Note

From "Magnificent Minnaville" by Jean A Gray : The story of the second Ann Harris is a remarkable one in itself. She was married three times, and children from all three marriages were part of the family she bought up at Minnaville.
She was Ann Cook ‎( nee Poulton)‎ when she was allowed to accompany her husband Bnjamin on the "Royal Admiral" on which he was being deported for life early in 1800. But a few weeks out from England, Benjamin died and Ann found herself alone, Pregnant and bound for a country of which she knew nothing. A few days before reaching Sydney, Ann's son William Cook was born.
Also travelling on board the "Royal Admiral" were two French Prisoners of the Napoleonic wars who had volunteered to come to Australia to start vineyards. They were cousins, named Antoine L'Andre and Francois de Riveau. Ann and Antoine must have become friends during the long sea journey because on February 7, 1801 they were married at St John's Church, Parramatta.
Adopting an anglicised version of the name Ann and Antoine were known as Landrin or Landers. The place where the vineyards were, is still visible when looking down from Government House. Antoine and his cousin worked the vineyards at Parramatta for three years, but Francois was ordred to leave the colony after having become involved in the Castle Hill uprising.
Antoine was given a land grant at Prospect Hill where he and Ann and the children lived from 1804-7. Then they sold the land and took up another grant in Parramatta.
But in 1811 tragedy struck again, when Antoine died just a few days before the birth of his daughter Jane, their fourth child. At the time of Antoine's death, the family was living on a farm on the Nepean at Castlereagh, and no doubt in such a relatively small community, the people all knew each other well. It is more than likely that Ann and John Harris knew each other by then.
Two years after Antoine's death, Ann and John Harris were married and Minnaville became home to Ann and her five children. By then her oldest son William was 13 years old. Soon the family had increased by two more children, born to Ann and John."
****************
"Ann ‎(Poulten/Bellchambers/Cook/L'Andres/Harris)‎ remained on her own for a couple of years and then on 3rd June 1813 she married John Harris of Castlereagh, by banns at St Philip's.
Two children were born of this union, John and Thomas, who later
married into the Ikin and Morson families, respectively.
In later years Ann purchased the Mince Farm on the Nepean River at
Castlereagh.This later became part of Hadley Park."
