Hi,
We have a family story which states one of Ben Hall's (the bush ranger) nephews burnt down a hay shed at Chilcotts Creek after his courtship of a daughter of Hugh Hughes (my 3xgreat grandfather) went sour. I have found Edward Hall (his brother) and Ed's son's Edward junior and Patrick living in Chilcotts Creek at the time. Does anyone have information on this branch?
The newspaper account of the event is here:
