Annie (Granny Moysey) (P457)

History & Achievements : Life in Australia: When the Queen arrived in Sydney on 26 September 1791 with the first shipment of Irish convicts, on board was Robert Higgins from Wiltshire, England. He was aged 29 and was a soldier in the 102nd of Foot Regiment. With previous military experience, he had enlisted in Major Grose's newly formed NSW Corps, on the 3 February 1791. The Queen was part of the Third Fleet of eleven ships that had left England early that year and arrived between July and October. Under the command of Richard Owens, the Queen was a ship of 400 tons, and after taking aboard 175 male convicts, and 25 female convicts, she sailed from Cork in April 1791. The ship arrived in Sydney after seven deaths during the voyage, the survivors emaciated and complaining that they had not received their proper allowance of provisions. An enquiry later found that the second mate, Robert Stott had cut back the convicts rations of dried fish and beef, but no action was taken by the British authorities as they did not want to discredit the transportation system. The NSW Corps were to replace the Royal Marines who had accompanied Governor Phillip on the First Fleet, and who objected to supervising convicts, and being part of the civil administration. This was to be the new regiments primary role. They supervised the convicts on public works and guarded them in transit within the colony. They also provided guards for Government House; the Court House and the Commissariat Stores. The Officers served as District Magistrates, jurors and public servants; and the Commanding Officer of the Regiment was second only to the Governor. The NSW Corps were an essential and very influential force in the new Colony. Although the NSW Corps have often been the subject of controversy because of the position of power attained by many of the officers, the majority of the soldiers have been described as ordinary wage earners unable to find employment, and were recruited from poor rural and urban labourers. The remaining group of the NSW Corps arrived in Sydney on the 14 February 1792 with Major Grose, on the Pitt as part of the Fourth Fleet. At 775 tons, it was the largest convict ship to have come to Australia and carried 410 convicts. One of the 58 convict women aboard was Lydia Farrell, who had been convicted at Stafford Assizes on 21 July 1790 and transported for seven years. As a convict woman in 1792 in the Colony, she was one of a small minority. As soon as the ships arrived convict women were usually employed in domestic work in the settlement. In the summer of 1792, Robert Higgins was promoted to Corporal and was assigned Lydia Farrell as his servant. She was to be freed by servitude by this action, and on 11 February they both arrived at Norfolk Island on board the Kitty. Robert Higgins formed part of the detachment under the command of Captain Abbott who had been at Norfolk Island for several years. On 6 November 1794, the troops were ordered to return to Sydney, and Robert Higgins and Lydia Farrell departed from Norfolk Island on the Daedalus. In the early 1800's, Sergeant Higgins was part of Captain Abbott’s detachment at Parramatta and was probably involved in the Castle Hill Rebellion in 1804. By 17 July 1809 he was living at High Street, Sydney leasing a small area of land near the army barracks. In 1810 on 24 March Robert Higgins was transfered to the 73rd Highland Regiment that had arrived with Lachlan Macquarie. This was a special Invalid and Veteran Company of about 100 men who were no longer fit for active service. As part of his social reforms, Macquarie encouraged formal marriages to replace the casual relationships that were common in the Colony. On 9 July 1810, Samuel Marsden married Lydia Farrell and Robert Higgins at St Phillips Church. It was one of the first marriages in the new church that had been completed that year. By the time of their marriage they had four children: Mary, aged 15; = Elizabeth, aged 13; John, aged 12; and Sarah, aged 10. Macquarie adopted a policy of establishing small farm developments and offered land grants to retiring soldiers if they stayed in the Colony. In July 1811, Robert Higgins was granted 50 acres of land at Elderslie, east of Camden on the Sydney side of the Nepean River. He was also assigned a convict servant, Thomas Seymour, who arrived on the Admiral Gambier on 29 September 1811, and married Mary Higgins in 1814. In 1822 John Macarthur at the Camden Park Estate employed both Robert Higgins and his son John. Sarah Higgins also worked on the estate as a washerwoman, and married Richard Boyd who was employed as a groom. On 30 August 1823, Lydia died at Camden and was buried at St Lukes Church at Liverpool. Robert lived for another 20 years at Camden where he died on = 8 March 1843, and was buried at St Peters Church, Campbelltown.	Higgins, Robert (P360)

39	Dawn 7(12) 1958 : 10 h committee has been formed at Cowra to organise functions with a view to raising money for the Children's Christmas party. Mrs. S. Smith, Mrs. J. Bamblett, Mrs. J. Mosely and Miss Olive McGuinness really put their hearts into the first function, a supper dance held on the 28th October. The few doubts held earlier as to its success were quickly dispelled when the residents started to roll up. As this was the first organised function for some time there was a fear that the people might have forgotten how to dance but this was found incorrect as soon as the music started. An old identity from out west supplied this necessary requirement, Paddy Black, who hails from Murrin Bridge and just happened to call at Cowra for a look. It seems Paddy can keep playing that accordion all night if the cause is good. He was ably assisted at times by Froggie Simpson, and Lochie Ingram on their " leafs ". Doc Simpson presided at the door and, with his well-known tact, rxtracted the dues. The Manager and Matron attendcd for a time, Mr. Yates extending his compliments to all present, on thc organisation and behaviour shown. Before leaving, the Matron, Mrs. Yates judged the prize dance, which was won by Ike Williams and Mrs. Phillip Ingram. Next day the general feeling was that the opening night had been an auspicious success and with the committee working on plans for such things as barbecue dances, fancy dress for children, etc., etc., the future for entertainment at Cowra Station looks very bright.

Those on this float decorated with mountain greenery, etc., included :- Corroboree Section : Willie Webster, Peter Whyman, Bill0 Johnson, Ken Johnson and Leo Black.

He was Hero Black, aged about 73, who claimed to be and was acknowledged, as king of the aboriginal tribes in the area between Wilcannia and Menindee. Over the years his tribe diminished by numbers and he was regarded as the last surviving member. The aborigines still in the district paid Hero Black respect and homage. He is reported to have married three times and is survived by at least zo children. The funeral took place the following day, the burial being in the Wilcannia Cemetery. A large crowd, mainly aboriginals, attended the funeral. Father Littler, of the Roman Catholic Church, conducted the graveside service. The funeral differed in no way from a normal ceremony, except that most of the mourners assembled at the graveside instead of following the cortege. During the Royal visit to Broken Hill, Hero Black, with his latest wife Gladys and four of his children, came from Wikannia to see Queen Elizabeth and her husband.	Black, Hero (P462)
