In 1841, the Henry's lived in a house at Jamberoo owned by Captain Collins, who had a lease on John Ritchie's Estate.

John Henry worked as a carpenter and sawyer and was probably working for Captain Collins, who built the Woodstock Flour and Timber Mill. John also worked on the Robb Estate 'Riversdale' at Jamberoo, and had a tenant's lease.

John died at ‘Riversdale’ in 1849 aged just 45 years, leaving Margaret with 13 children to take care of.

In 1851, Margaret Henry married Andrew Edward McClelland at Kiama. They moved to Nerriga, NSW where Margaret died in 1873.
