Dolly Dalrymple, the daughter of Worrete-moete-yenner, is generally recognised as the first mixed-race person in Van Diemen's Land. Dalrymple was raised in Launceston by Dr Jacob Mountgarrett and his wife Bridget. They named her Dalrymple, after the entrance to the Tamar, Port Dalrymple. She later formed a relationship with ex-convict Thomas Johnson. Dalrymple and Johnson had thirteen children and became wealthy landowners. Mervyn Gower and Diana Wyllie are descendants.
