In both England and Ireland, during the 1800’s, for vast numbers of people, the economic and social
conditions of the day were extremely harsh.
The Industrial revolution was well under way.
Machinery was taking the place of men and women in the factories.
Unemployed country people moved to industrial towns seeking work.
Depression, unemployment and hunger, the lot of vast numbers of people in both cities and rural areas led
inevitable to crimes.
The government tried to prevent crime by passing harsh laws.
Even in the 1770’s there were 160 crimes for which one could be hanged.
This however did not stop the lawlessness.
The penal colony of New South Wales was one means of easing the pressure on British gaols and the
hangman’s rope.
During the 1830 and 1840 period of Australian history, we saw an astronomical rise in the level of convict
transportation to the colony of NSW. Half of the 122,262 men and 14,960 women sent to Australia during
the 60 years of transportation came during this decade.
In 1836, at the height of the convict exodus from England, the small village of Poslingford welcomed its
newest young resident, Joseph Barton.
Joseph Barton was born on 2 December 1836, to Poslingford carrier James Barton and his wife Margaret
(nee Brett).
Joseph Barton was christened just two months
later on 5 February 1837 at Clare, Suffolk.

Joseph Barton appears in the 1841 English Census, just 4 years of age, living in Poslingford with his
parents James and Margaret Barton, along with siblings Mary, Elizabeth, Stephen and Elijah.
Joseph Barton appears in the later 1851 English Census, just 14 years of age, now working as an
agricultural labourer and still living in Poslingford with his parents James and Margaret Barton, along
with siblings Mary, Stephen, Elijah, James, Eliza and Samuel.

Joseph Barton Snr – Migration to Australia
At the age of 21 years, Joseph Barton Snr made the momentous decision to leave his family behind and
seek his fortune in the labour starved colony of New South Wales.
Joseph Barton paid the sum of £1 (one pound) to the Immigration Board for his passage to Australia.
The ship “Golcanda”, built at St John’s
England in 1852 left the port of
Liverpool, England on 3 February
1857 for its long and arduous voyage to
Australia.
Ship Golcanda – painted in1876 by Artist George M. Ottinger
The ship “Golcanda” was under the
control of its Master – Joseph Francis.
Joseph Barton was one of the 390
passengers, 226 males and 164 females.
The ship’s surgeon Patrick Culhane was
obviously kept busy, with shipping records
reporting the death of 6 male and 3 female
passengers during the journey, while the
birth of 6 male and 2 female children also
took place.

Joseph Barton was to move almost immediately to the Boorowa area because his name was listed as a
landowner on the Parish Map for County King pre 1860. The land listing below is from the book

Despite arriving in Australia aged 21 years, a decade was to pass before Joseph Barton Snr was to marry
widow, Johanna Evans (nee Butler).

Johanna Butler – arrival in Australia & first marriage to Henry Evans
Johanna Evans (nee Butler) was the daughter of convict William Butler and his wife Mary Slattery /
Slatery.
William Butler, a convict, arrived in Australia per the ship ‘Forth (3)’ on 3 February, 1835.
William Butler went to trial in Kilkenny on 13 March, 1834 and was convicted on a “firearms offence”.
This was a common offence for “Irish Rebels” who were rebelling against British control in Ireland.
In the Colony of NSW, William Butler, along with another convict Henry Evans, were both assigned to
their master Francis Rossi at Goulburn, until their time as a convict had expired via their Ticket of
Leave, Certificate of Freedom and/or Conditional or Absolute Pardon.
On 31 December 1847, William Butler gained his Absolute Pardon and freedom.
William eventually acquired enough money to pay a deposit ‘Deposit Journal’ in order pay for the ships
passage to the Colony of NSW for:
Mary Butler (his wife) whom he hadn’t seen for 20 years
Daughters Johanna (alias Judith) Butler & Mary Ann Butler (who were both mere young babies /
children when their father was transported to the Colony of NSW)
Mary Butler and her daughters Judith (Johanna) and Mary Ann finally arrived in the colony of NSW on
20 June 1854 per the ship ‘Switzerland’.
The family reunion, after 20 years of separation, should have been a joyous occasion, but:

