== History at Tarawingi before the KellyGang ==

First Taken up in [[1824-1853 Events|1837]] '''Dr William [[Properties|Bowman]]''' but he gave up for a time because of troubles with the aborigines. Bowman reformed the run in 1838. The run was sold to '''Sir Francis Murphy''' ([http://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/re-member/bioregfull.cfm?mid=605 ] the Victorian Parliament) in 1844. (50,000 acres) George Gray held it in 1847 and the '''Reid Bros''' in 1851 but Murphy seemed to continue his interest until 1862 when Dr George '''MacKay''' took over the lease. MacKay gave Sup Hare a gold watch as a reward for protecting his wife from the bushranger Meakin ([[Tarawingi|Sadleir]])([[The Last of the Bushrangers Chapter 2 page 1|FH]]) In 1868 the Melbourne Banking Corporation passed the lease on to Arthur Dight. It was then owned by Francis Mackay who transferred the run to Charles Ibbotson in 1879.

In the 1850s Sup Hare visited Tarrawingee on his way to Wangaratta after doing some gold prospecting ([[The Last of the Bushrangers Chapter 2 page 4|FH]])
