TIMOTHY O'MARA was born in Tipperary, Ireland, in 1823. He arrived at Sydney in 1839, and in June of that year went to Manaro, remaining there till his death on 22nd November, 1894. In 1843 he married Miss Ellen Russell, a native of Ireland and a passenger with him on the ship that brought them both to Australia. In 1848 George Garnock was gazetted as an applicant for Mount Pleasant Run of 6,500 acres, and the property of this name was acquired by Mr. O'Mara, in 1857. Mr. O'Mara's fifth daughter married in 1882 Mr. J. J. Devereux, one of Manaro's pioneers.
