    Geelong Advertiser, 31 Dec 1894
    Mr Francis Bennett, an old colonist, passed away last Friday (says the "Horsham Times") at the ripe old age of 80 years. He was a colonist of 56 years' standing, having landed in Port Philip in 1838. At that time he was connected with the sea, having an interest in several schooners trading between Hobart and Western Port. He successfully piloted the first large vessel up the Yarra, the Black Swan. Soon after he gave up the sea and settled at Kardinia Estate, Geelong, where he spent the most of his life. He came to the Wimmera in 1874, and remained there until his death. He leaves a grown family of nine.

    Francis married HERD Mary 17 Jul 1839, St. James' Anglican Church, Melbourne VIC. Mary (daughter of HERD John, JP and PARK Janet) was born Abt 1822, Old Park, Belfast ANT; died 24 May 1885, Kewell VIC; was buried 25 May 1885, Horsham Cemetery, Horsham VIC. [Group Sheet]

    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)
