i. WILLIAM BAWDEN (OR4 BOWDEN), b. 1826, North Molton, Devonshire, England. Christening: 14 May 1826, North Molton, Devonshire, England
Notes for WILLIAM BAWDEN (OR BOWDEN):
The names BOWDEN or BAWDEN are Cornish forms of the Franch BAUDOUIN
1. William was born to William and Elizabeth at North Molton and christened there on 14 May 1826.
2. Family legend is that William's daughter, Joanna Miriam, was born in Adelaide c 1846 and that her father died while Joanna was still a young child. There is no record that I can find or mention in legend of William's marriage (which could of course have been in England before he came to Australia) or of Joanna's mother.
3. William was working as a labourer at Gascote in Middlesex when he enlisted in the XI th Regiment (then known as the North Devonshire Regiment) on 29 Nov 1844. By Feb 1845, William was at Chatham Barracks from where detachments were despatched to Sheerness to provide escorts for convict transport ships.
4. On 8 May 1945. William sailed on the "DAVID MALCOLM" bound for Norfolk Island, arriving there on 25 Aug 1845, unloading convicts on 26 Aug and sailing for Sydney, arriving there on 21 Sep and disembarking on 22 Sep 1845. He stayed in Sydney until October, when he sailed for Van Dieman's Land, and by 30 Dec 1845, he was located in Launceston. He stayed there until embarking on 4 Apr 1846 for Adelaide. He remained as a member of the South Australian detachment until late Jun 1848. On 10 Apr 1848, he was admitted to the Adelaide Hospital with a fever and was discharged on 19 Jun 1848.
5. From Jul 1848 to Dec 1856, William served in New South Wales, probably spending most of this time at the newly completed Victoria Barracks, Paddington, which were occupied on 5 Aug 1848. For some time in 1855 he was in "public employ" and during the periods from Jul 1848 to Dec 1854 and again from Jan 1856 to Mar 1856, William was recorded as being absent from monthly musters at the Main Barracks on a number of occasions because he was on guard duty at Cockatoo Island (guarding convicts) at the time.
6. On 11 Nov 1856, William was reported as being Absent Without Leave and by Mar 1857 was recorded as being a deserter.
7. I can find no further record of William and assume that, like many other soldiers who did not wish to return to England, he just disappeared into the countryside.
4. GEORGE3 BAWDEN (HUGH2, JOHN1) was born 1810 in North Molton, Devonshire UK, Christening: 12 Oct 1810 and died 12 Feb 1880. He married (1) JANE (OR JOAN) BUCKINGHAM 03 Apr 1834 in Twitchen, Devonshire. She was born 1806 in England. He married (2) ELIZABETH ESTER VINCENT 03 Sep 1872 in Kapunda SA, daughter of NICHOLAS VINCENT and JAN VINCENT. She was born 1813 in Roseland, Cornwall UK, and died 01 Apr 1899 in Kapunda SA. She arrived in South Australia prior to 1851.
Notes for GEORGE BAWDEN:
1. Grace must have died prior to 1852 because she was not listed as one of George and Jane's children on the ship's record when they migrated.
2. The family migrated to South Australia on the OMEGA, departing Plymouth on 29 May 1852 and arriving at Adelaide on 24 Aug 1852. George was described as a farm labourer; Jane and Mary were described as domestics.
3. In 1867 the Adelaide Almanac and Directory listed George as a farmer of Hawker's Creek, near Kapunda. Later directories from 1868 to 1873 list him as a farmer of Kapunda The marriage certificate for Joanna Miriam Bawden lists him as a farmer of Kapunda SA.
4. Joanna spent much of her early life living with George - her great-uncle and was living on his farm at the time of her marriage in 1868.
