He was born in Cornwall to farmer Jeremiah Brice Rundle and Elizabeth White. He emigrated to Australia around 1835 and settled at Murrurundi, where he ran a store. He was eventually a partner in a mercantile firm, which ran until 1859. On 18 March 1848 he married Mary Simond, with whom he had eleven children. He remained a prominent businessman in the colony, and also owned extensive land in the Liverpool Plains, as well as the Warrego and Darling Downs districts in Queensland. In 1882 he was appointed to the New South Wales Legislative Council, where he served until his death at Potts Point in 1893.[1]
