John Morphett
Sir John Morphett (4 May 1809 – 7 November 1892) was a South Australian pioneer, landowner and politician.
==Early life==
Morphett was born in London, the second son of Nathaniel Morphett, a solicitor, and his wife Mary, ''née'' Gliddon, of Cummins, Ide, Devon, and was educated at Plymouth and Highgate Grammar Schools.〔 At 16 he was an office boy in the employ of a ship broker, Henry Blanshard. He then obtained a position in the counting house of Wilson & Blanshard. At 21 he left for Egypt and worked in the counting-house of Harris & Co in Alexandria. It was here that he met Colonel William Light. He returned to London in 1834, became interested in the South Australian colonisation schemes, and was an early investor in the South Australian Company; he was one of the first who paid £81 for a preliminary land order of 134 acres.〔(John Morphett ), www.southaustralianhistory.com.au〕 With his younger brother George, he set up an agency business and published a pamphlet declaing his intention of migrating to South Australia and his readiness to act for purchasers of land. He also advertised in similar terms in the Globe and Traveller, 30 July 1835.〔'(Morphett, Sir John (1809–1892) )', ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'', Volume 2, Melbourne University Press, 1967, pp 261–262. Retrieved 2009-10-17〕 In September 1834 he joined the South Australian Literary Association, and around the end of 1835 he attended the dinner given to honour Captain Hindmarsh's appointment as governor of South Australia.