Johanna Butler and Henry Evans
Just 2 years after the arrival in the Colony of New South Wales, Johanna Butler was to marry former
convict Henry Evans.
At this stage it appears that Henry Evan’s first wife Eliza Croker (nee Browning) was deceased.
Johanna Butler married Henry Evans on 20 June 1856, at King's Plains, near Blayney and Bathurst.
After the marriage, Henry and Johanna returned to Little Plains Creek where Henry continued his
occupation as a blacksmith and farmer.
Henry and Johanna produced a family of eight children:
1. William b 1857 at "Little Plains"
2. Calvin (Christopher) b 1 Sept 1858
3. Mary Jane b 12 Aug 1860
4. Caroline (Kate) b 21 Oct 1862 at Frogmore
5. Francis b 16 April 1864
6. James (Augustine) b 15 April 1866 at "Little Plains"
7. Charles Alfred b 1867 at "Little Plains Creek"
8. Henrietta Francis Susannah b 1869 at "Little Plains Creek"
Towards the end of 1869, Christmas celebrations were soon followed by a series of tragic events for
Johanna who was pregnant at the time.
Firstly on 29 December 1869 their son Francis was accidentally drowned in Little Plains Creek, aged a
tender 4 years.
A dejected and depressed Henry Evans took his own life some six days later on 4 January 1870.
His death certificate stated that he took his own life by "cutting own throat, temporarily insane, suffering
from delirium tremors".
Henry Evans died on 4 January 1869 aged 55 years (54 years on headstone).

Joseph Barton Snr and Johanna Evans (nee Butler)
It was just over a year after Henry Evans death that his widow Johanna Evans (nee Butler) married
Joseph Barton.
The marriage took place at St Peter’s and St Paul’s Catholic Church, Goulburn on 4 February 1871.
Father Michael Slatter officiated at the ceremony, while witnesses included Philip Brady and Therese
Sprake.
When Joseph and Johanna were married:
Joseph Barton was now 34 years of age and had been and had been in Australia for over 12 years
Johanna Evans (nee Butler) was nearing 40 years and already had borne a large family of 8 children
after her marriage to Henry Evans

Photo Discovery – October 2019 A recent phonecall from Kath Carroll has most likely uncovered a very important “Barton family” photo.
Joy Gorham (nee Medway) from Koorawatha had given to Kath Carroll a ‘Tintype” photo [an early negative
on a thin metal plate, first introduced in 1858, most dating between the 1880’s and 1890’s].
Joy Gorham indicated that the gentleman at the back of the photo was
her grandfather: ‘Charles Alfred Evans’, the last son of Henry Evans
and Johanna Butler, born c1867 near Frogmore, NSW
Joy indicated that “in the front row were 2 Bartons, ‘Joe’ Barton on
the left! Joy also indicated that ‘Joe’ Barton was 4 years younger than
her grandfather Charles Alfred Evans.
Joseph James Barton was born at “Little Plains”, Frogmore on 20
October 1871, four years after Charles Alfred Evans.
The other Barton is believed to be the next in line, Walter Thomas
Barton, born at “Little Plains Creek”, Frogmore on 29 November 1874.
Walter Thomas Barton was the father of Ethel Gorham, Elsie Malone,
Esther Roberts and ‘Toby” Barton.
Their mother Catherine Barton (nee Keefe) died in childbirth and from
appendicitis in 1907 and their father Walter died at Lewisham Hospital
in Sydney from a hydatid cyst in 1908 leaving four orphaned children.
Their respective uncle and aunt Joseph James Barton and Harriet (nee
Keefe) added the orphans to their own family of seven children and
another brother’s orphaned child to quickly reach the combined total of
12 children, whom they reared as one family.
Charles Alfred Evans was the half-brother of Joseph and Walter
Barton. Their mother was Kilkenny born, Johanna Butler who was first married to Henry Evans and then,
upon his death, married Joseph Barton Snr.
My mother Elsie Malone (nee Barton) had never seen a photo of her mother Catherine Barton (nee Keefe) until
she was in her 80’s when a photograph surfaced from the “Hall Collection” at Young, a photograph of the
Keefe family. Elsie was to never see a photograph of her father Walter Barton.

