Hallsannery

Hallsannery is a Georgian style mansion, which should not be confused with nearby Annery, Monkleigh. In 1891 it was occupied by Richard Boucher James (1822-1908), a pioneering settler in South Australia, and his family. He was born in Jamaica and in 1839 arrived in South Australia on board the Dumfries, with two of his  brothers, William Rhodes James and John Vidal James. Immediately following the completion of surveys at Inman Valley, South Australia, the land, abounding with Kangaroos, was opened for selection and in early 1840 the first European settlers to establish a homestead at Inman Valley were the three young James brothers, William Rhodes James, John Vidal James, and Richard Boucher James. They carved a shortcut – James Track – to their land. In 1848  at Willunga he married  Mary Le Brun (née Helmore) (born 1821 Isle of Wight). In 1856 together with partners he purchased the 60,000 acre Canowie Station, where he lived until 1863, when he returned to England. In Devon he purchased Hallsannery House from where he continued his interest and management of the Canowie Pastoral Company until his death in 1908. He gave his profession in the 1891 census as "Land & Stockholder in Australia". Transport
