They eventually settled in the Kyneton area having 7 more children by the time Henry died. One of their children was Henry Ferris 04/9/1854 who married Sarah Maw 04/9/1854. They had children, one of which was Henry Ferris 22/07/1880 who married Elizabeth Mason born 1887 at Bairnsdale. They settled at Dubbo NSW where she worked in the local hospital. Prior to that Elizabeth and Henry owned a hotel or hotels in Geelong, were also possibly cotton growers in NSW and had a 1000 acre property called Eumungaree. Tom and Henry (brothers) were involved in wagons and steamtractors. Henry also owned a farm at Moora.