Joseph and Johanna farmed at “Little Plains” for a number of years before moving to the nearby
property of “Redbank”.
On 9 August 1904, Joseph Barton Snr took out a mortgage with the Union Bank of Australia Ltd,
presumably to purchase “Redbank” (No 443 Book 764).
The mortgage of £168 (pounds) was discharged on 17 February 1910 to Alfred Henry Chambers,
manager of the Union Bank of Australia (No 864 Book 901).
“Little Plains” it appears was taken over by his son Joseph James Barton.
As well as property interests, it is known that Joseph Barton at one stage was the owner of a butter
factory in Boorowa.
Death of Johanna Barton [formerly Evans – nee Butler]
Johanna Barton (nee Butler – formerly Evans)
died of heart failure on 29 July 1906 at the
property “Redbank” Frogmore aged 71 years.
Johanna Butler was born in Kilkenny, Ireland
c1831 and subsequent research points to her
baptism on 20 March 1831 at the suburb of
Johnswell, Kilkenny, Ireland.
Her parents were convict William Butler and his
wife Mary Slattery (their tragic story is related in a
separate article).
Johanna Barton was buried in the Roman
Catholic section of the Boorowa Cemetery with
Father Sharkey officiating at a graveside service.
Joseph BARTON and Johanna (nee BUTLER- formerly EVANS) {Compiled by John Malone} Page 16
Johanna Barton – Death (continued) There were only very brief notations of the death of Johanna Barton (wife of Joseph Barton) in the press
clippings of the day.
The Yass Evening Tribune dated Monday 6 August, 1906 gives a
brief outline relating to the death of two Frogmore District residents
Mrs Joseph Barton and Mrs P Carroll.
As it turns out Mrs Carroll is Johanna Barton’s niece – Mary Ann (nee Byrne), daughter of Johann’s sister
Mary Ann (nee Butler) and Andrew Byrnes.
Mary Ann (nee Byrne) had a son John Murphy before marrying Patrick Carroll and then giving birth to a
further 7 children.
Johanna Barton - Headstone
The Burrowa News dated Friday 12 October, 1906 provides
some background information relating to the most impressive
headstone erected for Johanna Barton in Roman Catholic
Section of the Boorowa Cemetery.
MONUMENTAL WORK.— Mr. F. Rusconi, Monumental
Sculptor, of Gundagai, has just completed a splendid piece of
monumental work, to the order of Messrs. Joseph and
Walter Barton, of Burrowa, erected over the grave of their late
mother, Mrs. Johanna Barton. The monument is of Carrara
white marble, 8ft. high, surrounded with a stone kerbing, and
centered with marble chips.
The marble plinth bears the inscription—"Erected to the
memory of Johanna Barton, born at Co. Kilkenny, Ireland;
died at Burrowa, July 29, 1906; erected by her sorrowing
sons, Joseph & Walter. Sweet Jesus, have mercy on her soul." On top of the plinth stands a cross with a wreath of shamrock,
supported by a bow carved in relief ; around the cross twines a
large ribbon, bearing the words in relief, "Thy will be done."
The Frank Rusconi story is included for interest below:
Joseph BARTON and Johanna (nee BUTLER- formerly EVANS) {Compiled by John Malone} Page 17
Frank Rusconi – Monumental Mason, Gundagai Frank Rusconi (From Wikipedia)
Frank Rusconi (20 August 1874 – 21 May 1964) was, together with his brother, Joseph, quarry owner
and monumental mason of Gundagai, New South Wales, Australia.
He was born at Araluen near Braidwood, New South Wales, the son of a Swiss goldminer and monumental
mason. After his mother's death, the family returned to Switzerland while Frank was a child. At age 15, he was
apprenticed first in Italy and then Switzerland in the marble trade.
Rusconi returned to New South Wales in 1901. He worked with his brother and father near Orange, New South
Wales in a marble quarry they had discovered and developed.
He settled at Gundagai in 1905. He died nearly 60 years later in nearby Cootamundra having been an active
member of the Gundagai community since settling there.
Notable works are:
the Dog on the Tuckerbox - Rusconi made the base of the Dog on the Tuckerbox monument and the rest of
the object was cast at 'Oliver's Foundry', Sydney.
the Marble Masterpiece, a miniature building constructed of 20,948 individual pieces of marble. Work
commenced in 1910 and was completed 28 years later. The work is on display in the Gundagai tourist
office.
tombstones are at Gundagai, Orange, Cudal and Galong cemeteries; the largest and most dramatic is a pair
of white marble monuments to the Ryan family at Galong,
two War Memorials at Gundagai
the marble altar in Tumut Catholic Church
Marble Masterpiece
The sculptor of the famous Dog on the Tuckerbox, Frank Rusconi, also left another impressive
legacy for Gundagai in the form of a unique cathedral-in-miniature. Coined ‘Rusconi’s Marble
Masterpiece’, Rusconi wanted to showcase the diversity and beauty of NSW marble.
A true craftsman, Rusconi built this impressive display
from 20,948 individual pieces of marble, every piece
cut, turned and polished by hand over a 28 year period.
Incredibly, no plans or drawings have ever been found
and it appears he did the statue entirely by sight alone.
Rusconi was a very talented man, some of his other
works include the marble stairway at Westminster
Abbey in London.
He died in 1964 at the age of 90 leaving us with a legacy of these extraordinary marble sculptures.
The Marble Masterpiece stands 1.2 metres high and is permanently on display at the Gundagai Visitor Information Centre (open daily).

