The Wall Family: Weaving the Threads of Memories

This story explores the Walls through four generations in colonial Van Diemen's Land, and Central Victoria when it was still part of New South Wales. William Wall, a 17-year-old groomsman, was transported to Van Diemen's Land, now Tasmania, in 1835 as an assigned servant. Twice married, fathering 19 children, and with significant support from his free-settler wives, Mary Long, and Eliza Clarke, William became a farmer, publican, and inn-keeper.
The book covers the 'Currency', William's 13 surviving children born of convict stock, and their descendants and how each generation assumed its place in colonial society over a period spanning 180 years. The paperback is 171 pages.
