Thomas Hudson Beare (30 December 1792 – 7 November 1861) was an early settler of South Australia, regarded as the colony's first storekeeper.
This marriage, the second in the Colony and the source of much gossip on account of their age difference, was performed by Captain George Martin aboard the John Pirie anchored at Nepean Bay.
Shortly after arrival, Beare, William Giles and Henry Mildred imported a batch of Merino ewes from Van Diemens Land to Kangaroo Island, some of the first brought into the colony, though stock losses on the unusually long trip aboard the Cygnet were considerable.
[6] His widow raised their five remaining dependent children by teaching music, and died at the home of her step-daughter Mrs. F. E.
[7] Thomas Hudson Beare (30 December 1792 – 7 November 1861) married Lucy Ann Loose (c. 1803 – 3 September 1837) in 1819.
