from Jill in Oz:

Richard & Martha left England from London or Plymouth on the 22nd December 1846 on the "Phoebe" & arrived in South Australia at Port Adelaide on the 28th March 1847. They came as "free emigrants".

Also on the "Phoebe" came James Shackley, Martha's brother & her sister Hannah who married Ezra Bonham had arrived in South Australia the previous year in April (1846).

Eli Griffin & his wife Elizabeth Bonham along with Ephraim & Thomas Bonham all from Buckinghamshire were also on the "Phoebe".  Sarah Griffin - Eli & Elizabeth's daughter later married Richard & Martha's son Thomas & had 15 children.

Richard & Martha lived on "Pitchgreen Farm" in the district of Inverbrackie just out of Woodside, South Australia from 1848 onwards.

Martha died 19th January 1896 at home on "Pitchgreen Farm" ( died suddenly of paralysis - which may have been a stroke )

Richard died 9th June 1913 at home on "Pitchgreen Farm".

Both Richard & Martha were buried at Inverbrackie Cemetery & their headstone is still there. They were survived by 12 of their 14 children of which 2 had died in infancy.
