For example

Sarah Waters

She was the great-great-grandmother of the author. Sarah Madoo was born in about 1847, a member of the Gringai clan of the Wonnarua people. She was born at Eccleston on the Allyn River, nth of Paterson. In 1869 she married Harry Waters at Eccleston and soon after left the Allyn River area. Her first child, Harry, was born in Singleton in 1870. Her other nine children were Ada, Arthur, Caroline, Clarrie, Daisy, Edward, Ellen, Harriet and Herbie. In 1889 she was widowed when her husband drowned in the Hunter River. Rev. James S. White took up her cause with the Aborigines' Protection Board in 1890 and as a result she had a portion of land reserved for her on the Singleton common and a hut erected. She entertained the local municipal councillors from Singleton at her home on the common in 1891. There were several attempts by local officials to have her removed from this land over the years because she allowed other Kooris to visit her and camp from time to time near her hut. These attempts at eviction were resisted, and when Sarah did leave the Singleton common in 1910 to take up residence on the St Clair mission station, she did so voluntarily. She was still living at St Clair in 1914. In the latter years of her life she went to live with her daughter Daisy in Redfern, Sydney. She died at a house in Lawson St, Redfern, in March 1941 at the age of 94. Her death certificate, however, said she was 106. See James S. White diaries, 29 April 1890; also Aborigines Protection Board minutes, 23 Dec 1890 and 31 Jan 1901; also Singleton Argus, 12 Sep 1891 and 26 Feb 1896, and also Our Aim, Oct 1910 and Nov 1914.
