Subject Ewens, John Reynolds -- Obituary
John Reynold Ewens was one of James Chambers’ mail riders on the Coorong in 1852.

A family booklet claims that he was the person intercepted at Policemans Point by his elder brother, William, who was in the first escort & told to carry on to the Governor, advising of Tolmer’s approaching return.
Hence the name Policemans Point.
