  James Ruse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Ruse (1759 – 5 September 1837), pioneer of agriculture in Australia, was born on a farm in Cornwall.
After 15 months Ruse announced that he and his wife Elizabeth (he married her in 1790) were now self-sufficient in food, and their farm formed the nucleus of a small community of farmers who, while technically still convicts, enjoyed considerable freedom and later had other convicts assigned to work for them.
After Ruse's sentence expired in 1792, the title of his land was deeded to him, the first land grant in the colony.
