John McPhillamy
John McPhillamy (15 September 1825 – 18 July 1887) was an Australian politician.
He was born at Windsor to convicts William McPhillamy and Mary Scott. He worked on his stepfather's property at Mount Tamar near Bathurst, becoming station manager and eventually inheriting. On 5 March 1849 he married Maria Sophia Dargan, with whom he had seven children. By the 1850s he held a further 68,000 acres in the Lachlan River district. In 1859 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for West Macquarie, but he resigned six months later. He continued to expand as a pastoralist, notably in the Wellington district. McPhillamy died at Mount Tamar in 1887.[1]
