James Badgery, a well-educated farmer from Devon, received land grants of 139 acres (56.2 hectares) in the area. On his land, Swilly Farm, he built up a productive farm without government assistance and endured the 1806 flood without much financial loss. By 1806, part of this farm was leased to the well-known First Fleeters Anthony and Elizabeth Rope.
