Martha Whitehead travelled to Australia arriving in Risdon Cove in 1803 aged 17. At this time, she was Mistress to Lieutenant John Bowen. Historical notes indicate that she was helped ashore by Lieutenant Bowens crew and was in her opinion the first British woman to set foot in Tasmania. Martha was an independent farmer and later married Andrew Whitehead and together they were given a 200-acre land grant that covered the area adjoining 620 Briggs Road. Andrews death is noted in 1832. Four years later in 1836 the Brighton History Book states that she married Police Clerk Bernard Williamson and in this year Martha and Bernard built "The Cottage".
