    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Occupation: farmer, minister
    • Religion: Wesleyan

    Notes:

    John Quarry Cotter was probably born in the rectory of the church at Castlemagner, County Cork . Nothing is known of his early life in Ireland but, judging from his family background and the academic achievements of his brothers, he probably attended a good school . Family tradition , which of course must be treated cautiously, indicates that J.Q. Cotter's health failed while he was studying law, and he came to Australia to recuperate. It was intended that he return to County Cork when his health was restored, but it is said he liked life in the colony so well that he refused to do so - much to the irritation of his father, who had sent him money for his return fare (which he may have used to buy his property in Waverley Road). Hence his father disinherited him. He is said to have emigrated to England and lived there a short time before embarking for Australia. This may have been to circumvent the then current system of limited quotas of Irish immigrants to Australia by travelling to England to board a migrant ship, so that the records showed them as English migrants. J. Q. Cotter, then aged 16, was on the immigrant ship "Chaseley" when it sailed from "the Downs" on 27 December 1848. He was in the company (and probably in the charge) of his sister Jane Emily Percival Butler and her husband, Joseph Rogerson Cotter Butler, who was a cousin of Jane and John. Both Cotter and Butler are described as farmers on the passenger list. (John and Jane were apparently also related to the Butlers through their father's first wife, who was Anne Charlotte, daughter of Capt G.B. Butler, who was probably J.R.C. Butler's father's sister). The ship reached the Moreton Bay (Brisbane) settlement on 1 May 1849 .

    John married Catherine Wenz on 20 Mar 1857 in St. James (Church of England), Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Catherine (daughter of Johann Wenz and Julia Anne Webster) was born on 29 Jul 1833 in Hattenheim, Germany; died on 11 Sep 1901 in Oakleigh, Victoria, Australia; was buried on 13 Sep 1901 in Oakleigh Cemetery, Oakleigh, Victoria, Australia.

  2. 57.  Catherine Wenz was born on 29 Jul 1833 in Hattenheim, Germany (daughter of Johann Wenz and Julia Anne Webster); died on 11 Sep 1901 in Oakleigh, Victoria, Australia; was buried on 13 Sep 1901 in Oakleigh Cemetery, Oakleigh, Victoria, Australia.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Religion: Weslyan

    Notes:

    On 23 April 1838 Catherine Wenz , then aged 4 years, arrived in Sydney with her father Johann (John) aged 44, her mother Julia Anne (nee Webster) also aged 44, and her two older sisters Margaret aged 15 and Anna Maria aged 8 . They were one of six families brought out to Australia from the wine-growing town of Hattenheim on the Rhine by Edward, James, and William MacArthur, to look after their vineyards at Camden under a five year contract . According to some reports, the MacArthurs treated their employees very badly and the Wenz family was probably glad to end their employment on 22 Feb 1845. They then moved to Lochinvar in the Hunter Valley north of Sydney, where John was later described as an innkeeper. John was naturalised in 1849 and died at Lochinvar in 1853; his wife died there two years later.
