A publican's license was granted to George Chivers at the sign of the St. Aubins Arms on 10 July 1838.

In November 1840 the Australian newspaper reported in their country news that another Inn or house of accommodation was much wanted in the district of Scone.

'I hope some spirited individual will build one in the township before next licensing day; or, at all events, I trust, the next landlord that rents the St Aubin Arms will be more accommodating to his customers, as many complaints are made of his haughty and independent manner. No doubt it arises from his making an independence in a very short time, and in fact rose from nothing  40

In December 1840, the Inn was robbed by bushrangers who were known the Jewboy Gang.

In 1842, John P. Wilkie took over the St. Aubins Arms and re-named the premises the White Swan Inn

'Travellers to Liverpool Ranges, New England etc are respectfully informed that the undersigned having taken the Inn lately occupied by Mr. Chivers, has at great expense made considerable additions thereto and fitted it up in a style of comfort not often met with in the bush; has also repaired and added to the stables; and the whole is now open to the public under a new sign. Parties travelling therefore whose arrangements will admit of their passing the night at Scone will find that at the White Swan Inn they may obtain good entertainment for man and horse. J.P. Wilkie'  (2)

George Chivers moved to Muswellbrook where he began manufacturing tweed. He died at Lake Macquarie in November 1845.

Surgeon Patrick Montgomery died at St Aubins Hotel in 1860
