Convict Notes
William was transported on the "William and Ann". In the colony he married Catharine Malone (Convict, Sugar Cane, 1793). They married at Parramatta, June 5th 1794. They did have one or perhaps two children but they do not appear to have survived infancy. In the 1802 Muster [Ref AF273 & AG158], Catherine and William had 30 acres of land 24 of which was cleared, 12 sown with wheat, 8 pigs. They were both Off Stores but no children are shown. Things must have deteriorated in 1805 because… The following appeared in the Sydney Gazette: “... William Butts, settler hereby forbids any person accrediting on his account Catherine Butts, his wife (formerly Catherine Malone), as no debt or debts by her contracted will be acknowledged or discharged by him, the said William Butts.” In 1806 [Ref A3232] Catherine is listed as a Hospital Nurse at Parramatta. William [Ref A0233] is single. By the 1814 Muster Catherine [Ref 3094] is noted as “Wife of William Butts” Off Stores. No children are listed. They appear to be back together. However, in the mean time, Catherine has had a child William Fry born 1812. The father was Samuel Fry (Convict, Royal Admiral 1797).
