Mariposa: A Story of the Learmonths of Western Victoria and Mexico, 1834-1930Alexander, William, James and Peter--sons of John Learmonth and Margaret Watson--immigrated between 1834 and 1841 from Scotland to Tasmania, Australia (one to Hobart Town, the others to the country). In 1882, Allan and Stanley, the two eldest sons of Peter, immigrated to a ranch in Coahuila, Mexico. One family returned in 1892, and the other in 1903--the Mexican property was sold in 1964. Descendants lived in Tasmania, Victoria, South Australia and elsewhere. |
