Notes for Samuel Colebee
1827
Birth of Norbetus Colebee son of Kitty of Warmuli Prospect clan of Darug. Placed in Parramattta Native Institution1814. Later called Black Kitty. She married Colebee 1822 , he is a Native Constable.1328
===============================================================================================
Colebee, son of Yarramundie and bulunga to Maria is not to be confused with Colbee from Wungal in Sydney. We are of the line of Colebee>
Colebee (aka Coleby, Coley) succeeded in accomadating and adapting to the ways of the new colonial masters. It was he whom accompanied William Cox in the construction of the road across the Blue Mountains in 1814, including acting as a guide during the European-led punitive expedition against the Gundungurra in 1816. The fact that those 14 men, women, and children were killed at their camp near Appin were found by the only European party that did not have any Darug guides attached seems to indicate that theDarug guides led them away.Colebee and Nurragingy were granted a parcel of land by Governor Macquarie in 1816, finalised in 1819. The land granted in present day Blacktown was originally named BLACKSTOWN, Nurragingy and his family farmed the land until 1833 when the nearby Native Institution closed it's doors. Nurragingy was said to never be the same after the death of his life long Mudjin Colebee, and it has been suggested that the farm went unattended during Nurragingy's months of mourning.
The land presented is at present day adjacent to Richmond Road to Bells Creek on Boongarrunbee, what would later become known as Blackstown which is also related to a black place of residence.
Colebee took the name Samuel Colebee and Married a young woman, Black Kitty, from the prospect Warmuli clan who had attended the Parramatta Institution. Colebee andBlack Kitty had a son and named him Samuel Colebee, who it has been said became a farmer, a native constable and eventually found his calling for the sea.1329
