	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/John Macarthur (wool pioneer)
		John Macarthur (1766 – 11 April 1834) was a soldier, entrepreneur, politician and pioneer of the Australian wool industry.
		Macarthur was born in Plymouth, Devonshire, the second son of Alexander Macarthur, who had fled to the West Indies after the Jacobite Rising before returning and working as a linen draper selling naval slop clothing.
		Macarthur had gained the right to return to Sydney through lobbying, but would not accept the conditions imposed that he admit his wrong doing and promise his good behaviour and so he remained in England until Lord Camden granted him unconditional return to NSW in 1817.

		Macarthur is considered the father of the Australian Merino industry however in the long term his sheep had very little influence on the development of the Australian Merino.
		Macarthur pioneered the introduction of Saxon Merinos with importation from the Electoral flock in 1812.
		Merino may be an adaptation to the sheep of the name of a Castilian official inspector (merino) over a merindad, who may have also inspected sheep pastures.

	MacArthur, John
		Macarthur in reply wrote to the governor complaining that he had been grossly insulted, and stating that Atkins could be proved to be "a public cheater, living in the most boundless dissipation, without any visible means of maintaining it than by imposture on unwary strangers".
		Macarthur was unable to obtain a copy of the letter for some time but when he did the old fires revived, and he wrote an abusive and insulting letter to Field who quite properly took no notice of it.
		In 1839 James Macarthur was nominated to the legislative council and in 1859 was elected to the legislative assembly.

	Macarthur, John (1767 - 1834) Biographical Entry - Australian Dictionary of Biography Online (Site not responding. Last check: )
		MACARTHUR, JOHN (1767?-1834), soldier, entrepreneur and pastoralist, was baptized on 3 September 1767 at Stoke Damerel, near Plymouth, England, one of three known children of two expatriate Scots, Alexander Macarthur (formerly of Argyllshire) and his wife Catherine (d.1777), who lived in the parish of St Andrew in Devonport.
		Macarthur soon had the assistance of thirty-four convict labourers to work his 8500 acres (3440 ha), though in 1806 his highly suspect proposal to manage the herds of wild government cattle at the Cowpastures was deferred with relief by King for the consideration of his successor, Governor Bligh.

	Macarthur, Elizabeth (1766 - 1850) Biographical Entry - Australian Dictionary of Biography Online (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Elizabeth Macarthur, her ordered home, her carefully nurtured children always escaped any criticism which could be levelled against John, as they escaped from any possible reprisal for his part in the rebellion against Governor Bligh.
		Business partners administered the wide range of John's mercantile affairs during his absence, but his wife was responsible for the care of the valuable merino flocks, the Camden Park estate and the direction of its convict labourers, with the assistance only of her nephew, Hannibal Macarthur, who was less experienced than she in colonial affairs.
		A great part of the achievement was that of John, with his flair for publicity, his astute direction and his unfailing economic vision, but a significant proportion of it was Elizabeth's, since her determination and administrative ability overcame the first and most formidable practical obstacles, which were within the colony, to the export of wool.

	Evolving the Australian Alpaca - By Bill Robbins
		The merino industry in Australia was founded by John Macarthur, but Macarthur's sheep were constitutionally small and would never have made it to the end of the first week of a Riverina (southern NSW) drought.
		The Merino spread from the Riverina to all parts of Australia and developed their own peculiarities to suit the areas they were run in.
		We have Merinos as diverse as the super-fine, shedded Merino cutting two to three kilograms of eleven to twelve micron and small in frame, to the large South Australian Merino, cutting almost ten times the amount of wool and with a micron of up to twenty-four or twenty-five.
