John was the son of convict Arthur Binstead (1831 VDL) and older brother of convict George Binstead (1831 VDL).
John was the son of Arthur Binstead and the brother of George Binstead. Arthur and George were convicted as part of the "Swing Riots" and transported to Hobart Town in 1831. After being granted their freedom in Hobart town George married a Miss Trotman. Arthurs wife Maria had come to Hobart Town. Once free they went to NSW to John and they all went to St. Marys to live where they ran a carting business. The family then divided, some going to Melbourne and some going to Brisbane where they purchased one of the first blocks of land for sale in the main street. They went to Coolong and started a logging business.
