Overview

John Sydney Davis (1817 – 30 September 1893) was an early pastoralist and MLC in colonial Western Australia. Career Early life Born in Galway, Ireland in 1817, nothing is known of his life until he arrived in Western Australia on board the Trusty in about 1842. Initially he lived at Australind, then moved to Hotham River to manage William Burges' station there. Later he was at York in partnership with Robert de Burgh. Pastoralism In 1850, Davis joined a group of pastoralists including Major Logue, William and Lockier Burges, and Thomas and Kenneth Brown, in overlanding stock from York to Greenough. From 1852 he was partner in a lease of Glengarry, and the following year he settled at Tibradden Station.
