Background
Matthew Henry Marsh, 1810-1881, was a young barrister in England. He came out in 1840 and in 1846 bought 34,000 acres from (later Sir) Robert Ramsey Mackenzie, 1811-1873, whose early land deals relied heavily on borrowing. He called his holding Salisbury Plains and his house Salisbury Court, after his home in England, where his father was a canon of the Cathedral. He afterwards represented the city in the British Parliament.
