About the Author

James Rounsevell noted the following in the Foreward:

This group of biographies grew from a family tree I started drawing up in about 1985. I ended up with such a lot of data on my family that it seemed a pity not to turn all this information into a written account of my forebears in South Australia; the following biographies are the result. Apart from the stories about William, John, and William Benjamin who were notable achievers in their day and consequently most likely to be of general interest, I have included a chapter on William's brother and three sisters, all of whom migrated to South Australia in the early days of the colony. They did not match the achievements of William and his two sons, but the family story would not be complete without them.
