Frederick Dutton (Australian politician)

[2] Between 1830 and 1838, Frederick and William embarked upon several livestock-rearing endeavors, including on the Yass Plains, in the Monaro district, and in the vicinity of Albury on the banks of Lake Hume.

[3] Frederick first arrived in South Australia from New South Wales by ship around the beginning of 1841, having, in partnership with (sea) Captain John Finnis, had some 12,000 sheep brought overland, which they offered for sale in March 1841,[4] and also quantities of brandy, cigars and tobacco which they had brought by sea.

[5] Around 1840 he selected, in partnership with Charles Hervey Bagot, a section of 1500 acres (600ha) at Koonunga on the River Light, on which they ran sheep.

The partnership was dissolved in 1843 and Dutton took the lease on a property near Kapunda, which he named Anlaby for a village in Yorkshire.

[14] Unlike many "pioneers" who made their fortunes and retired to the "Old Country" as absentee landlords and shareholders, Frederick Dutton did leave some assets for the people of South Australia.
