Convict Notes
Sorry, that should read 'the contribution above'. I will add a profile page for Sarah Barnes who is not listed as yet.
The contribution below is incorrect – this Robert was 23 years old when convicted which makes his birth date C1795 – which is long after Sarah Barnes arrived in the colony and so he could not be her father. This Robert should also not be confused with the Robert Barnes who arrived per ‘Mariner 1816’, he is the one that married Sophia Walker.
