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.
