Research Notes

• At Cygnet

River, about eight miles from Kingscote ... is an old walnut tree. I think it must be almost 9O years old, as the late Mrs. John Wright (nee Emma Granger) told me as a child that when they came out from Erigland and settled on the island, her sister planted quite a number of the seeds of English plants and trees that they had brought with them.
