Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Thomas Medwin was born 1837, Buckinghamshire, England, United Kingdom; died 14 Oct 1904, "Ninevah", Esplanade, West Devonport, Tasmania, Australia; was buried 15 Oct 1904, Don Cemetery, Tasmania, Australia.

    Notes:

    Was a farmer, later became a storekeeper in Church street, Stanley, 1871. The last living pioneers of the North West Coast are slowly being severed from their places by the grim messenger death. The late Mr. Thomas Medwin, who died on the 14th inst., at West Devonport, was an old identity of the coast, and like his father and brothers had borne the burden that beset all pioneers. The deceased was 67 years of age, and was a son of the late Mr. William Medwin, and was a child when the father and mother, and family numbering eight, landed in the year 1840 in New Zealand. The natives at that time were very wild and turbulent, and about the year 1841 the family deemed it best to move to Tasmania. At that time the V.D.L. Co. offered very strong inducement to settlers, and a settlement was made in the forest, which name the district is now known by, and there was the commencement of farming by a family who are recognized as being amongst the most successful and energetic farmers of the Circular Head district. The deceased retired from farming about 25 years ago, and as a successful storekeeper, was well known. A few years ago the late Mr. Thomas Medwin removed to West Devonport, where he had built a nice home, but, unfortunately, heart disease deprived him of that reward which he had earned – a rest to enjoy the competency gathered by incessant toil and thrift. The deceased left a widow and large family, now grown up, to follow the footsteps of a worthy farther. The funeral cortege was a large one, friends and relatives coming from various parts of the island to do respectful homage to one whose just and kindly acts will long be cherished.
