Local notes

Susannah Hannaford left her home in Devon in 1840 as a widow with four of her five sons and her daughter to establish a new life in South Australia. This book introduces the reader to the family's origins in Devon, the voyage out, early years in SA and the establishment of each of her children in various parts of the state.

Various members of the family have contributed to pioneering life, agriculture, politics, business, local government and in other areas in the Adelaide Hills (Gumeracha, Cudlee Creek, Mt Barker), the mid North (Riverton, Clare, Saddleworth and other towns) and the northern agricultural districts of the state, Qld, Western Victoria and Tasmania.

The book includes chapters on each of Susannah's children, biographical information on most of her grandchildren and a complete record of descendants to the fourth generation. Several appendixes deal other themes of interest to the family. (Cornish, Sambell, Sanders, Stanger, Toms, Townsend).
