!BIOGRAPHY: Rev. Dr. Donald MacKinnon and Alick Morrison, THE MACLEODS--THE GENEALOGY OF A CLAN, Section II, Edinburgh, The Clan MacLeod Society, 1968, pp. 11, 12. Was born, on 8th October 1816, at Durham, England, and, at four years of age, accompanied his father to Van Diemen's Land. On reaching manhood, John Norman crossed to Port Philip, landed at Indented Head with sheep, travelled thirty-five miles up the River Moorabool, by way of Geelong, and firmed his first station, Borhoneyghurk. This was in October 1837. In the same year he formed another grazing property of 4,300 acres on the Moorabool, and, in June 1848, he purchased a property, consisting of 3,200 acres, on the Barwon River. In 1849-50, he sold all three stations, and purchased Tahara and Winninburn sheep runs, comprising 24,000 acres, on the Wannon River. In 1853, the Winninburn portion was sold, and later on Tahara. In January 1854, he purchased Castlemaddie, where he and his family finally settled. John Norman was appointed a magistrate by Sir George Gipps, and for many years was the only magistrate at Hamilton. He represented Portland in the Legislative Assembly at Victoria from 1856 to 1861. Always a friend of the aborigines, he was responsible for many reforms in the treatment of these primitive people. John Norman MacLeod married Agnes, daughter of Alexander Paterson, solicitor, an old resident of Van Diemen's Land, who arrived there in 1821, with issue. John Norman MacLeod died, on 18th April 1886, at Castlemaddie, and his wife, Agnes Paterson, died, in 1902, at Portland, Victoria.
