Re "All's well that ends well". Jonathan Wheeler and sons also worked at Camden Park, NSW, for a time, initially engaged by Hannibal Macarthur, John Macarthur's nephew, later farming in their own right in the Camden area.
They were also ironbark sawyers, renowned for cutting the timber for the roof and cedar pews of St. John's Church, Camden. Jonathan's story regrettably did not end so well as Messrs Phelps & Millard. At the age of 64, Jonathan was killed falling from a wagon while transporting wheat between Camden and Junee. He is buried at St. John's Church cemetery as are a number of his descendants.
