| 説明 | AB Murray (1816-1902), as he was often known as, actually came to SA to help a fellow Scot James Malcolm who owned Poltalloch Station on Lake Alexandrina as well as leases at Mt Crawford. (The Lake Alexandrina property was later bought by the Bowmans and the WEA runs a history tour to Callington and this station once or twice a year.) AB Murray had arrived with little money but he soon raised a good flock of sheep for James Malcolm and so he bought out the Malcolm’s leasehold at Mt Crawford. He then named his property Murray Vale. Apart from leasehold land he also purchased freehold land from the Barossa Special Survey in 1843 and some freehold land at Magill. In 1841 his brother John arrived from Scotland and in 1843 he also took up land at Mt Crawford. Alexander Borthwick Murray (1816-1903): buried in Adelaide (Magill?); married Charlotte Scott (were they the same family that first settled Kersbrook in 1858?); then Margaret Tinline.•8 children with his first wife Charlotte but only one grew into adulthood, Esther Gault she lived in Lorne Avenue Magill behind Murray Park house. Charlotte died in 1853 and Alexander Borthwick remarried in 1858. Charlotte is buried at Murray Vale cemetery. AB Murray left Mt Crawford after Charlotte died in 1853 and moved to Tungkillo and eventually Murray Park House after 1862. •4 children with his second wife Margaret Tinline. Margaret (who married a Downer, and the current Lady Downer ( Alexander’s mother) still lives nearby); Sir George who became Chief Justice of SA and never married( died 1942); Charlotte who never married( died a few years before brother George); and another son Malcolm who ran Wirrabara station until he died around 1902 before his father died in 1903.•During his life time Alexander Murray also had Leigh Creek Station, Bookpurnong station on the Murray and other land. He subdivided and laid out Murraytown near Melrose. |
