1828 Census
Caleb Salter came free to Australia on the Henry Wellesley in 1828. He was a protestant and at the time of the census was a servant to Mr Lambert. (ref S0043)
Mr Edward Lambert was 50 yo at the time of the 1828 census, he was free by servitude. Arrived on the Earl Vincent in 1820 and served a seven year sentance. Edward Lamberts profession was as a Sawyer and he was employed by William Mealey in Princes Street Sydney. (L0106)
Edward Lambert employed two other people including Caleb Salter. Mary Salter- wife of Caleb Salter and Benjamin Perry.
William Mealey arrived in Australia in 1818 on the Isabella, by the time of the 1828 census he was 26 years old and free by servitude. He was a Protestant, and his occupation was as a sawyer, in Princes Street Sydney. As well as employing Edward Lambert he also emplyed Eliza James, probably as a servant.

On 6 Jul 1830 Caleb Salter was granted the liscence for the Kings Head, a Public House on the corner of Argyle Street and Harrington Street. He paid 25 pounds for the house. It is likely that this is the house that Mary Ann Gransden worked in for him, as a servant.
(Butt of Publicans Licence- Kings Head- 1830)
The place is described as two storey with seven rooms, built from stone with a shingle roof.

In 1830 Ryan disposed of the Argyle / Harrington St properties. The site of Reynolds Cottage was subdivided and sold to William Reynolds, a convict blacksmith also arriving in 1817. The corner block, including the house was sold to Fredrick Unwin. Unwin leased the house on the site to Caleb Salter who received a licence to operate the 'King's Head' in 1830. He held the licence to operate the hotel in what appears to be the same building built by Rampling until at least 1837. By 1834 Salter had acquired the freehold of the property and plans indicate it had been extended to the east, attaining a ground plan similar to the current structure, later plans indicate the extension to be a single storey.
