Son William is believed to have stayed in Sydney with his mother's PARK relatives before coming on to the Port Phillip district of Victoria.

    Land Selection
    Appears to have leased or owned Allotment 4A of 24 acres, No section number, Parish of Bulban, County Grant. The lease or ownership was transferred to Garrett O'BRIAN [sic] (Abt.1823-1899) his son-in-law on 9 Apr 1853. This land is situated at Little River VIC.

    His grave at Warracknabeal Cemetery is unfortunately unmarked.

    John HERD was elected to the South Barwon Municipal Council in July 1861 and was immediately elected as Chairman of the Council on 9 Jul 1861. (The Argus, Melbourne, 10 Jul 1861, p5)

    John HERD was selected as one of three nominees from the Borough of South Barwon as trustees of Queens Park in Geelong on 15 Feb 1861. (The Argus, Melbourne, 15 Feb 1861, p5)

For some reason the death notice placed in the 'Horsham Times' of 15 Feb 1884 gives his age as being 95 years which is too generous by 10 years.
