The following was extracted from the AIATSIS Catalogue (Mura?) back in 2002 by myself.
I am not sure how I did this but I dont think there was anything special in the process.
Looking at my original file I appear to have searched the catalogue for the words
"Koori - A Will to Win". However I cant guarantee this is a complete list.
The initial format of each entry was as follows -
The numbers at the left hand side are record type numbers.
Line .520. is the description of the event
Line .600. is the name of the person
Line .691. is the location
Line .773. is the reference

He was seriously ill at the St. Clair mission station in 1980, but
recovered. In April 1909, he was charged with, but acquitted of, indecent

farmer nearby with whom Davis had quarrelled so that Davis would be
expelled from the mission. Later he left St. Clair, but returned in March
1920 after his wife had died. See Our Aim, March 1908; also Singleton

the author, she was born in 1873 and grew up around Singleton and St
Clair. In 1895 she brought a charge of attempted rape against a white man
in Singleton. In the late 1890s she married a man called Bill O'Connor and
had a daughter, Ruby, to him in 1898. After he died she married Jack
Miller in 1906. Jack and Harriet Miller had nine children altogether. They
were both deeply involved in the work of the Aborigines' Inland Mission at
St Clair. She lost one daughter aged three in 1911 and another daughter
died of consumption at Waterfall Sanitarium, in Sydney, in Aug 1919. A few
months later her husband Jack Miller died of pneumonic influenza at
Dunolly, near Singleton. After his death she moved to La Perouse in
Sydney. Some years later she returned to Singleton and lived with her
growing family in a house in York St. During the Second World War, when
accommodation was scarce, they were evicted from the York St house and
were forced to set up a camp on Redbourneberry Hill near Singleton.
Harriet lived the remaining years of her life in an overturned water- tank
on Redbourneberry Hill. She died here in material poverty in March 1961
aged 88 years. See Singleton Argus, 27 February 1895 and 16 March 1895.

Narwan people. In 1869 he married Sarah Madoo of the Gringai group of the
Wonnarua people. Their first child, Harry, was born in 1870. Harry Snr was
living at St Clair in the early 1880s, working for George Lethbridge who
owned the Bridgeman estate. In 1882 Lethbridge charged him with assault,
and after a long series of court hearings Harry was discharged. This was a
very popular decision as obviously most people felt Harry was innocent. By
1882 he had six children and had another four in the next five years. By
the late 1880s Harry and his family were living on the Redbourneberry
common on the banks of the Hunter River opposite Singleton. One night in
October 1889 Harry was drowned trying to swim the Hunter River from
Singleton to Redbourneberry. He was 47 yrs of age. See Singleton Argus, 29

.520. | The son of Harry and Sarah Waters, he was born at Singleton in
1881. Between 1898 and 1906 he made seven court appearances on various
charges, usually drunk and disorderly behaviour or indecent language. In
about 1907 he came under the influence of the missionaries in Singleton
and was converted to Christianity. He liked to preach, and between 1908
and 1919 gave several talks of his conversion. He and his wife Minnie,
whom he married in about 1901, held Bible classes and prayer meetings in
their home and offered themselves as native helpers to the Aborigines
Inland Mission in 1910. Following the closure of the mission at St Clair,
Herbie reverted to his former ways. In 1920 he was expelled from the
government reserve at Mount Olive. In 1921 he was charged with being drunk
and disorderly at Singleton and in 1923 he was charged with supplying wine
to another Koori. He spent much of the remainder of his life around Kurri
Kurri but visited his sister at Singleton regularly in later years. He
died around 1960. See Singleton Argus, 13 Jan 1898, 24 Oct 1899, 12 Jan

when she was only 13. Some years later she was converted to Christianity
and worked for many years with the missionaries at St Clair and
Redbourneberry. In 1907 she was running a Bible class for children at
Redbourneberry. In 1908 she offered herself as a native helper to the
Aborigines' Inland Mission. In 1914 she and her husband donated an organ
to the church on the St Clair mission and in 1916 she wrote a letter to
the Aborigines' Inland Mission magazine, Our Aim, thanking God for her
recovery from a serious illness. In 1919 she and Herbie were farewelled
from the St Clair mission. See Our Aim, 16 Sep 1970, Aug 1908, July 1910,

.520. | She was the great-great-grandmother of the author. Sarah Madoo
was born in about 1847, a member of the Gringai clan of the Wonnarua
people. She was born at Eccleston on the Allyn River, nth of Paterson. In
1869 she married Harry Waters at Eccleston and soon after left the Allyn
River area. Her first child, Harry, was born in Singleton in 1870. Her
other nine children were Ada, Arthur, Caroline, Clarrie, Daisy, Edward,
Ellen, Harriet and Herbie. In 1889 she was widowed when her husband
drowned in the Hunter River. Rev. James S. White took up her cause with
the Aborigines' Protection Board in 1890 and as a result she had a portion
of land reserved for her on the Singleton common and a hut erected. She
entertained the local municipal councillors from Singleton at her home on
the common in 1891. There were several attempts by local officials to have
her removed from this land over the years because she allowed other Kooris
to visit her and camp from time to time near her hut. These attempts at
eviction were resisted, and when Sarah did leave the Singleton common in
1910 to take up residence on the St Clair mission station, she did so
voluntarily. She was still living at St Clair in 1914. In the latter years
of her life she went to live with her daughter Daisy in Redfern, Sydney.
She died at a house in Lawson St, Redfern, in March 1941 at the age of 94.
Her death certificate, however, said she was 106. See James S. White
diaries, 29 April 1890; also Aborigines Protection Board minutes, 23 Dec

.520. | The brother of Annie Phillips (later Annie Robinson), husband of
Nellie Phillips and uncle to Jack Miller. He was born on the Allyn River,
north of Paterson. He claimed once that his father was an American negro,
however, this was possibly a fabrication so that he could be supplied with
liquor which was prohibited from being sold to Kooris. He first appeared
in the records in 1889, when he cleared three acres (1.2 hectares) of land
on Glennies Creek, near Singleton, and built a house. In 1892, he was
charged by George Loder, a prominent white citizen of Singleton, with
illegally using a horse. In 1895, he laid an assault charge against Harry
Waters. A few months later, he was in court again, giving evidence against
a white man charged with supplying liquor to Kooris. Later the same year,
he complained to the Aborigines' Protection Board about his rations being
discontinued. In 1896, he was employed by the APB to fence the reserve at
St Clair, and in 1897, he appeared in court again, charged with indecent
language. In 1898, he applied for a plough from the APB for use on the
reserve at St Clair, and later in that year he was involved in an accident
in which a horse was killed and a dray broken. In 1900, he applied for two
horse collars and 24 sheets of roofing iron for work at St Clair, but the
request was denied by the APB. The next year, he applied for six bushels
of wheat (163 kilograms) from the APB. In 1904, he appeared in court
again, charged with stealing a watch, but was acquitted. He was never
greatly influenced by the missionaries at St Clair, and in 1909, he was
removed from the mission station. In 1917, he again gave evidence against
a white man accused of supplying Kooris with liquor. See Singleton Argus;