Children of GEORGE BAWDEN and JANE BUCKINGHAM are:
i. MARY4 BAWDEN, b. 1835. Christening: 13 Dec 1835, Twitchen, Devonshire UK
ii. MARIA BAWDEN, b. 1838. Christening: 29 Apr 1838, Twitchen, Devonshire UK
iii. HUGH BAWDEN, b. 05 Nov 1840; Christening: 22 Nov 1840, Twitchen, Devonshire UK, d. 1932.

Child of WILLIAM BAWDEN (OR BOWDEN) is:
6. i. JOANNA MIRIAM5 BAWDEN, b. 1846, Adelaide SA; d. 24 Apr 1890, Nr Port Broughton SA.
Generation No. 5
6. JOANNA MIRIAM5 BAWDEN (WILLIAM BAWDEN (OR4 BOWDEN), WILLIAM3 BAWDEN, HUGH2, JOHN1) was born 1846 in Adelaide SA, and died 24 Apr 1890 in Nr Port Broughton SA. She married GEORGE HAINES 12 Mar 1868 in Christ Church Kapunda SA, son of JAMES HAINES and HANNAH FLOWER. He was born 07 Jul 1844 in Devizes, Wiltshire UK, and died 23 Jul 1930 in Adelaide SA - Buried at Payneham Cem SA.
Notes for GEORGE HAINES:
1. George was born to James and Hannah at Devizes in Wiltshire UK on 7 Jul 1844. At the age of 6 years, he accompanied his parents, brother and five sisters as they migrated to South Australia. They sailed on the TRAFALGAR and and arrived on 31 Mar 1850. The family lived initially near Walkerville (Adelaide), then by 1853 moved to Tea Tree Gully and in 1859 moved to Allen's Creek, or Allendale (now called Allendale North) near Kapunda. George stayed at Allendale North and was married there at the age of 23 years. This was two years after his father had died and at this stage George was farming, presumably on his father's farm.
2. Joanna Miriam was born in Adelaide c 1846. Her father was William Bowden and Joanna's surname is spelt Bowden on some documents. Her christian name is spelt Johanna on George's headstone in Payneham Cemetery. I can find no record of Joanna's mother and I have heard no mention of her in family legend. However, family legend is that her father died while Joanna was still a young child and that she spent much of her early life living on the farm of a George Bawden, her uncle. He was actually her great-uncle. In 1867 George was recorded in the "Adelaide Almanac and Directory" as a farmer of Hawker's Creek near Kapunda. At the time of her marriage, Joanna gave her residence as being Ross's Creek. These two creeks are in the same area to the south west of Kapunda and join just prior to flowing into the Light River.
3. George and Joanna Miriam were married in the Christ Church, Kapunda on 12 Mar 1868. The witnesses were a Fanny Lord of Mitcham and her uncle George Bawden. For the next ten years George and Joanna lived at Allendale North and while living there, the first seven of their children were born.
4. 1878. the year the family left Allendale, was a year of significant agricultural expansion in South Australia. The stump-jump plough had been invented in 1876 and this made the farming of virgin land much easier. In 1877, a new Scrublands Act replaced the one which had operated for the previous 11 years. Under the old Act scrubland could be leased in blocks not greater than 1 square mile for a period of 21 years with an annual rent of 10 shillings per acre with the right to buy at any time at a price of 20 shillings per acre. The new Act reduced the price from 10 shillings to 4 shillings per acre per annum. During the next 4 years, some half a million acres were taken up and it was during this time that much of the Broughton area was opened up. Farmers had already replaced sheep men in the lower Broughton area under the old Act.
5. During the nine years following their move to Mundoora, George and Joanna had another six children.
6. The first few pioneering years were hard, 1879-80 were years of poor yield and were followed by two further years of drought, with some areas also suffering locust infestations. George carted stock water 16 miles from the River Broughton and drinking water from Crystal Brook, a distance of 20 miles. He was a member of the local Agricultural Bureau from its inception and also a trustee of the Methodist Church where he rendered service as superintendent of the Sunday School and leader of the singing in the church.
