Biographical History
Samuel Marsden (1764-1838), pioneer clergyman, farmer and sheepbreeder, first reached Australia in 1794.
He served as a chaplain in New South Wales from 1794, based at Parramatta. He built St. John's church and a formidable and thriving farm. Marsden's missionary endeavours were predominately concerned with the Maoris of New Zealand, forming the NSW Society for Affording Protection to the Natives of the South Sea Islands and Promoting their Civilisation in 1813. Marsden received various tickets-of-occupation and land grants around Bathurst in 1823-4, and by 1828 owned some 5140 acres. His sons and daughters, Thomas, Martha, Mary and Elizabeth Marsden, later also acquired grants, leases and squatting licenses in the district. He was known for his efforts to improve the agricultural output of New South Wales and New Zealand and for encouraging the establishment of the first European settlement at the Bay of Islands in New Zealand. His appointment as a magistrate in 1795, and his service on the Bench until 1822, caused much dissension within the colony. Bishop Samuel Edward Marsden was the grandson of Reverend Samuel Marsden. He was the first Anglican Bishop of Bathurst and the first Australian-born bishop.eng
