They had 9 children, the first Thomas Wentworth Wills was christened on 19 Aug 1835 in Gundagai, NSW. He died on 3 May 1880. He became famous as both a cricketter and footballer, an excellent painting of Tom hangs in the foyer of the Geelong Football Club at Kardinia Park. The club is open every day, where one can view the painting. After crossing the Murray with his entire family, servants, stockmen etc., he arrived at Mt. Ararat which he named ("as like the ark I rested here!!") and in 1843 built "Lexington" homestead on the property of 120,000 acres. (Note: Lexington is still inhabited). After he sold it for 253,000 pound, he moved to Pt. Henry, Geelong and built the first model farm in the colony (Bellevue). He also was first to import barbed wire for sheep fences to keep dingoes out! In 1860 he sailed for Rockhampton Qld, where P.F.McDonald (a neighbour) sold him Cullinlaringo Station on the Nagoa River, near Emerald, Central Qld. In 1861 he and his eldest son Tom and a party of 22 or so overlanded their sheep from Sydney. They had been on "Cullinglaringo" for three weeks when, on 17 Oct 1861 they were attacked by aborigines and all but three slaughtered (the largest single massacre in Australia). His son Tom had been sent to "Albinia Downs" station for supplies so was not at the murder scene. Horatio Wills is buried at Garden Creek where he died. His grave and the graves of all the other 18 (men, women and children) is in a small reserve. Elizabeth Wills (6th child of Horatio Wills and Elizabeth McGuire) was christened on 7 Jan 1852 in "Lexington" Station at Mt William, near Ararat, Victoria. She died on 21 Apr 1930 in Prahran.
