General Notes:
Now spelt as Chesher.
It would seem that the eldest son, Thomas Samuel Cheshire, was often in dispute with other settlers, shown as follows from the Carcoar Court of Request:
1859 sued G. Lumdrin for building stables.
5/0/01859 sued James McVicar Promisory note.
6/17/61862 George Chesher sued by Charles Goodwin, promisory note.1863

Thomas S. Chesher sued by Mathew Dywer, case to Chesher.
1869 sued William Glasson, damage and trespass.
5/10/1869 Thomas S. Chesher sued by William Glasson, trespass.
1/15/1875 sued Jerimiah Nesan, illeggal branding of horse. 7/12/1877 sued Mr Collins for damage by trespass.
5/10/1877 sued Mr Collins for slander, case dismissed.
1879 sued Mr Walsh for trespass of sheep.
There can be no doubt that the Cheshire children were hard working rural workers and in the Public House trade, (Hotels-Inns). They were running these business interests around Teasdale and way out to Eugowra in NSW. They were always trying to improve, prepared to gamble on the future, and were quite aware that what they tried, could go wrong, and they were often placed in such a finance position, that they had to sell out.
One may imagine the Cheshers were hard men to deal with, and many an enemy was made, as well as many strained relationships within the family. For instance, all the brothers were left equal shares in "Teasdale" after their father died, this eventuated to one brother having full ownership, who even took action to have another brother pay back a loan. When the other brother could not pay back the loan, his share of the property was claimed.
Married Catherine Ahern, 18th March, 1857, at Teasdale Park.
Daughter of James Ahern and Jane Miller.