7. In 1890 Joanna Miriam was accidentally killed when a cart turned over. They were visiting friends in the Port Broughton area and the accident occurred on the property of Mr E Dennis, killing her at the age of 44 years. In 1897 George re-married and his second wife was Elizabeth Levett, who came from Portland in Victoria.
8. In 1906, George sold the farm and retired to Adelaide, where he resided until his death in 1930. For some years he worshipped at Maughan Church and then about 1925 he moved to Mitcham. For the last three years of his life he lived in North Adelaide, and at the time of his death his address was 17 Davis Place, North Adelaide.
9. George died on 23 July 1930 and was buried at Payneham Cemetery. He was survived by Elizabeth his second wife, 12 children, 49 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren.

Notes for WILLIAM MARTIN HAINES:
1. William Martin was usually called Martin or Mart. He was born to George and Joanna Miriam at Allen's Creek, or Allendale, on 3 Jan 1875 and moved with his family to Mundoora in 1878. As a young man Martin worked for some years in the ore smelters established at Port Pirie in 1888-89 to treat ore from Broken Hill in New South Wales.
2. In 1900 he took up a farm at Mitchellville in the Hundred of Warren near Cowell, after having ridden around on a bicycle to inspect it (a trip of about 270 kilometres each way). He had applied for this scrub block which was granted to him by the Government on a perpetual lease of 6 pounds per annum. He then bought a horse and dray and moved it to the block (a six day trip). He and his elder brother Harry worked the farm under the name of "HAINES BROS" and for some years their sister, Matilda, kept house for them. The first house was a simple hut, which was still standing in 1986. Initial clearing was done only with an axe, but later with a team of 12 bullocks which was also used to scoop out dams for water catchment.
3. Family legend is that during the first few years the boys cleared land and planted crops and then went back around to Port Pirie to work at the smelters until it was time to return to the farm to harvest their crops. It is also family legend that until fences were constructed, the horses were only hobbled each night. At one stage, the horses escaped and headed for home, which meant that initially they headed north. The boys followed up and after a day or two caught up with them among the horses on "Nonowie Station", about 60 miles to the north. This is supposedly how Martin and Clarice met.
4. Clarice was born Humphrey David and Harriet Mary at Red Hill on 10 Dec 1877. In 1883, she moved with her family to the "Goongoona" property in the Hundred of Pirie in the Lower Broughton area. About 1891, the family moved again, this time further down the Broughton River to the "Enderly" leases. In 1896, Humphrey David took up a lease near where Whyalla now stands and Harriet Mary and the girls moved to the area, named "Nonowie", in 1898.
5. Mart and Clarice were married at "Nonowie" on 27 Sep 1905 in a double ceremony with Muriel Cowled and Ern Styles. all of their children were born while they were living at Mitchellville. The farm was named "Laangy", an aboriginal word meaning home.
6. Much of the timber cut during the clearing of the farm at Mitchellville was shipped across Spencer's Gulf to Port Pirie. It was cut into 4,6, and 8 foot lengths. The 4 foot lengths were called "bakers wood" and were used for firewood, whereas the longer lengths were used for fence posts. The timber was shipped from the beach at the bottom of the farm, about one mile from the house. Initially, so was their grain, and at one stage a storage shed was erected at the beach and Martin was appointed as the government agent. However, before the shed was built, the grain was carted to the beach and stacked to wait for collection by ketches from Port Pirie. As the beach was very shallow, the ketches could only come in on a high tide and they would then be left high and dry on the low tide. For this reason, they had relatively flat bottoms. The farmers would then reload the bags of grain onto waggons and drive them out to the boat and load the wheat directly over the side; sometimes working in water up to the horses' flanks.
7. Charles Martin started school when he was 7 years old, having waited until Humphrey George (or George as he was usually called) turned 6 so that they could attend together. They attended the Mitchellville school driving a horse and sulky to get there. Mrs Junie Franklin was one of their teachers at Mitchellville, a small school with only one teacher at a time.
