THE "EBENEZAR" was a schooner of 47 Tonnes, and was brought out to Australia by her owner, Captain James HAVINDEN , with his family,  wife and seven children to make their home in the new south land.
Disaster nearly befell them in the " Bay of Biscay", during a violent storm,  where the family were battened down below  hatches to await what ever fate had in store for them.
At the "Cape of Good Hope", Havinden, thought for the sake of the welfare of his family, that to continue was too great a risk, and sought to sell the "EBENEZAR",  but with no sale eventuating, he was forced to continue the voyage.
Six months after leaving England, the "EBENEZAR" put into  "Port Phillip", the  epic voyage in the little ship was continued to "Two Fold Bay" where it was terminated. The "EBENEZAR" being sold, afterwards, coming into the hands of the Boyd family.  The Havinden family, made the trip to  Sydney in a ship called the "Black Eagle", to be followed by settlement in the Clarence River district,  where settlement was being opened up.
In the early sixties, Havinden became chief constable, head of the police in Grafton, NSW. only to resign a few years later, when reorganisation placed a man over him,  a thing his independent spirit could not tolerate,  He died in 1897 being burried at  Rookwood Cemetry.
