"Cotter, George Sackville (1755-1831), poet and translator, was the fourth son of Sir James Cotter. He was educated at Westminster School, of which he was captain in 1770, and in 1771 he was elected to St. Peter's College, Cambridge. He graduated B.A. in 1775 and M.A. in 1779. Having taken holy orders he became vicar of Kilmacdonough, and rector of Kilcreddan-Garrivoe and Ightermorragh, diocese of Cloyne. In 1788 he published two volumes of 'Poems,' dedicated to Lady Shannon, and consisting of a poem in two books, entitled 'Prospects,' and a collection of odes and other fugitive pieces. In 1826 he published a translation of Terence for the use of the schools, in the preface to which he states that when at Westminster School he had been an actor in three of Terence's comedies. In the following year he printed seven of the plays of Plautus, 'translated literally and grammatically, and cleared of objectionable passages.' The later years of his life were spent at Youghal, Cork, and he died in 1831. By his wife, a daughter of Bayly Rogers, physician and banker of Cork, he left, with other issue, four sons."

George Sackville Cotter was named after Lord George Sackville, a friend of his father's, and was known as "a great musician."

The poems dedicated to Lady Shannon were published by William Flynn, Cork, in 1788. The full title is "Poems, consisting of odes, songs, pastorals, satyrs, &c, and a descriptive poem in four books, called Prospects."

He was described as a "Doctor of Medicine and Surgeon," and "lately arrived in this province with a numerous family."

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 .
