Notes
James Wright and John Lanyon established Lanyon in the early 1830s. Many of their workers were convicts. Wright later moved across the Murrumbidgee River to Cuppacumbalong. He married Mary Davis in 1838 and died near Bombala in 1878. For more information refer to The Lanyon Saga by Bruce Moore.
