Grave of Margaret Knox, wife of William Newby.
Possibly relatives of Richard Newby who owned the Paddys Land station:
Richard Newby and his wife arrived in Grafton in 1848 and travelled inland to Glen Innes, then on to Moredun Station at Ben Lomond where Richard worked for Andrew Wauchope as a shepherd. Later, in 1858, he took up a large area of 45,000 acres known as Paddy's Land Station which was transferred from Rundle Dangar and Co. This is where he learned about cattle. Legend has it that they encountered an aborigine, known as Paddy, whom they learned to know and respect. He showed them the spot where they later built their home, hence the name Paddy's Land. At times over two hundred aborigines camped on the station.
