‘Jack’ Hayne was the eldest son of Walter Hayne; the first husband of Mathew Miller’s eldest daughter Matilda Miller. It appears ‘Jack’ was the product of Walter Hayne’s first marriage? Official records are vague but certainly the Hayne family is writ large in the eons of early development of the Upper Hunter Valley; and in particular Scone and Gundy? I am quite intimately familiar with several personalities myself having employed a much valued member of the extended family many years ago.
