Kilpack was a convict who was transported on the First Fleet. He received his freedom in 1794 and was granted 30 acres in the Field of Mars. The following year he was granted another 50 acres. After his death, his widow, Eleanor McDonald, married Thomas Higgins, and their son Thomas Edward Higgins was the first white settler in the vicinity of Hornsby, settling in Old Man’s Valley in the 1820s. A plaque honoring David Kilpack is located in Kilpack Park, Epping. Margaret, please contact me at Jannali, Sydney. Commemorating David Kilpack and the First Land Grant

It was interesting to read your information above as I have been trying to find out what happened to him once he had served his time ie what work did he do and where did they live. You have filled in some gaps for me and I would love to hear any other information that you may have re this. cheers Margaret My family (the Boyds from Brisbane) are also decendants of David Kilpack.
