- This is an extract from "Crows Nest History" by Robin Smith
Born at Cornwall, Thomas Williams was another Cornishman. He had been a fisherman, excursions which often took him into the North Sea around Scotland. Once the fishing smack was "run down" and sank in five minutes, but all hands were rescued. In the late sixties he came to Australia and first saw Crows Nest when he passed through in 1868 with surveyor Hume. He was with Mr Hume for 16 years during which time he helped survey most of the best land on the Darling Downs and Moreton. Eventually he selected the country at the Tin Mines, Crow's Nest. Mr Hume strongly advised him to take up land where Pittsworth now stands, but he refused to look at it. In later years, asked why he had chosen Crow's Nest he would reply: Birds of a feather flock together - Littletons, Barnes, Madderns and another Cousin Jacks settled in Crow's Nest so I thought I'd roost there too"
It is said that Cornishmen generally are adapts at wrestling, because it is one of the principle past times of Cornish youth. Mr Williams was a great wrestler. His first wrestle after leaving his home, was on ship on which he was travelling to Australia. He was one of four constables whose duty it was to keep order among the passengers. This was no easy task with sixty or seventy women on board, and one day a ship's mate said to Mr Williams "Why don't you turn into those women and keep them in order" "I'd rather turn into you than tackle that lot" was the reply. The wrestling followed. Victory for Mr Williams resulted in a challenge to fight from the vanquished one. Mr Williams proved here that the Cornishmen can also fight. His man went down the second time quicker than the first.
Another wrestling match in which he took part was held in the 80's on the old sports ground at Toowoomba. His opponent on this occasion was a man named Grehan of Hampton. Some time later Mr Williams was challenged by a native named Paddy Perkins who had an uncontrollable desire to throw Mr Williams the white wrestling champion. Paddy had upended every abbo (sic) with whom he had grappled and felt he could do the same to any white man The abbo pushed his claim for a tussle so strenuously that Willilams agreed to meet him. A match was arranged and took place in Toowoomba. Paddy was a splendid example of the best type of Australian native - strong, muscular, lithe, slippery as an eel and the greatest hand springer known. On the day of the match the contestants appeared early. Paddy as near his natural state as civilization would allow. He had no desire to spoil his Sunday suit, so wore only an old pair of trousers which covered him with patches. Following is and account of the match as it was reported in the newspaper of the day--- The black led the way to a stony piece of ground and then stood up with a defian, never to be beaten look, ready for the fray. Williams who was not at all enarmoured of the spot chosed, sail " What did you bring me to this rought ground for Paddy""; "Because I'm going to throw yer - and hard'll be your fall ol' man" "Oh " said Williams, "Well, you get a bit of clothes on man, I can't grab your greasy old black hide"
Paddy's reply was empathic, "You cath it shoulder - ribs - stomach- catch where you can- dat's the game of rasilin' boy; By gosh i'm ready-you come on white pellow and I'll show you. There was a grab and a little shuffle and things looked very pie-bald for a few seconds. Paddy was trying to lift Williams up in his arms for the purpose of trrowing him over the fence into the street. But the lift came from the white man. Paddy's feet wer soon beating time in the air where his head should have been. Another Cornish twist and away went Paddy - nearly minus pants altoghther. After a second attempt to throw the white man which ended more disasterously than the first, the wrestling itch left Paddy.
Wrestling was not Mr Williams' only accomplishment, at one time no concert or entertainment in the district was a success unless Thomas William's name was on the programme to sing one of his cheery ditties. A great favourite, and one he dang hundreds of times was "Betsy Baker", another, "Cheer Boys Cheer".
He ws once invited to join a touring concert party, but declined the honour, preferring to cheer the boys in his own town with his gifts.
