James Hooper Endacott
James Hooper Endacott was born on 14 September 1857. He was the son of James Hooper Endacott (senior) and Sarah Ann McLean and it is reported that he was the first of their children born at Merrendee, where they made their home.
On 12 April 1899, he married Jane Cameron at Mudgee, NSW. Jane was the half sister of Barbara Leggett, whom James' brother Richard Henry Endacott had married 15 years earlier.

Later, James and Jane built a home near the one where James had been raised. The house, built in approximately 1904, is shown above. Almost a hundred years later, the house is in disrepair but parts of it still stand on the "Fairview" property, still owned by members of the Endacott family.
James Hooper Endacott and his wife Jane were buried on the Endacott property.
James' mother Sarah is also buried on this site.
