Convict Notes
would love other family to contact me at pattiemshaw53@gmail.com
John Bone married Janet Dewar in Greenough Western Australia They had a daughter Mary Ann Bone who married William Pearce They had a daughter Mary Elizabeth Pearce who married Luke Bunter They had a daughter Vera Rose Bunter who married Francis Arnold Hugh Shaw They had 2 daughters Rose Ann Shaw and myself Patricia Shaw
He was given a ticket of leave on the 16th December 1857 at Champion Bay and was given a conditional pardon on the 18th August 1861. He took up farming at Bootenal (an area near Greenough) but this was very hard as the land had to be cleared and they had no money or equipment. He met is partner at Greenough. No doubt life was very difficult for women in those time. Interestingly, he had two wives, but there is no record that he ever divorced!!!
