His wife Jane died in 1860 and his two elder sons had arrived two years earlier on the Brothers Pride. With the money earned from ploughing, fencing and cartage contracts he purchased 2,000 acres from the Shand Bros (and a further 2,000 acres between 1866-1886), in the district now known as Thomson's Crossing, near Winton.
