Edward Pomeroy Barrett-Lennard (1799-1878) was a pastoralist and member of the Legislative Council of Western Australia who first emigrated to the colony from England on the Marquis of Anglesea in 1829.[1] He was born on 19 June 1799 in Essex, England, to Thomas Barrett Lennard (1762-1857) and his wife Dorothy (1769-1830), née St Aubyn.[2] Edward had eleven siblings: Thomas (1788-1856), John (c.1790-1856), Dorothy (1791-1791), Dorothy Ann (1794-1882), George (1796-1870), Henry (1798-1870), Dacre (1801-1839), Charles (1802-1891), Juliana Elizabeth (1804-1874), Charlotte Maria (1805-1884), and Frances (1809-1890). He also had a half-sibling, Walter James (1833-1890), from his father’s second marriage to Georgiana Matilda Milligen, née Stirling (c.1798-1873).[3] Edward Barrett-Lennard grew up at the family seat at Belhus, a manor and stately home in Aveley, Essex.

The Barrett-Lennard family had profited from the slave trade, including via intermarriage with other prominent families.[4] Edward’s father Thomas was son and heir to the 17th Baron Dacre. Although he was illegitimate (his mother was Baron Dacre’s lover, Elizabeth FitzThomas), he was regarded as a legitimate son by Baroness Dacre (born Anna Maria Pratt), and on his father’s death he inherited his wealth. Baroness Dacre’s own family, the Pratts, were connected through marriage to West Indies slavery. Her father’s first wife was Elizabeth Gregory, whose family owned Hordley estate at St Thomas-in-the-East, Jamaica.[5] Baroness Dacre’s brother, Charles Pratt, married Elizabeth Jeffreys, granddaughter and eventual sole heiress of Sir Jeffrey Jeffreys, slave trader, West Indies merchant and assistant to the Royal African Company.[6] That the 17th Baron Dacre had significant wealth is evidenced by the fact that between 1744 and 1777 he and his aunt spent significant sums upgrading Belhus House and the surrounding Belhus Park. Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown and Richard Woods were commissioned to remodel the grounds between 1753 and 1763.[7] 

Links to West Indies slavery are also evident in Barrett-Lennard’s maternal family line. His mother, Dorothy St Aubyn, was the daughter of Sir John St Aubyn, 4th Baronet, and his wife Elizabeth, née Wingfield.[8] Her aunt, Barbara St Aubyn, was the second wife of Sir John Molesworth, 5th Baronet. Sir John Molesworth 4th Baronet owned the Jamaican estates Spring, Pitney, and Cow Park as well as 3,269 acres in St Dorothy. His great uncle Hender Molesworth had been a slave-owner, slave-factor, and governor of Jamaica.[9] Furthermore, Dorothy’s sister, Catherine, married their first cousin Reverend John Molesworth (son of Sir John Molesworth and Barbara St Aubyn).[10] There is also a link to West Indian slavery through the Wingfields, Dorothy’s maternal side. Her cousin Elizabeth Wingfield was married to John James, resident manager of the Barbuda estate of Christopher Bethell Codrington between 1805 and 1826.[11] 

Beyond these immediate family lines, Barrett-Lennard’s extended family brought further connections to slavery. Through his stepmother he was linked to the Stirlings, who had made much of their wealth from the importation of tobacco from plantations cultivated by enslaved people.[12] His brother, Thomas, was married to Mary Bridger Shedden (1805-1844), whose family was awarded a compensation claim for 288 enslaved people on the Stewart Castle Estate in Trelawney, Jamaica, in 1835. The couple received £1252 19s 9d.[13] Despite this, as a member of parliament, Thomas campaigned for the abolition of slavery and in 1832 declared himself to be ‘a decided enemy to slavery.’[14]

At a time when the abolition of slavery loomed, and the potential profits to be made in the Australian colonies had become apparent, Barrett-Lennard’s wealthy family sent their younger son to the new Swan River venture. Barrett-Lennard arrived in Western Australia on 23 August 1829.[15] He was granted 13,220 acres of land for the £616 worth of assets he brought with him.[16] The first grant was on the west side of the Swan River near Ellen’s Brook, where he chose the 2,906-acre allotment G2. He wrote: ‘The land I have chosen is for the most part very good, and has the advantage of a navigable river ... Finer land than that we passed over is not to be found.’[17] In 1830 he acquired the adjoining allotment on the southern boundary, Lot H, which was 4,834 acres. Running these two allotments together, he named the property ‘St. Leonards.’ In 1839 Barrett-Lennard bought 600 acres adjoining the northern boundary of St Leonards and was given the freehold title the next year. He named this property Cossington Farm.[18] In 1830 he was assigned Avon location M, which was a 3,286-acre property south-east of Beverley, which he named St Aubyns, and location L, which was a 1,280-acre allotment north of Beverley. In the same year he was also granted a 5,000-acre allotment, thirty miles north of St Leonards at Bamban Lake, but he was not able to convince workers to stay in the isolated property and in 1836 he exchanged this for a 5,000-acre grant, M1, situated between his two existing properties at Beverley. He added to this by purchasing the 1,106-acre adjoining lot from Richard Isaacs. These two lots were combined to form the property Wanering.[19]

