Nash
Tom was one of 18 children. His parents were Isaac Sydney Nash who came from England when he was eight years old, and Elizabeth Jane Lawson who came from Ireland when she was four years of age. They were married at Jimboomba and moved to Upper Yarraman. At that time there were only four families living there. They travelled to the property in German wagons, camping out, and their cattle were brought up later.
