William Boyton (1809-1874)

William Boyton (1809-1874) arrived in Australia in 1851 on board the "Sarah" along with his second wife Emma Abrahams and children from his first marriage to Emma Wombwell including Charles, Harriet, Peter and Jabez. (information from NSW Records Assisted Immigrants)

William and Emma Abrahams had children, David, John, Mary, Thomas and Maria while living in Campbelltown.

After a period working in the Campbelltown area west of Sydney, the family moved in the 1860's to take up selections of land in and around Nangus about 20 kms from Gundagai.

After William's death, Emma moved to Wagga Wagga with most of the family leaving Peter and Jabez in Nagus to farm.
