Grant of land in Paramatta signed by the sixth governor, Brisbane, witnessed by Robert Crawford and another (illegible). William White (c. 1790-1871) came out from England as a free settler in 1803 on the Glatton with his mother and stepfather Isaac Knight. He and Maria Batman (1793–1835) were married by Rev. Samuel Marsden at St John's Parramatta. In the 1828 Census he was listed as a Wheelwright, age 38, at Parramatta, with his wife Maria, and their children Elizabeth, Isaac, Rachel, Maria, Thomas, and John. They had three apprentices, two servants, and a convict, Thomas McCarty, who worked as a nailer. William's 80 acres granted in this document had become 'Brush Farm', twenty acres of which had been cleared by the time of the Census, which recorded four horses there, as well as the fact that he also had sixty horned cattle at Hunters River.

Sir Thomas Brisbane (1773-1860) succeeded Macquarie as governor of New South Wales, and held office from 1821 to 1825. Much of his work as governor was to reform the system of land grants which had mushroomed under Macquarie leaving confusion and boundary disputes prevailing among grantees. Brisbane instituted proper surveys and reformed the whole system of grants, ensuring that only those who were both willing to improve the land and had the capital to do so were successful in obtaining grants.
