William Rutter emmigrated to NSW to superintend the Saltworks owned by Mr John Blaxland. His 3rd marriage to Charlotte Flowers nee Robinson who had come to Australia to be Governess to Mr Blaxland Family.

William Rutter made a very valuable contribution to the Colony in his role as Salt Maker for John Blaxland. Salt was essential for curing meat and hides and protecting ships timbers from dry rot. Imported salt was costly and not always available.

In 1844 at Darling Forest (now part of Milton), there was a Mr Rutter who was the children's tutor, he may a relative of the Lady of the house (Caroline Blake Kendall nee Rutter) but research across the vast branches of the Rutter Family has yet to prove exactly who this may have been.
