174936 Clogger (Clogher) Michael - Surry 1836. 27 April 1934 Dungog Dungog Chronicle. Reminiscences by Alfred Edmond Dudley Jones of Nymboida - I heard many interesting things when i was young from a man named Michael Clogger. He had formerly been in charge of some black police at Port Macquarie. He had a sword and used to chase the blacks with it to frighten them, riding into their camps and scattering them. It is a wonder that he was not speared but the blacks were very much afraid of steel. That sword is now in the possession of my grand daughter at Mymboida. Clogger married Mrs. Sinclair and his stepson William Sinclair, died only a few years ago.
Born - Roscommon County Ireland. Sister Mary Clogher arrived per Roslin Castle (5) [1836].
