Major General Lachlan Macquarie, CB (Scottish Gaelic: Lachann MacGuaire) was a British Army officer and colonial administrator from Scotland born on January 31 January 1762 – 1 July 1824).
Macquarie was the fifth and last autocratic Governor of New South Wales from 1810 to 1821, and he was instrumental in the colony's socioeconomic, economic, and architectural development.
He is considered to have had a major role in the transformation of New South Wales from a penal colony to a free settlement and has thus played a key role in the early twentieth century's Australian society.
Macquarie issued orders in 1816 that resulted in the Appin Massacre of Gundungurra and Dharawal people.
Early life
Lachlan Macquarie was born on the coast of Mull in the Inner Hebrides, a string of islands off the coast of Scotland's west coast. His father, Lachlan senior, was a carpenter and miller, and he was a cousin of a Clan MacQuarrie chieftain. Margaret Maclaine, the 19th laird of Lochbuie, was his mother. Despite this, his parents, who were unliterate and probably illiterate, were still poor and needlessly educated, leasing and assisting a small farm as sub-tenants at Oskamull. Macquarie was taken to Edinburgh to be educated, perhaps attending the Royal High School of Edinburgh, where he learned about English and arithmetic in his early teens.
