Three of Robert Alomes' sons were early settlers at South Arm. John and George Alomes were listed on the electoral roll in 1856, leasing land from George Gellibrand. Later both owned farms. Their brother Robert arrived later after farming at Clarence Plains. George's firstwife was Janet McKay and he later married Agnes Musk. His granddaughter, Mrs Potterstill owns part of his farm. His descendants are now living at South Arm, Launceston and the Australian mainland.
