Biographies

HUNGERFORD, THOMAS (1823-1904), pastoralist and politician, was born in September 1823 at Cork, Ireland, son of Emanuel Hungerford, captain in the South Cork Militia, and his wife Catherine, née Loan(e). In May 1828 Captain Hungerford and his family arrived at Sydney in the Alexander Henry. In November he bought 1920 acres (777 ha) at Wallis Plains on the Hunter River and in December was granted 2560 acres (1036 ha) which he exchanged in 1833 for a similar grant on Baerami Creek. Thomas was educated in Maitland and in 1843 with his brothers took up Thungalier run on the west bank of the Barwon. In 1847 he became manager and in 1849 introduced the swinging gate for drafting cattle. In 1852 his father gave the Baerami grant to Thomas who married Emma Hollingsworth Wood on 19 June at St Mary's Church of England, West Maitland.
