Andrew Tennant (20 June 1835 – 19 July 1913) was a Scottish-born Australian pastoralist, businessman and politician.〔Gordon D. Combe, ('Tennant, Andrew (1835–1913)' ), ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'', Volume 6, Melbourne University Press, 1976, pp 255-256.〕 ==Early years== Andrew was born on 20 June 1835 at Hawick, Roxburghshire, Scotland, to John Tennant and his wife Jessie Aitken. Soon after they migrated to South Australia with an assisted passage, arriving in either the ''Duchess of Northumberland''〔 or the ''Duchess of Sutherland'' with John Colton〔 on 19 December 1839. Andrew was educated at E. W. Wickes' school in North Adelaide. John began "pastoral pursuits", initially at Dry Creek on the Adelaide Plains, and then at Chain of Ponds in the Adelaide Hills, Lyndoch Valley in the Gumeracha district, and Burra. John became the first person to successfully move stock overland from Adelaide, via Port Augusta to Port Lincoln at the southern tip of Eyre Peninsula. He purchased Tallala station, from Port Lincoln, from a Mr. White of White Park, and raised cattle and sheep there for many years.〔(History of Adelaide and vicinity ), J. J. Pascoe, Ed., Hussey & Gillingham, Adelaide, 1901. pp338-340.〕 In 1853, Andrew commenced his own "pastoral pursuits", taking cattle west from Port Lincoln and settling for seven years on an abandoned site near Elliston, before owning several stations on southern Eyre Peninsula at Mount Wedge, Coffin Bay, and Streaky Bay. On 28 August 1862 he married Rachael Christina Ferguson in Adelaide. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andrew Tennant (pastoralist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
