The story of the Beacham family is very dramatically described in Goxhill to the Swan. *"William and his wife and their five children arrived per "Lotus" on the 6th October, 1829. Tragedy dogged this family. Mary died in 1830, followed by their daughter Elizabeth in the same year. Two years later Reuben William Beacham was speared to death at Greenmount."
"Carrying provisions to those settlers, John Chipper and Beacham, a boy were driving a cart over Greenmount when they were attacked by Blacks. The boy was killed almost instantly, but Chipper, though wounded in one arm and having a spear sticking in his side, escaped by jumping over the rock that now bears his name - "Chippers Leap."
William Beacham was to become a prominent settler in the colony.
