James King (pioneer)
James King (1800 – 29 November 1857)〔David S. Macmillan, '(King, James (1800 - 1857) )', ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'', Volume 2, MUP, 1967, pp 54-55. Retrieved 23 August 2009〕 was a Scottish-Australian who was important in the establishment of the wine industry in Australia.
==Biography==
King left Scotland in 1826 as a free settler possessed of capital, and arrived in Sydney early in 1827, and went into business as a merchant.〔 In 1828 King received a grant of 2000 acres (8 km²) of land at Irrawang in the northern part of the colony, which became his chief interest. In 1831 he discovered some sand near Sydney suitable for glass-making, samples of which were sent to England and found to be of fine quality. In January 1832 he asked that he might be rewarded for his discovery by a grant of of land near Sydney, part of the present site of the University. This was refused, but the English authorities suggested that he should be allowed the sum of £100 off the price of any land he might purchase from the state. King was much dissatisfied, and six years later was still endeavouring to have his claim better recognized. King had no success though he was able to mention that the Society of Arts in London had awarded him its silver medal, and that he had a fresh claim on account of his having established a pottery in the colony.