Barrett-Lennard was made a Justice of the Peace in 1829 and became a director of the Agricultural Society.[20] In 1830 he joined Governor James Stirling and a group of settlers on an exploratory trip up the Collie River during which Stirling gave the name ‘Mount Lennard’ to one of the high points.[21] His land grants were made on Ballardong Noongar land. Aboriginal people occasionally speared and ate the sheep that colonists brought onto their land; they also speared colonists in retaliation when Aboriginal lives were threatened. In response to these threats to colonists’ lives and property, the government formed ‘Yeomanry Associations’ in the Middle and Upper Swan Districts. Barrett-Lennard was appointed commanding officer of Yeomanry for the District of Middle Swan on 3 October 1831. The duty of these troops was to instantly pursue groups of Aboriginal people, who were to be ‘brought in at all hazards’ should they be perceived to have ‘attacked’ the lives or properties of the colonists. The Yeomanry troops were to ‘take such further decisive steps for bringing them to punishment as the circumstances of the case may admit.’[22]

In August 1836 Barrett-Lennard sailed for England, along with William Tanner and John Wall Hardey.[23] These landowners were returning to attempt to change the land laws in the colony. Lennard, Tanner, and Hardey joined the Western Australian Company in London, and Tanner proposed a resolution that resulted in the committee sending a letter to Lord Glenelg suggesting that all Crown lands should be open to purchase at a minimum price of 10s. per acre and that the proceeds should be used to assist the emigration of labourers to the colony.[24] Although Glenelg did not agree to the proposal, he did agree to allow colonists who had been granted land before July 1831 to surrender it in return for credit to allow the purchase of land elsewhere, thus enabling colonists to effectively dispose of non-productive land in exchange for more fertile areas.[25]

On 28 September 1837 at Cossington, Somerset, Barrett-Lennard married Elizabeth Francis Graham (1810-1878), the daughter of Robert Graham (1775-1815), a judge in Joanpore, Calcutta, and Sarah Paul (c.1779-1845).[26] Elizabeth’s great-uncle, George Graham, had been a planter in Jamaica during the 1760s but had made the bulk of his fortune as a merchant in Calcutta.[27] On his marriage a settlement was signed giving the children of the marriage ownership in trust for St Leonards and St Aubyns.[28] In 1838 a son, Thomas Graham Barrett-Lennard (1838-1840), was born in Cossington.[29] The family travelled to Western Australia in 1839 aboard the Montreal.[30] They brought with them Barrett-Lennard’s nephew, Edmund Henry Thomas (1823-1895), who was the son of his brother George .[31] Edmund initially lived with his uncle, eventually buying land at West Beverley, which he named Annandale.[32]

Edward and Elizabeth Barrett-Lennard had six more children in Western Australia: Edward Graham, (1839-1888), St. Aubyn (1841-1857), Fanny Helen (1842-1918), Rosa Georgina (1844-1921), William Dacre (1846-1867), and Amelia Charlotte (1849-1856).[33] In 1840 Barrett-Lennard was elected a member of the Swan Districts Road Trust, a forerunner of the present day system of local councils.[34] Only colonists with landholdings of greater than 1,000 acres were eligible to vote.[35] In the same year he was also made a member of the Legislative Council.[36] In this role he advocated for measures to increase the number of labourers in the colony and for the ability to lease Crown land.[37]However, in 1842 he resigned from the Legislative Council, citing a lack of time due to looking after his properties.[38]

The Barrett-Lennards suffered a series of misfortunes following their return from England. Less than a month after their arrival in Western Australia, their ten-month-old son, Thomas, died from dysentery.[39] In 1841 the family home at St Leonards caught fire and was destroyed when embers from the kitchen fire set the thatched roof alight. The couple were in Perth at the time, and the loss was estimated to be £2,000.[40] In 1854 Elizabeth sailed for England, taking with her the four youngest children and a servant.[41] Amelia died two years later in Cossington.[42] In 1857 fifteen-year-old St Aubyn, left in Australia with his father, died when he was thrown from his horse on the Guildford bridge.[43] Four years later, William Dacre returned to Australia, but died from consumption (tuberculosis) in 1867.[44] Elizabeth never returned to Australia, dying in 1878 when she was hit by a train while crossing the lines at Bedford Station.[45]

By 1866 Barrett-Lennard was bankrupt and his possessions in the hands of executors.[46] Although his possessions were advertised for sale, this did not go ahead. His son Edward Graham had married Mary Ann Hardey (1840-1884), the daughter of John Wall Hardey (1802-1885) and Elizabeth Davey (1812-1873), in 1862, and her father paid off the debt. Barrett-Lennard transferred the profits and rents of his land to Hardey.[47] He and his wife also signed an indenture to change the trust set up on their marriage to allow Edward Graham to inherit all his father’s land.[48]

Barrett-Lennard moved into a small cottage on the St Leonards estate and the family lived in straitened circumstances for many years.[49] He died in 1878, although his health had been fading for several years.[50] Alfred James Hillman, a banker with the West Australian Bank, wrote in his diary: ‘Barrett-Lennard died today at his place on the Swan, considering the way in which he lived, it is surprising that he lived to such an age, it can hardly be said that drink killed him. He ought to have been one of the first men in the country.’[51] Edward Pomeroy Barrett Lennard arrived in Western Australia as a man of wealth and privilege, thanks in part to his family’s links to slavery through West Indian plantations. He was granted large tracts of land in the colony of Western Australia and, despite dying in impecunious circumstances, this land provided the foundation for his descendants’ prosperity.