Death of Joseph Barton
Joseph Barton Snr continued to live at “Redbank” Frogmore.
The house he lived in was an old “pise” house.
After Johanna’s death, the house was shared with ‘old’ Joe Lee, who apparently ‘drifted in’ one day.
Joseph Barton Snr lived at “Redbank” until his death on 28
August 1912.
He was found dead after suffering from heart disease, aged
75 years.
His death certificate indicated he was born in Suffolk,
England and had lived in Australia for 53 years.
His father was listed as Elijah Barton, a labourer, his mother
unknown.
(His actual father’s name was James Barton and his mother
Margaret Brett. Joseph had a brother Elijah who migrated
from England to Canada)
Joseph BARTON and Johanna (nee BUTLER- formerly EVANS) {Compiled by John Malone} Page 19
A report in the “Town Topics” column in the “Burrowa News” dated
Friday 30 August, 1912, stated as follows:
“We regret having to report the death of Mr Joseph Barton Snr, which
took place suddenly late last Wednesday afternoon.
It appears that Mr Barton who was so engaged repairing his fences,
was attacked with heart failure and died almost immediately. The
funeral took place this
afternoon.
Not being in possession of
the necessary particulars,
we will have a more lengthy
reference in our next
issue.”
A later report also in the “Town Topics” column in the
“Burrowa News” dated Friday 27 September 1912, stated as
follows:
“The late Mr Joseph Barton, Snr, who recently died at his
residence in the Burrowa district, was a native of Coventry,
England (should read Poslingford, Suffolk) and was born in the
year 1836. He came to Australia in the sister ship of the Dunbar,
both sailing from Liverpool together (Joseph sailed in the ship
“Golcanda”). The Dunbar was wrecked in the night in Sydney
Harbour and the other ship sailed in on the following morning,
so all on board were eye-witnesses to the wreckage. On landing,
Mr Barton came to live at Little Plains where he acquired
property and went in for farming and grazing. In 1872 (should be
1871) he married the widow of the late Mr Henry Evans, who
predeceased him by about 6 years. There were three sons issue of
the marriage, two of whom are dead, the surviving son being Mr
Joseph Barton, Jnr who resides at Little Plains. There are also
12 grandchildren. The late Mr Barton resided at Little Plains
until thirteen years ago, when he purchased Red Bank and went
to live there.
Probate listing No: 57974 / 4 read as follows; Joseph Barton, late of Frogmore, sheep farmer. Joseph
Barton Jnr sole executor – for his personal use, an estate valued at £7,395 10s 3d.
Joseph Barton Snr was Church of England and his wife Johanna Butler (formerly Evans) was a Catholic.
After Johanna Barton’s death, the Catholic priest from Boorowa came to “Redbank” to encourage
Joseph Barton Snr to change his religion so he could be buried next to Johanna at Boorowa.
Johanna was however known as a cranky woman who nagged Joseph quite a deal.
Joseph BARTON and Johanna (nee BUTLER- formerly EVANS) {Compiled by John Malone} Page 20
When the priest suggested his idea to Joseph, Joseph replied with, “After lying next to such a cranky
woman all these years while she has been alive, why the bloody hell would I want to be next to her when
she’s dead.”
The furniture in Joseph Barton Snr residence was the property of his wife Johanna and as such was
given to her daughter Caroline Gorham (nee Evans), wife of John Thomas Gorham and was valued in
her opinion at less than £12.
