Two convict stations were situated in Green Ponds and a military barracks at Glenfern Estate. In 1838 the town was renamed after early administrator and businessman Anthony Fenn Kemp who established the property Mount Vernon immediately to the north of where the township later grew. The hotel at Kempton was a popular first night stop for the trip from Hobart to Launceston. Green Ponds Post Office opened on 1 June 1832 and was renamed Kempton in 1895.

Note	SMH: Tuesday 14 February 1882 COOTAMUNDRA MONDAY Two very sad cases of drowning occurred during last week. The wife of Matthew Hamilton, of Illabo, was found drowned in a dam half a mile from the house. Apparently she had attempted to cut her throat, and then drowned her self, on Friday night. The bodies of Mrs. James Jamieson and her youngest child, formerly of Shoalhaven, who live within a short distance of the Hamiltons, were found drowned in a tank near the house. Mr. Jamieson, on returning from his selection at some distance, found his older children in bed, and upon searching found the bodies as stated. An inquest is to be held.
Note	Margaret Hastie Hamilton was the daughter of David Hastie (1781-1851) and Catherine Phillip (1796-1847). She married Matthew Hamilton in Glasgow on the 28th November, 1851. Their first son, Thomas, was born in Lanark, Scotland in 1852. Catherine, their first daughter, was also born in Lanark in 1854. The young family arrived in Australia in 1855. Their family grew until their 12th child, Robert, was born in 1872. Life in the colony was not easy for Margaret. Living conditions, for a young mother with a number of small children would have been far more challenging than life in the mother country. Her husband, Matthew would have been fully occupied with providing food and housing for his family, leaving Margaret alone for long periods of time. One could only imagine how isolates and lonely Margaret must have felt during her early years in Australia. The wife of Mr. Matthew Hamilton, of Illabo, was found drowned in a dam half a mile from her house. She apparently had attempted to cut her throat and then drowned herself. (Monday 13th Feb 1882. Cootamundra Herald) Margaret Hamilton is not actually buried in the Illabo cemetery. As she was a victim of suicide, at that time, it was not permitted for her to be buried on consecrated ground. Margaret was returned to the family property "Rose-Vale" and buried in an unmarked grave near the site where she took her life. It is heartbreaking to think that Margaret felt that she had no choice but to end her life in that way leaving young children without their mother. We, her descendants, remember her with love and compassion. May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
