Dear Felix,
Hello from Australia, I found the book of Soden on the internet and was so excited to find that I am connected to the Soden families you have written about, so I thought
I f you didn’t mind I would send you my information to include if you so wished. 

Thank you so much for making the Soden Book accessible. I was so thrilled to find it. Very Best Wishes from your Australian Cousins
Yours Truely Suzanne Woodhams

Soden History in Mt Beppo

Robert Dawson and Mary moved their family to Mt Beppo where they applied for a government selection in 1885. (Three years before Henry Plantagenet Somerset came to the area and secured 20,000 acres at Mt Stanley ,

Caboonah Homestead, NSW
Caboonah Homestead, NSW

The Caboonba Homestead). The Sodens Selection registered in Ipswich Portion 154 Parish of Cressbrook, County of Cavandish,7008 selection of 160 acres. The land was rich scrub land and had to be cleared and built on in just a couple of years. They grew corn and Lucerne . Had cows for milk, butter, cream and meat, chickens for eggs and meat and grew vegetables.
In 1894 Robert Dawson took on the mail contracts around Cressbrook, Mt Stanley, and Mt Beppo district and also established a Receiving Office on the corner of his property on Mt Beppo Road . He also donated some land for a community hall. Which held Dances and other social events.

Most religious services in those days were held in in the homes of the Sodens as well as the Somersets when a travelling minister came around possible once a month .To cater for the growing Protestant community 

The Sodens and the Somersets organized and built the Caboonba Church as an undenominational Church for all to use.. It was finished being built in Nov 1905, Robert Dawson died on the 3rd January 1905 so was buried in the cemetery before the church was built but sadly he was not the first Soden buried there. Richard aged 2yrs son of Edward William and Minnie (Nofz) died in 16.8.1904.
The first rail could be removed so that Mrs Mary Soden Snr could be wheeled off a buckboard in a wheel chair and enter the church.
There has been a Soden family member on the board of Trustees since 1905 and still has a four generation Soden is Treasurer at the moment.

1863

Robert Dawson Soden and his wife Mary Francis Mortimer , married in Ireland in 1862 and migrated to Queensland arriving 2nd July 1863. They arrived on the Cairngorm ship and are listed as assisted immigrants.His father is recorded as Charles Henry Soden and his mother as Letitia Kellett. I strongly suspect he is a descendant of the Soden family of Cavan County. Their first child Kate was born in Ireland on the 7/4/1863. Robert and Mary had 10 children in total and they were both successful farmers in the Mt Beppo District. According to Robert Dawson Soden death Certificate he was born on the 27/10/1837 died on the 3/1/1905.

Robert and Mary were a pioneering farming family in the Mt Beppo district near Brisbane Queensland.[Source: Roslyn McCarthy, great great granddaughter who still farms in the area.
