• Notes:
  Elizabeth Macarthur Onslow was born at Camden Park in 1840, the only child of James and Emily Macarthur and granddaughter of John and Elizabeth who had established a fine wool industry in New South Wales. In 1867 she married Captain Arthur Onslow and they had eight children, of whom five sons and one daughter survived to adulthood. Her husband Arthur died in 1882. After the death of her uncle, Sir William Macarthur, in 1882 Elizabeth Onslow inherited Camden Park. Ten years later Elizabeth officially changed her surname to Macarthur Onslow. She was patron of a number of voluntary organisations including the Camden School of Arts and the Camden Agricultural, Horticultural and Industrial Society, which held the first Camden Show in 1886.
