John was only able to make his mark on his wedding day as was one of the witnesses to the marriage Robert BROWN.
The death of Mr. John Davis, of Esk, which took place on 7th instant, removes another of Queensland's pioneers. He was born in County Cavan, Ireland, 1833, and sailed for Melbourne in the sailing ship Red Jacket in 1855. After a stay of two years in Melbourne he came to Queensland, where he spent the remainder of his days. The late Mr. Davis was one of the party of surveyors under the late Mr. Willoughby Hannam, to survey the tram line from Ipswich to Liverpool Range, and he was also with the party who cut the first train from Rosewood to Tarampa through the scrub. In 1864 he married Miss Janet Hunter, of Brassall, who arrived from Scotland with her father in 1857 in the ship John Davis. The marriage ceremony was performed in the Ipswich Presbyterian Church by the late Rev. Samuel Wilson. For many years, in part- nership with his brothers-in-law, he grew cotton near Fernie Lawn, until the removal of the Government bonus made this pursuit unprofitable. He then carried goods between Ipswich and the Dawson, arriving at the station called Hornet Bank shortly after the terrible massacre of the Fraser family by the blacks, who were in those days both numerous and hostile. After this he engaged in timber getting, and was about the first to take a raft of timber down the river from Ipswich to Brisbane. Land was then thrown open for selection in the parish of Northbrook, and Mr. Davis took up a homestead, where he resided until his death. During his later years he was assisted by his two sons John and Robert Davis, in his successful dairying and grazing pursuits. He was of a quiet, retiring disposition, taking little part in public life, but those who knew him best loved him for his kindly sympathetic nature and upright character. A widow, two sons, and three daughters survive him, and also 22 grandchildren and 2 great- grandchildren. His daughters are Mrs. Nock, of Strathpine; Mrs. Bailey, of Esk; and Mrs. A. Watherston, of Wooloowin.

Samuel JAMES
In the book `A Register of Pioneer Families  Vol 1` this woman is recorded as the wife of James Thomas John BEAN (senior) which is in error as the marriage certificate shows that it was in fact Betty TAYLOR. This mistake has been reproduced often by other researchers. Although this woman is not a true relative, she has been included for no other reason than to point out the error made in earlier work. Elizabeth KIRSHAW was the witness to the marriage of James BEAN and Betty TAYLOR.
We need some help with Samuel so that future generations know who he is and that his existence here, although short in time, will not be forgotten. Your contribution of information would be much appreciated.
