Early lifeArchiald Mosman was born on 15 October 1799 in Scotland to Hugh Mosman, convener of Lanark and Agnes Kennedy of Auchtyfardle, Lesmahagow near Lanarkshire. He had a twin brother George and an older brother Hugh a deputy-lieutenant.[1] Career and personal lifeArchibald and George Mosman spent some time growing sugarcane in the West Indies before arriving in Australia aboard the Civilian in 1828.[1] The pair promptly started a business in Sydney, establishing a warehouse on George Street which they used to ship wool to Liverpool.[1] Around 1832, Archibald left the wool business and moved into whaling, operating a pair of whaling vessels out of Sirius Cove.[1] In 1831 Mosman built The Barn, subsequently acquired by The Scout Association of Australia NSW Branch for use a scouts and girl guides hall. On 2 April 1999 the building was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register.[2] Mosman married in 1847 and is believed to have had eleven children.[1] His son Hugh Mosman discovered gold in Charters Towers and was a Member of the Queensland Legislative Council. His daughters Cecilia and Harriette married Arthur Hunter Palmer and Thomas McIlwraith, both Queensland Premiers.[3] He died in 1863.[1] He is buried in St Jude's Anglican Church, {{NSWcity|Randwick}} cemetery.
