Tasmanian Pioneer Index Christening No :- 6799/32
Extracted from "We Are Not Here" by Robyn Friend
"Aboriginal People Of The Huon And Channel Today"Mary Ann's Baptism is shown as being two years prior to the registration of the COWEN / BLEASE marriage.
Mary Ann is identified with sister Matilda Ann as Aboriginal by oral tradition.
Mary Ann as "Granny Bone" and Matilda Ann as "Aunt Til"The story goes that Aboriginal children assigned to or taken by Thomas COWEN were "adopted into the COWEN Family.
As early as 1819, SORELL, in a proclamation, referred to the abduction of native children by settlers.
{N.J.B. PLOMLEY - The Aboriginal Settler Clash in Van Dieman's Land 1803 - 1831}These "missing" children would simply have disappeared into the community, their Aboriginality unrecorded.
Another possibility is that Thomas COWEN, who was in the District some years before the advent of his marriage to Mary, cohabited with an Aboriginal woman before and perhaps during his marriage and that the children of both women were simply registered as children of the "Legal Marriage".
There are certainly families known as the "Black COWENS" and families known as the "White COWENS" still living in the district.
However the Aboriginality of "Granny BONE" as evidenced by her grandchildren and Great Grandchildren within the test is, to the Huon Aboriginal Community and to this writer, beyond doubt.
Mary Ann died in Hobart 27 Jan 1927.

Sarah married Thomas NICHOLS [scrapbook] son of William NICHOLS and Eleanor "Ellen" KELLY on 17 May 1870 in Port Cygnet, Tasmania, Australia. Thomas was christened on 9 Jun 1830 in Brown's River, near Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. He was buried in 1915 in Cygnet St Marks Anglican, Tasmania, Australia.
Thomas Nichols was born at Brown's River, near Hobart, in 1833, and was the youngest son of the late William Nichols, who was one of the most experienced shipwrights in the colony.
He did boat-building for many years at Brown's River, where he did a large trade, supplying whalers with the necessaries used in securing the wily cetacean.Nichols, senior, then took up land in the Port Cygnet area, he being one of the first to make a home in that locality.
Some of the land then secured was, as of the turn of the century, in the occupation of leading residents, who had turned a wilderness into profitable snug little orchards and farms.Thomas Nichols was brought up to farming on his fathers farm, and subsequently took to the river trade, working at first for a Mr. Gibbs on the "Lady Palmerston", trading to Recherche Bay. Mr. Gibbs left for New Zealand a few years afterwards, and the "Lady Palmerston," was rented by Mr. Nichols, who was singularly fortunate with her
He managed to save enough out of freights, etc., to build a craft of his own, and this he sold to a South Australian firm for £500.
In 1877 he had the well-known ketch "Good Intent" constructed by John Wilson, and he traded in her between Hobart and Port Cygnet till 1896, when he handed the ketch over to his son, in practically the same substantial condition as the day on which she was launched.
Nichols obtained his master's certificate in 1869.He was married in 1871 to Sarah Cohen, daughter of Thomas Cohen, and had a family of two sons and four daughters.
