Roderic O'Connor (land commissioner)
Roderic O'Connor (1784–1860) was an Irish Australian landowner and public official, most notable for his activities as a land commissioner in Tasmania. He became one of the biggest landowners in Tasmania, and oversaw the modernisation of the land, typically using the forced labour of convicts.
O'Connor was notorious for his combative personality, and was constantly involved in verbal and legal feuding with local rivals, resulting in several court cases.
==Early life==
O'Connor was the oldest son of Roger O'Connor, an Irish nationalist who held extremely unorthodox views on history and religion. Roderic was named from Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair (Roderick O'Connor) the last High King of Ireland, from whom his father claimed lineal descent. He grew up in Dangan Castle, the childhood home of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. His mother Louisa died shortly after his birth. He had two notable half-brothers by his father's second wife: the Chartist leader Feargus O'Connor and the Irish-Bolivian general Francisco Burdett O'Connor. At one point Feargus and Francisco stole two of Roderic's horses in order to sell them and get away to London.〔James Dunkerley, "The Third Man: Francisco Burdett O'Connor and the Emancipation of the Americas", University of London Institute of Latin American Studies Occasional Papers, No. 20, 1999〕
