Convict Notes
This John ANDERSON married Elizabeth ROSTER. He is the one who was murdered by his wife. The original records confused the two men and accidentally linked their records. Robert Taylor wrote a useful treatise called "Two First Fleet Convicts", available in some state libraries, that carefully examines their records and identifies which John married which Elizabeth. https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/18188532?q&versionId=21349679
