of Elizabeth Kilpack, from the sale of his farm until his death in 1797, and Andrew Murray, a friend and brother-in-law of James Milson, after Murray's arrival in the Colony in 1817. Other collaborating evidence that James Milson had been employed by John Macarthur includes that: When James Milson received his first land grant in 1816 he was recommended for this grant by "H McArthur", the nephew of John Macarthur. When James Milson received a subsequent land grant of 100 acres at Pennant Hills in 1821 (he already had 100 acres in that area), it had been 100 acres of the Cornish Hills Farm that John Macarthur had surrendered to the Crown in May 1821, and land that James Milson stated that John Macarthur had requested be granted to James Milson. In a dispute with James Shepherd over ownership the 100-acre land grant that had been part of the Cornish Hills Farm, Milson chose John Macarthur as his arbitrator. James Milson met his wife Elizabeth Kilpack while working on Macarthur's Cornish Hills Farms, as Elizabeth Kilpack was living prior to her marriage at the age of 16 on her step-father's 30-acre farm in the area. Her family also continued to have a close association with the Macarthurs as when her mother received a grant of 60 acres in 1816 the person who recommended for the grant was Mrs Macarthur. Andrew Murray, who married in 1818 a year after arriving in the Colony, also met his wife Eleanor Kilpack, Elizabeth's sister, while working at the Cornish Hill Farms. According to the Beecroft and Cheltenham History Group it is said that Andrew first met Eleanor while out herding cattle at Cornish Hills Farm. 1811 to 1820: Fatherhood and land ownership James Milson's first land grant, of 50 acres, was granted to him on 16 January 1816 when it was recorded that he was living in the District of Parramatta (which included the "Field of Mars") and had a wife and 2 children. These 2 children were Sophia (1811) and James Jnr (1814). They were to be followed by David (1817), Elizabeth (1819), John (1821) and Robert (1824). This first grant was for 50 acres at Broken Bay. Broken Bay is the entrance of the Hawkesbury River into the sea. It appears that Milson never did farm this land and was able to instead convince the Governor Macquarie to change this to a
