Mannalargenna Resource Page

Aboriginal Chief of the Cape Portland Tribe

Mannalargenna was the chief of the Ben Lomond tribe (Plangermaireener Nation). His wife was Tanleboneyer of the Sawnport tribe (Loontiternairerlehoiner Nation). Five children recorded; 1 son, 4 daughters. Son Neerhepeererminer. Daughters Woretermoeteyenner (aka Pung, Bung or Bong). Wottecowidyer (aka Wot, Wat, Harriet). Wobbelty. Teekoolterme.

Woretermoeteyenner was the mother of Dolly Dalrymple (b c. 1808 d 1/9/1864) and had four other children. This page is designed to be a resource for those researching Mannalargenna and his descendants, notably Dolly Dalrymple from whom my wife Leanne descends.

I have six documents online.

• The first is titled The Courage of Dolly Dalrymple and is a direct transcript from [R.A. Watson, Parade, Nov 1975]



• The second is the contents of an email I received - author unknown. It describes Dolly Dalrymple in a different way



• The third document is a transcription of The Briggs Genealogy – from "The Tasmanian Aborigines and their descendants (Chronology, Genealogy and Social Data) by Bill Mollison and Coral Everitt. December 1978.



• The fourth document is a compilation of pictures of Mannalargenna - Dolly Dalrymple's grandfather.



• The fifth document is a Mannalargenna and "Dolly"Dalrymple Johnson neé Briggs Reference Page where I have an extensive list of off-line references provided.



• The last document is a Photograph of Dolly Dalrymple, where the authenticity is in question

This site also hosts a generic Aboriginal Resource Page where it has a database of those who others are looking for, details of mailing lists, links and many other resources
