Gosh thanks for all the extra links, suggestions and information.

As I mentioned earlier, a Richard Wescott said that he owned a farm called Concord Farm in 1813 and that tends to contradict a lot of other details and suggestions. I guess it's possible Wescott was only leasing the land from one of the original grantees.

I've been thru almost all the original land grants shown on Ancestry. On these records many of the settlers gave a name to their property but haven't yet found one called Concord Farm unfortunately.

Appreciate your help  :-*

A bit late coming into this discussion but could Concord farm be the farm surrounding Concord Hospital which is the last remaining farm in Sydney...it was a working farm with horse agistment until a couple of years ago.  The Thomas Walker estates including Rivendell and Yaralla estates are all part of the farmland that houses Concord hospital now.  Rivendell is the original hospital before the Repat hospital was built after WW1.  The land is situated on the Parramatta River opposite Putney which is the suburb on the river south of Ryde.  Lots of information of Yaralla and Thomas Walker estates on the net.
Regards
Dianne
