Note: Andrew's application for free passage to South Australia was No. 8706 dated 10 Jun 1840. he gave his age (incorrectly) as 39 and his wife's as 38. His occupation was "farm laborer" and his address (pre-embarkation lodgings) as 9 Weekes Street, Plymouth. Separate applications of the same date and address were made by his eldest daughter Ellen, "dressmaker" aged 17, and eldest son William "butcher", aged 15. The other children were males aged 11 and 1 year, and females aged 12, 8, 7, & 3 years. The ship "Brightman" from London was probably joined at Plymouth and they arrived at Port Adelaide on December 13,1840.
Andrew also took up land in the Tam-O-Shanter Belt, but when the Government required part of it (now Islington) he moved north to One 'Tree Hill between Adelaide and Gawler and established "Attyford Farm". The area was originally called Little Para. Andrew died there aged 69 in 1866 and his wife continued the farm with their youngest son Samuel Roe the 2nd. (1839-1914). When Sophia died in 1878 aged 78, Samuel R. removed to Second Valley on the south coast. The family name is recorded by Shillabeer Avenue, Croydon Park and at Elizabeth East and Elizabeth Park, as Shillabeer Road.
