BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON HOBARTVILLE ESTATE, RICHMOND NSW BY MICHELLE NICHOLS

Hobartville estate is located on the outskirts of Richmond with views to the mountains. Originally 2 grants (Blackman & Lutterell) the property was purchased by William Cox (senior or junior is not known) in 1816. The property became the home of William Cox junior who was the eldest son of William Cox and Rebecca Upjohn who arrived in the colony of NSW onboard the Minerva in 1800. (William Cox senior was well known in the Hawkesbury as a road builder and was responsible for building many fine Hawkesbury buildings some of which are still standing today)

William jnr purchased a commission with the NSW Corps in 1808 and returned to England and served in the Peninsular Wars, he was promoted to Lieutenant in 1812. William married Elizabeth Piper daughter of John and Frances Piper on the 12th August 1813 at St. George Bloomsbury in London. They returned to Australia on the Wyndham in 1814, William was then a member of the 46th Regiment. William leased Luttrell's Farm at Richmond from Luttrell's son-in-law Lt. Atkins & purchased the 400 acre property in 1816, expanding with Blackman's 100 acre farm in 1818. The Georgian house was completed by 1828. William Cox junior died on the 20th January 1850 and was buried in St. Peter's Cemetery, Richmond. Following the his death, son Sloper Cox leased the property from his older brother, William (who was already involved with running the Negoa property in the Hunter Valley). Sloper married Adelaide Sophia Garling in 1856, sister of Frederick Garling, famous Australian artist. The Hobartville property was eventually conveyed to Sloper in 1865 by his mother Elizabeth and William. The association of the Cox family and Hobartville ended when Sloper died bankrupt on the 24th September 1877 aged 53 years. Andrew Town (1840-1890) was the next owner and purchased the property from the Cox estate in 1877 to expand his horse breeding business. Town was very well known in the horse racing and breeding arena owning some very famous sires and mares. Town went bankrupt and the property was sold. The house and much of the land still stands today and is used as a horse stud. It can be seen on the left, on the road from Richmond to Kurrajong.
