David Myers DAVID MYERS [Father] | Genealogy | PHOEBE MYERS | SAMUEL MYERS | ANN MYERS DAVID MYERS AND ELIZABETH BERRY
David Myers was born in 1803, Yeadon in the West Riding of Yorkshire. He was the son of Samuel and Nancy nee Wilson. In 1828 he married Elizabeth b1807 the daughter of Richard and Maria (pronounced Moriah) Berry of Kirkheaton. They had eleven children, one, Phoebe died before the family sailed for Australia, another was born on the ship coming out. (On board the "Thetis" in 1848)
When the family, which consisted of six children at the time, arrived in Australia, David, who had been a clothier in Yeadon, set up business once again as a clothier in Botany where he resided. The family worked as shepherds for William Bradly. It has been said that William his youngest son, learnt to read and do sums whilst tending to the sheep. I believe that there were no fences to contain the sheep then, however, I have seen the remains of rock-wall fencing on the property similar to those to be found in Yorkshire today.
When selection was introduced, David and his family selected part of William Bradley's property called "One Tree Hill", a few miles out from Nimmitabel on the road to Cooma. His son Samuel bought land on the opposite side of the road and like others in the area, proceeded to become sheep and wool growers. Another son, Thompson became a carrier, and after a while, he married and moved to Tumut. Paul, the second eldest son married and stayed in the district, taking up land out at Tuross.

DAVID AND ELIZABETH MYERS David, Elizabeth and small family set sail on board the "Thetis", arriving in Sydney in May 1848, not to know that in the 1850's the woollen trade in Yorkshire would once again flourish. David was born in 1803 and Elizabeth, nee Berry, was born in 1807, both from Yeadon, Yorkshire. David and Elizabeth had six of their seven born children on that epic journey (Pheobe was deceased), all were listed as being able to read and write. They were to become parents once again during the voyage, and this child they named John Cass, after the ship's captain. A further three children were born in this new land, the latter two being twins, William and Mary born in 1853. David settled in Botany in Sydney's Cumberland Shire, where he set himself up as a clothier for some years prior to moving south to the Monaro in 1860 where he and his family worked as shepherds for William Bradley before taking up selection of a property known as "One Tree Hill" which is situated between Cooma and Nimmitabel, near to the present 25kms to Cooma mark. David went on farming "One Tree Hill" with the help of his family and it was reputed to be one of the best sheep farming properties around in those days.
