Convict Notes
Lewis Rymer was 21 years old when transported for "stealing old metal". His occupation was a Farmer/Labourer. 1836: TOL Bathurst 13/8/1839: COF 1852: CSreLand. 1845: Married Mary Feeny (Died 1898 Condoblin) 27/9/1897: Bathurst Free Press and Mining Journal: It is our painful duty to record the death of a very old colonist in the person of Mr. Lewis Rymer, who died at his residence in Condobolin on Tuesday last, at the ripe age of 80 years. Mr. RLymer landed in Sydney on June 28th, 1832, taking up his residence at Molong in October of that year. In September of 1838 he formed the East Nyngan station, but owing to the three years of drought in 1838, 39 and 40, he was compelled to abandon the run, leaving the then famous Captain Marsden's poloy cattle to either perish of starvation or be killed by the blacks, who were particularly troublesome at the time. Mr. Rymer then returned to Molong, where he resided for may years, spending the latter portion of his days as Condobolin. He leaves a widow and family of five sons and two daughters.
