Following the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, donations were collected all over the British Empire to assist the widows and families of the soldiers who bravely gave their lives. Even in far flung penal colony of New South Wales subscriptions were collected. The following is a the list of donors from the Hawkesbury area which appeared in the Sydney Gazette, Saturday 16th March 1816 p. 2. The original document can also be seen online at http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article2176587.
WILLIAM COX, Chairman wrote:
"At a MEETING of the CLERGYMEN, MAGISTRATES and principal INHABITANTS of the several Districts of the Hawkesbury, held at Subscribers at Windsor the 19th February 1816, in Pursuance of an Advertisement in the Sydney Gazette of the 3rd ultimo; WILLIAM COX, Esq being called to the Chair, it was unanimously resolved to subscribe to the RELIEF of the noble SUFFERERS under the gallant Duke of WELLINGTON, on the 18th of June last; and also to request His Excellency the GOVERNOR to be pleased to transmit the same to England by His Majesty's Brig Emu, now on the eve of sailing.
The Districts of the Hawkesbury being so wide and extensive, it was Resolved, that the Magistrates should go round their respective Districts, with some of the principal Inhabitants, in order to collect from the Absentees; when the following Persons voluntarily offered their Services on this Occasion; viz Mr Richard Fitzgerald, Mr Wm Baker, and Mr John Howe, for the District of Windsor; Mr Fitz and Mr Thorley, for the District of Richmond; Mr Arndell, Mr Baldwin, Mr Paul Bushel, Mr Andrew Johnston, and Mr Edward Reynolds, for Wilberforce, Caddie, and Portland Head; Mr Gilberthorpe and Mr George Hall for the District of Pitt Town; and Mr Charles Hadley and Mr Pierce Collett, for the District of Castlereagh. It was also Resolved, that the Subscriptions should be paid into the Hands of Mr Fitzgerald, as Treasurer, at Windsor; and that a Deputation of James Mileham, Esq and Mr Richard Fitzgerald, should wait on HIS EXCELLENCY with the Subscriptions so collected."
