There is a plaque at the gaol alongside the hard wooden beds the warders slept on stating he was the first warder at that particular (now tourist) gaol. Between 1830 and 1834 whilst still in the Army he was in charge of the Commissariat there. He passed away in 1841 at quite a young age. Their son Isaac who was born at Swan River became the Bailiff at Albany and his wife Rose was a well known midwife there. Another of John's sons Benjamin was a sawmill owner with a Mr Bird up in the Darling Range and they built a railway to convey the timber down to Cannington where Masons Landing is situated and from there the timber was floated down to Fremantle.
