| William Lee |
William Lee was the first to take up land in Upper Bylong, plus 2,000 acres
bordered by Dry Creek and what is now known as Bylong Creek. Later he took up
some holdings in the area of Coggan and Murrumbo. The development of these
areas was left to William Lee's sons, while he went on to become a political leader.
The Lee's bred stud shorthorn cattle and thoroughbred horses which became a
household word in colonial Australia.
George Windeyer Traill, great-grandson of William Lee and last member of the Lee family in Bylong, died in 1948.
