Hi Kathy Finigan here, great granddaughter of Samual and Elizabeth. I remember taking my grandfather, Sam Spencer Anderson, on a trip back to the property at Bellawongarah in the mid 1980s and one of the reasons he wanted to go back to the farm was to see his brothers grave. It was unmarked but beside a big rock that overlooked the coast and Meroo meadows.
I can only assume that it was Thomas William he was talking about as the rest of the males in the family lived to older ages. For him to know where he was buried and want to visit the grave indicates how much the baby meant to the family as Sam was born many years after his death and left the area when only a child.
Unfortunately, I do not have any information on the property ie address , lot number etc grandad did at the time but I am unsure what happened to that information.
Regards
kathy

Thanks so much Kathy, how special that you could take your grandfather on that trip ❤ This baby William would have been your grandfather’s uncle, and Thomas William was his brother. So many sad losses back then 😦
