First of all I give and recommend my soul into the hands of Almighty God that gave it, and my body I commend to the earth to be burried in decent christian berrial at the discretion of my Executors and as touching such worldly estate herewith it has pleased God to bless me in the following manner" He made his son George executer of his will and bequeathed the three properties that he had acquired to his three youngest children Eliza, James and Matilda with the proviso that on their deaths that the properties would then pass to his three grandsons George, Thomas and James the eldest of George and sara's brood.

Cockle bay was used by convicts and their jailors to gather wattle for the walls of their huts. They found in the mud "tasty animals which they called cockles". In 1827 the area was renamed Darling Harbour in honour of Sir Ralf Darling.
