DISTRICT NEWS (FROM OUR VARIOUS CORRESPONDENTS.) DUNGOG.

Mr. Abbott died at his residence, Violet Hill, yesterday forenoon, at 11 o'olook. You and his other friends and acquaintance have been prepared for some time to hear of his death, as the inevitable result of the disease which be laboured under; which made its first approaches two years ago, according to his own account, although the accelerating stages which kept him finally to his house have not extended over two months. Gradual prostration of the vital powers rather than distressing symptoms marked his complaint, until it brought on disease of the lungs. This morning, shortly before ten o'olock, his remains were borne from his house upon men's shoulders through the town, and placed in the vehicle in which it is to be conveyed to the Manning, in fulfilment of an old and ineradicable desire of Mr. Abbott to be buried in that district. Notwithstanding the inability of many of us to know of the funeral arrangements in time enough to allow of participation in them, the body was followed through and beyond the town by a cavalcade befitting the obsequies of an old and prominent resident, one of the few links between the present and the primitive days of the district; and demonstrative of wide respect and sympathy for his bereaved family.

Nov. 26, 1868.

Hi. I hope you don't mind if I say I don't believe Jane Kingsmill and her husband Joseph Abbott were the parents of Thomas Augustus Abbott.

My cousin has a family tree online. She received an email from a gentleman by the name of Alan J. Buttenshaw. His great grandfather was John Abbott, brother to Thomas Augustus Abbott. John and Thomas had a sister Ann who came to Australia with her family in 1842. Letters written to her sons by their uncle John said that his mother had died in 1829 when he was 9 years old. His father died on his 20th birthday just months before he and his brother Andrew came to Australia.

Ann's immigration record said that both her parents were dead.

Andrew Abbott's death certificate says his mother was Jane Lark.

Jane Kingsmill married her husband Joseph Abbott 1826 in Dublin. The Index to their Marriage License is on Ancestry. They were probably the parents of the Rev. Thomas Kingsmill Abbott of Trinity College Dublin. He was born 1829 in Dublin.

My cousin's tree shows that both Joseph Abbotts shared the same ancestry but were from different branches of the Abbott family. Whether that is correct I don't know.

Kind regards
Angela Fox
