Uriah Crossley was mentioned in an article in The Empire, Sydney, NSW, Australia^G, on Tuesday, 3 April 1860 as follows:

The Yass Courier says :-It is with much regret we record the death by drowning, of an interesting child, five years old, the son of Mr. Jeremiah Crossley, of Wargiela. It appears that on the morning of Friday, the 23rd instant, the child accompanied his sister, who is about seven years old, to head some cows, and turn them in the direction of the house. The head of the Burrowa River is in the vicinty of tho house, and the little fellow sat down at the side of the water, where his sister left him for a few minutes. On her return she saw his body floating in the river and at once ran and acquainted her mother; --Mr. Crossley being from home at the time. The anxious parent on reaching the river, found that the body had sunk; several neighbours were shortly afterwards on the spot, but the body was not recovered for some hours.³

Article

The following was told to D G Bradfield in 1972 by Hezekiah's daughter, Mrs Gruber:

     Hezekiah Crossley was the youngest son of Jeremiah Crossley. He spent all of his life at Wargeila and died within a mile of where he was born. In his young days he shepherded sheep and was very fond of hunting kangaroos, native cats, possums and native bears.
     Hezekiah took up land adjoining his father's and married Sarah Ann Martin. They started their lives together in two rooms with a bark roof and earth floor. He had no education but his wife had a little and did any clerical work that had to be done.
     Quite a few people could not read so the police came around periodically and collected the returns. They usually stayed with the Crossleys for a night or two while collecting around the district.
     Hezekiah and Sarah had 12 children. As the family grew, and most people had large families, and churches were few, a minister would come from Yass to worship in Sarah Crossley's home. Eventually the house was too small and it was decided to build a Union Church on Hezekiah's property. There were three denominations. The church was built of slabs with an iron roof. He did a large room for himself used as a dining room and kitchen where they used to hold dances. His wife Sarah used to play the concertina and sometimes there would be a violin player who came to play for special ocassions.
