David Collins, Judge advocate and diarist with the first fleet recorded in March 1791:
"Some time this month, James Ruse, the first settler in this country, who had been upon his ground about fifteen months, having got in his crop of corn, declared himself desirous of relinquishing his claim to any further provisions from the store, and said that he was able to support himself by the produce of his farm. He had shewn himself an industrious man; and the governor being satisfied that he could do without any further aid from the stores, consented to this proposal, and informed him that he should be forthwith put in the possession of an allotment of thirty acres of ground in the situation he then occupied."
