1921 Death of J SEAGRAVE Coastal Identity Passes, Pioneer of the Early Fifties.
The death occurred at Burnie early this morning of Mr James Seagrave, who was one of the earliest pioneers of the North-West Coast. The deceased gentleman was in his 85th year.
It was during the early fifties that the late Mr Seagrave came to Emu Bay, his father at the time being engaged in agricultural pursuits on his farm at 'Dayspring,' near Somerset. Farming not proving congenial to the deceased gentleman, he devoted his attention to ship building, and in company with Mr Wiseman, father of Mr Thomas Wiseman, who at present resides in Burnie, he constructed the first small sailing vessel launched at Emu Bay. In those days the facilities for loading vessels were of a most primitive nature, vessels having to anchor out in the bay, while small rowing boats would pull close into the rocks, and produce, which comprised chiefly potatoes, would be carried from the drays by workmen, and be taken out by the small boats and placed aboard the vessels at anchor in the bay. This was an occupation in which the late Mr Seagrave was frequently engaged.
A man of many parts, of versatile attainments and possessed of a brilliant wit and the art of entertaining, the late Mr Seagrave was much sought for his company at all manner of functions of a social character.
As a young man he followed the occupation of sawmilling at Messrs Moore and Quiggin's sawmill at Wynyard. While there he studied and qualified for the position of schoolmaster, and was subsequently appointed master of the Wyntard State School, a position which he held for several years. Later on he was transferred to the Waratah school. Shortly afterwards, the National Bank of Tasmania decided to open a branch office at Waratah, and Mr Seagrave was appointed to the position of manager, which he retained for many years.
Until quite recently the late Mr Seagrave was Registrar of Births and Deaths at Burnie, but advancing years and consequent frailty rendered it necessary for him to relinquish that position.
The deceased was a man of high integrity, and his courteous manner won him many friends, who will regret the passing of a prominent figure in the early history of North-Western Tasmania.
The late Mr Seagrave leaves a widow, resident on the mainland, two married daughters, and two sons. One of the daughters is living in England, and the other in Victoria, while of the two sons, one holds a responsible position in a leading South African banking institution, while the other is attached to the Commonwealth Military Forces in Victoria.

4. Ann HAMMOND b abt 1820 from shipping and age at marriage.
Mary Ann HAMMOND (Jnr) age 21 m 9 Nov 1842 Frederick St, Independent Chapel, Launceston, Stephen WILKINSON, Laborer, age 21. Ceremony performed by John West, Minister. Both signed in the presence of witnesses: Thomas CONQUSBY and Mary (herXmark) GIFFORD [RGD37/1/2 no 1660]
"Ann Hammond junior’s husband came from a notable Launceston family and was the surveyor who laid out Launceston. He also led the expedition that discovered gold in Wynyard. There are a number of articles and letters from him on Trove. He also signed the birth certificate of one of the Tunk's children. I think he and Ann travelled and eventually settled in New Zealand, where they both died. That would explain my notion that Samuel Hammond and his wife (another Ann) went there." (Ann Mayer)
