It is now our responsibility, and that of the generations to come, to keep the stories, and there are many, alive.

Over the latter parts of the 19th century and early into the 20th century many references to Henry, Susannah and their family members were made regarding his prominence in the Hawkesbury region.

Revival of this interest has occurred during the past fifty years. Commitment from various Kable family members, has been strong in its action and activity to preserve the story of Henry and Susannah.
