iam a decendant of thomas blackman and aboriginal woman who had 4 kids
That makes us cousins. 🙂
I am descended from James and Elizabeth’s child – Robert Blackman.
I have a newspaper article on the topic on the page for Euphemia Blackman. I am sure there is another that talks about all the children. But I cannot find it at the moment.
I noticed that you made mention of my great great grandmother. Elizabeth Winsper/Winsforth in your family research. (Her parents were noted as William Winsforth/Winsper and Mary Ann and her surname was simply noted (a black woman) I am trying to trace our aboriginal heritage.

On the internet I have found a photo attached to James Blackman Snr 1759-1842. This cannot be correct as first portrait photos commenced 1842 the year that James died when he was 83 and living with his son William in a lovely old Mudgee home. Not the Bleak House that was built in 1860 by William Richard Blackman.
Bleak House
William Winsper/Winsforth was a convict and fathered a child named Elizabeth to Aboriginal Marry Ann. Mary Ann Bugg had 15 children to many different fathers. The only Mary Ann of Bathurst/Mudgee area is the notorious Mart Ann Bugg ( thunderbolts aboriginal girl friend accomplice ) Is there a connection ????