8. When the children's uncle David left Utera, the family went to live on that farm. It became Martin's and he used it to run some stock on until he later sold it. While there, the children went to school at Utera, about 3 miles from the farm, where Minnie Du Bois (nee Guidera) an aunt of Charles Du Bois (who later married Clarice Maud Haines) taught them. They later went to Playford School about 4 miles from the farm.
9. On 15 Jan 1925, Clarice died and was buried at Cowell.
10. At this stage, Clarice Maud took over the housekeeping duties for the family; she was 13 and a half years old.
11. Martin build his own house on the farm. Initially, it consisted of two parts with the front containing four, high-ceilinged (12 foot) rooms and the back consisting of a lean-to extension. The back section included the kitchen and a dairy room. At one stage, Martin and the boys rebuilt the roof so that the whole house was placed under the one roof line and the ceiling was raised in the rear part of the house. When this was done, each sheet of galvanized iron was re-used. But first, small patches were soldered over all holes, including nail holes. At lot of the timber used in this job was cut from large oregon beams which has been thrown overboard from ships plying the Gulf and washed ashore at Mitchellville.
12. For a long time the farm work was done using Percheron draught horses. At one stage Martin had 18 draught horses - he operated two teams of 8 mares (which he used to work line abreast), a spare mare and a stallion. To look after such a team or horses was quite a problem in itself. They were fed first up in the morning, at midday, then when they came back in from work before sundown (to be rubbed down to prevent them catching chills), and again last thing at night. Initially, all of their chaff was cut by hand (later by machine) and then mixed with other feed including copra and molasses.
13. The farm was not in a high rainfall area (average just under11 inches per year) and it included some sand ridges which drifted leaving the root systems of some trees standing 5 or 6 feet above ground level. In 1929, they experienced a very bad season of drought and the family was forced to leave the farm for a while and head south to better country to agist their horses and thus keep them alive. When they returned it took months to clear sand drifts from around the house and along fences. When Martin eventually sold his horses in 1937 he had a total of 27, including a hack. At this stage he and the boys were working 3 x 8 horse teams and they were all replaced with the farm's first tractor, which was caterpillar-driven.
14. During the trip south in 1929, Martin met Edith Bald (a widow) at Yeelanna, and they married on 10 Mar 1930. Edith was born c 1882 in Charters Towers, Qld and her first husband (Bald was her married name) was a bank manager who died in South Australia. Edith had a daughter, Mary, from this first marriage.
15. Martin and his youngest son, Richard, share-farmed the property from the end of World War II until 1952, when Richard and his family moved to Western Australia.
16. On the sale of the farm in 1954, Martin and Edith retired to Port Lincoln. However, he did not live there for long. Edith died at Port Lincoln in April 1955 and soon afterwards Martin moved to Wudinna to live with his daughter, Maud Du Bois. He soon moved to Adelaide and died on 15 Jul 1955 at the Daw Park Private Hospital, Springbank. He was buried on 18 Jul at Centennial Park Cemetery, Springbank (Adelaide) SA.
NOTE: I (Richard Haines) can remember visiting the farm when I was quite young. It had a dairy with some house cows and a dairy room next to the kitchen where the family separated cream and made butter. They ran sheep and were therefore able to provide some (if not all) of their own meat. The farm had a fowl run, fruit trees and a vegetable garden. I'm not sure whether or not they had pigs but I think they did. The farm adjoined a beach and blue swimmer crabs, flounder and garfish were caught there; the flounder by spearing. I remember Dad (Charles Martin Haines ) saying that Martin caught eels in a creek which ran onto the beach and used strips of their skins to make boot laces. I remember a large shed with a pile of scrap metal next to it. It contained all the bits and pieces necessary for a farmer to do his own repairs and maintenance, including a forge, an anvil, a drill, a lathe and welding equipment.
