• Notes

  Tabitha, together with her husband and early children, immigrated to Australia. The first Wesleyan Methodist service on the mainland of South Australia was held in a tent near the Old Gum Tree at Glenelg on 22 Jan 1837. It was conducted by John C. White. On 11 May 1837, fifteen people met at the home of Edward Stephens near the site of the present Festival Theatre and decided to establish a Wesleyan Methodist Society. Tabitha Wickham was one of those present. Tabitha was also the first nurse in South Australia. Early in 1837, an infirmary was set up on North Terrace near Morphett St. Tabitha undertook to care for the inmates, and to cook, for ten shillings a week plus rations. Buried South of Morgue Rd, plan 1-2 with Mary and John Bailey WILLIAMS. Tabitha had an illegitimate daughter prior to her marriage. Her full descendant information is available through John Jennings of Australia. I have not shown all her children here.
