I have done extensive research on this subject but have been unable to find any source or evidence to support the following statements in D. Wong's article:- 1. He built a house in Sydney in the 1830', 2. He built the Club House Hotel, 3. Kite's sister, Sarah, came to Australia in 1838, but that is probably true judging by an unexplained endorsement on a death or marriage certificate, 4. That Kite visited England in 1838, although there is evidence that he travelled to England in 1854, 5. That he built his sister a house near the [front] gate of Woolstone.However, a photograph of the Woolstone taken in the late 1800's shows a number of residences, but none near the gate. I suggest the following corrections:- A. The construction by William Cox was of a road over the Blue Mountains not the Central Tablelands, B. Kite received and purchased grants in the Bathurst, Orange, and Molong areas to the extent of about 49,000 acres freehold plus pre-emptive leases attached to various stations and some conditional purchase land, including Kangaroobie, Kite's Swamp, and Beri/Nubrigyn, all within the original nineteen counties (ie.within the Limits of Location). The lands beyond those limits including Molong Swamp, Bob's Creek, Burrawang, Wallamundry, Boramble, Wardry and others were all Crown Leases. Certainly Kite showed more interest in acquiring commercial property in Orange, Bathurst, and Sydney than he did in the Crown leases, although he did acquire the first parts of Mullingawarrina on the Bogan in the early 1860's. He gave Kangaroobie and Denham Park to his son Thomas, Kite's Swamp and Dockairne to son William, and Beri to daughter daughter Sarah Mary Cousins with the other properties shared amongst all the siblings. One interesting feature is that he gave or devised his property equally between the children irrespective of gender. There seems to be ongoing confusion about the identity of Kangaroobie contributed to by local historical societies; Bob's Creek was not part of it, it was to the west of Molong Creek, ie. outside the Limits of Location. I suggest that the only way to clarify the issue is to read the Will which clearly sets out who got precisely what. Wallis Ring, 31/08/2015 email: wallisring@gmail.com

This information comes from http://australianroyalty.net.au/individual.php?pid=I54470&ged=purnellmccord.ged Old Bailey transcript - 15 Jan 1812 THOMAS KITE was indicted for feloniously stealing, on the 21st of December, in the dwelling-house of Hugh Jones, two bank notes of the value of 2 l. each, and a bank note, value 1 l. his property. Thomas’ sentence was commuted to life because of his former good character. He received a conditional pardon in 1818 and an absolute pardon on 31 Dec 1836. Thomas worked under William Cox on the construction of the road over the Central Tablelands. He was one of ten men chosen by Governor Macquarie to settle at Bathurst in 1818. He was granted 50 acres, one convict servant, four bushels of seed wheat and one cow. In 1820 he delivered meat and grain with a value of £35 to the government station at Bathurst. 1820: Married Sarah Baylis (Born in Colony) they had 9 children. 1828 Census: Kite, Thomas, 38, conditional pardon, Fortune, 1813, life, Protestant, landholder, Bathurst Kite, Sarah, 24, born in the colony Kite, Ann, 6, born in the colony Kite, Sarah (Jun), 5, born in the colony Kite, Jane, 3, born in the colony Kite, Eliza, 1, born in the colony Thomas built a home in Sydney in the late 1830s and also built the Club Hotel on the corner of Castlereagh and Hunter Streets. He was also the owner of the site of the present (2009) Commonwealth Bank in Martin Place, Sydney City. He was the director of the Bathurst Bank in 1834. He gradually acquired land by grants, purchases and licence in the districts of Bathurst, Orange, Molong, Wellington, Lachlan, Parkes and Condoblin. Some of the properties (variations in spellings occur) where 'Molong Swamp' (also known as 'Cobong'), 'Burrawong' (central division), 'Wallamundry', 'Boramble', 'Wardy', and 'Kangaroobie'. In 1851 he held more than 200,000 acres and owned over 14,000 head of (mainly) cattle. From 1853, his acquisition of holdings diminished. He disposed of various stations. He sold some holdings but retained 'Molong Swamp' and 'Bob's Creek'. He also acquired property in Sydney in Pitt, Clarence, York, William and Hunter Streets and Orr's Wharf. He gave: 'Kangaroobie' to his son Thomas 'Wardy' to his son in law R.Y. Cousins. 'Kelsoville' to his daughter Sarah Cousins 'Yarrows' to his daughter Elizabeth Forrest land on the corner of Hunter and Castlereagh Streets Sydney to his daughter Emily Lee 'Dochaire' to his son William He provided employment for many relatives of his wife and those of his son in laws and daughters in law. Thomas' wife's family spent a great deal of time living with him. They moved from Windsor to Bathurst, probably owing to the death of their mother. Thomas' sister, Sarah, came from England in 1838 to look after his young family while he visited England. She continued looking after then after the death of their mother. She married John Grey of Bathurst, and Thomas built her a home near the gate of his home 'Woolstone'. Thomas' home 'Woolstone' at Kelso has been restored and his portrait hangs in the Ida Traill's Home' at Bathurst which is maintained by the National Trust. 13/9/1876: Thomas died aged 87 and was buried at Kenso, Central Western Slopes and Plains, NSW
